We evaluate fuel economy under standardized conditions, using a specific procedure on our test track to calculate stop-and-go city-driving numbers and a 5-mile stretch of a nearby high-speed road for highway mileage. (Learn more about how Consumer Reports tests cars.)
Below, you’ll find the recommended vehicles that get the best fuel economy overall: Each gets at least 35 mpg. Some of them cost the same as—or even less than—their comparable nonhybrid versions and will start saving you money immediately.
For more on fuel economy, we have a complete guide to the most fuel-efficient cars, trucks, and SUVs on the market today. We can also help you decide whether going electric makes financial sense.
