The one that tops everybody's best hybrid cars is the Toyota Prius. The hybrid version gives up some trunk space over the normal Civic because of the battery, but it does have a stellar dependability history in fact, there are no recalls listed for these model years. The four-door is rated at 7.6 litres/100 km city and 6.3 on the highway – also notice it uses more gas in the city than the larger Ford does. It's the Civic that you'll find the most plentiful and affordable, with models in the 2006-09 range available for our prices plus, it looks like a normal car, if that's important to you. Honda has a spate of hybrids, from its Insight – the one that started it all in 1999 – to its compact Civic and sportier CRZ. But the Fusion gets better fuel economy than the Toyota, rated by the EPA at 6.9 litres/100 km in the city and 7.8 on the highway – the city rating is better than the highway number, an indication of how effective its hybrid motor does the job.īut if you don't need a large car, there are plenty of smaller hybrids with good fuel economy. The Fusion has also proven to have a good reliability record and is on the list of Consumer Reports' best hybrids, along with the Camry. You'll find these in the 2007-08 range, which offered fuel economy ratings of 8.6 litres/100 km in the city and 8.3 on the highway not bad, considering its ability to move five people and their cargo.īut the Camry is on the humdrum side to drive if you want a bit more spirit – and a newer car – take a look at the 2010 Ford Fusion, the first year this mid-sized car was offered with a hybrid powertrain. If you need more room, the Camry Hybrid is a mid-sized car with proven reliability. There's no denying that Toyota leads the hybrid-car segment.
