If you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you might as well look for one with great gas mileage. Electric vehicles are good and getting better, but they’re still not right for everyone, which means there’s no shame in shopping for a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid instead. If you want to get the best mileage from your potential new vehicle, narrow your shopping list to the models you’ll see here.
On the following slides, you’ll see the new vehicles on sale now with the best mileage ratings, according to the EPA. These cars are a mix of hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and you’ll see other key information about each vehicle.
As you read, keep in mind that our rankings and reviews are updated regularly as new information becomes available. That means that any scores or ratings mentioned here might not match the vehicle’s full review.
2024 Lexus ES 300h
44 mpg combined
The Lexus ES Hybrid is a sleek luxury midsize sedan. Despite its sporty looks, the ES is built more for comfort than for speed. This Lexus is a great value for a luxury car, though, and is loaded with user-friendly technology features and upscale materials.
The front-wheel drive Lexus ES 300h is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine combined with a lithium-ion battery pack and two electric motors.
2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid
50 mpg combined
Toyota’s Corolla compact car has almost always been a smart pick, but it’s even better in hybrid form. It presents an excellent value thanks to its fantastic fuel economy ratings and generous list of user-friendly tech features. It’s kind of dull to drive, but at least it doesn’t pretend otherwise.
The Corolla Hybrid uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack to generate a combined 138 horsepower. Unlike some hybrid sedans, it’s available with all-wheel drive, although you’ll need to stick with the base front-wheel drive to achieve its top 50 mpg combined rating.
