The Most Fuel Efficient Sedans

When it comes to finding the right method of transportation for any given person, there are a lot of items to consider: cost, reliability, safety, style, and one of the most pressing matters for the average driver today–fuel economy. Owning a vehicle comes with a great deal of responsibility. Aside from the maintenance and monthly insurance premiums that are a necessity, the amount of money that it takes to keep your vehicle on the road is a very important factor. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle and looking for a car dealership near Raleigh, NC, that offers the most fuel-efficient sedans on the market, look no further than Hendrick Automotive Group. We’ve done the research, and these vehicles will save you the most at the pump.

2023 Toyota Prius Prime

It’s impossible to have any conversation about fuel-efficient sedans without mentioning the Toyota Prius Prime. Quite possibly the most well-known of the hybrid vehicles on the market, the Prius is one of Toyota’s flagship vehicles that has gained a reputation for its impressive fuel economy. The 2023 edition of the Prius Prime demonstrated a knack for bringing horsepower to the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), with 220 under the hood—about 100 more than the previous version. The good news is that this upgrade in performance didn't come close to hindering the vehicle’s fuel economy. Using a combination of gas and electric power, it has an EPA rating of 127 MPG. An electric-only range of 39 miles makes the short trips around town quick and without the need for gas. As if this winning combination of performance and economy wasn't enough, the vehicle also provides plenty of standard tech features to appeal to the average driver. It comes with six USB-C ports to connect a host of devices and adaptive cruise control, one of the most sought-after features in the industry.

2020 Kia Optima PHEV

Few brands have transcended their old reputation more than Kia. Once dismissed as nothing more than a value car, Kia has gone on to provide drivers with vehicles that are not only backed by one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry but also have a knack for being safe, sustainable, and fuel-efficient. And while 2020 was a tumultuous year for many, Kia didn’t slow down in terms of providing vehicles that were ideally suited for the thrifty consumer. The 2020 Kia Optima PHEV is a masterpiece of merging performance with PHEV capability. It has an EPA combined mileage rating of 101 MPG and an electric-only driving range of 28 miles, making the vehicle perfect for short trips around town. On average, drivers have a full range of 630 miles after a fill-up, making trips to the pump less frequent and their driving experience thoroughly enjoyable. A five-star safety rating in collision testing conducted by the NHTSA also attests to Kia’s penchant for producing safe vehicles.

2022 Honda Insight

2022 was the final year of production for the Honda Insight. If you’re able to find a used one, you’ll quickly see that it’s deeply missed, especially by those who want to get the most out of their fuel economy. 55 MPG in the city and 49 on the highway surpasses most other vehicles, even those that have been manufactured since the Insight ceased its run. When it comes to vehicles that provide a wealth of attractive features in one convenient package, the Insight has more than enough to give. Not only does the vehicle have a sophisticated interior that combines user-friendly controls with a discernable level of sophistication, but it also comes standard with some of the best safety features. Adaptive cruise control and forward collision alert were both standard, and an NHTSA five-star safety rating speaks to the level of quality that Honda placed into their design. This is a model worth searching out.

2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

The Hyundai Sonata has a reputation for being an economical vehicle, which is rather impressive considering its vehicle class as a full-sized sedan. And while the Elantra is certainly Hyundai’s flagship product that gets discussed the most, the 2023 Sonata is a gem. Powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 192 hp in conjunction with a six-speed automatic transmission, the Sonata is a thrifty choice that allows consumers to save plenty on fuel costs. According to the testing conducted by the EPA, the 2022 Sonata Hybrid offers 50 MPG in the city and 54 on the highway for a combined total average of 52. Considering the vehicle’s 13-gallon tank, this means that fill-ups will be infrequent, and going the distance will cost much less than the average vehicle. The interior of the vehicle is well suited for any driver, with an emphasis being placed on its user-friendly setup and intuitive infotainment screen. A full-sized sedan that offers this much savings on fuel? What’s not to love?

2023 Volvo S60 T8

Any conversation about fuel-efficient vehicles generally centers on the United States, Japan, and Germany. And yet, it would be short-sighted to dismiss Volvo's accomplishments and continued efforts in fuel efficiency. The Swedish manufacturer is continually manufacturing vehicles that set a standard for both safety and style, and the 2023 S60 is no exception to this. The speed luxury sedan offers a wide array of safety features such as forward collision alert, blind-spot monitoring, and automated emergency braking, but perhaps its most impressive attribute is its fuel economy. Offering drivers 40 miles of electric-only driving and the ability to save thousands of dollars on fuel costs over a five-year period, you have a PHEV that’s far more sophisticated than most of the current options on the market. Aside from the remarkable efficiency in fuel consumption of Volvo’s PHEV sedan, it also features a lavish interior that compliments its sleek design. Its infotainment screen, which resembles a tablet, elevates the feel of the interior, and intuitive voice assistance doesn't just put you into the lap of luxury but provides a ride that’s futuristic in its feel for a driving experience unlike any other.
