Editors' Choices for Green Drivers
![]() |
Chevrolet Malibu (2010) Starting MSRP $22,715 Who says midsize family cars can't be fuel efficient? Get the optional six-speed automatic in Chevy's well-received Malibu sedan, and the car is EPA-rated at 26 mpg combined. That's impressive and better than both the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord with automatics. Research this car Build this car ![]() |

Ford Escape Hybrid (2010) Starting MSRP $29,785 The notion of a hybrid SUV seemed preposterous at first, but Ford proved it could be done. The Escape Hybrid, based on Ford's popular compact SUV, gets an EPA-rated 32 mpg combined with two-wheel drive. Four-wheel-drive models get a combined 29 mpg — not too shabby, either.

Ford Fusion Hybrid (2010) Starting MSRP $27,625 The Fusion Hybrid's gas/electric four-cylinder gets an EPA-rated 39 mpg in combined driving — better than the Toyota Camry Hybrid's 34 mpg rating. That's outstanding for a midsize family car that can comfortably seat four. Who knew eco-friendly could be so easy? Research this car Build this car ![]() |

Honda Fit (2010) Starting MSRP $14,900 The Fit earns its credentials through size and thrift. There's no gas/electric drivetrain here, though Honda has announced plans to build a Fit Hybrid. That's not to diminish from this car, which marries go-kart handling with a combined EPA rating of up to 31 mpg. Research this car Build this car ![]() |

Lexus RX 450h (2010) Starting MSRP $42,685 The RX 450h's slew of high-tech features improves upon the outgoing RX 400h's, and it gets up to 30 mpg in combined EPA ratings. From ventilated seats to an EV mode that maximizes electric-only cruising, we bet you'll really enjoy keeping up with those tree-hugging Joneses. Research this car Build this car ![]() |

Toyota Avalon (2010) Starting MSRP $27,945 The Avalon offers a roomy cabin, comfortable ride and blend-in styling — perfect for some. Less known is its fuel efficiency. At an EPA-rated 19/28 mpg city/highway, this Toyota packs thrift you wouldn't expect for a V-6 sedan that's longer, bumper to bumper, than a Ford Explorer. Research this car Build this car ![]() |

Volkswagen Jetta TDI (2010) Starting MSRP $22,660 Volkswagen is vigorously campaigning to divorce "diesel" from "dirty" — and for good reason: Low-sulfur diesel fuel and stringent emissions systems make today's diesel cars worlds cleaner than their predecessors. The TDI's beefy diesel four-cylinder gets 42 mpg highway, easily making it the green car for driving enthusiasts. Research this car Build this car ![]() |
