The Best Hybrid Cars for Your Money
April 17, 2014
If you're thinking of purchasing a hybrid in 2014, you certainly won't be alone. With gas prices continuing to rise, many people are considering switching to an alternative fuel vehicle in the hopes of paying less at the pump.
Cars.com recently released a list of 11 hybrid vehicles they consider the best for your money. The list is based on what they call their "efficiency-cost rating" -- the vehicle's EPA combined MPA rating divided by its MSRP plus destination charge, times 1,000.
On the list are the likes of the 2014 Toyota Prius C, 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid, 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid, and 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 740 Li.
Thinking of purchasing a hybrid vehicle? Make sure you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to get the best deal possible on any of these vehicles.
