The Toyota Prius C gets 53 mpg from it's 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engine that produces 73 hp. The electric motor puts out an impressive 60 hp, but only has a range of 1 mile at 25mph in all electric mode.



2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS


New Chevy Cars

The Sonic RS has a 1.4L turbo engine, kicking out 138-horsepower. While constructed with a fuel efficient engine the Sonic RS is built more for speed and performance not necessarily to be fuel efficient. Hot hatch enthusiasts from all over should not be put off in the least but rather thrilled to be behind the wheel of this new offering from Chevrolet.
