See how the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid, and Lexus UX 300h stack up in fuel economy. Official EPA and real-world L/100 km data.
The Toyota Prius Hybrid delivers an average fuel economy of about 4 liters per 100 kilometers in combined driving. This figure is backed by official EPA data and aligns with independent road tests. It's widely regarded as one of the most reliable hybrids on the market.
The Honda Civic Hybrid achieves roughly 4.8 L/100 km in combined city and highway driving. These numbers come from Honda and were later corroborated by Edmunds' testers. Its strong reliability record makes it a compelling used-car choice even years after its debut.
Depending on the trim, the Honda Accord Hybrid uses between 5.0 and 5.3 L/100 km. Independent road tests returned slightly higher figures, but still under the 6.0 L/100 km threshold. Owners praise it as a dependable, fuel-efficient alternative to conventional gas engines.
The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid averages around 5.6 L/100 km. While the EPA rates it a bit higher, real-world driving often beats those estimates. It's the most affordable hybrid crossover in Toyota's lineup.
The Lexus UX 300h carries an official rating of about 5.5 L/100 km. In practice, it often performs even better, surpassing EPA expectations. This entry-level luxury model stands out for its reliability and build quality.
