If you are on your way to purchasing a new car, don’t forget to make sure reliability is one of the top credentials when making your decision. Although it is true that today, with mass consumerism and the investment in ‘trendy-ness’ being a top priority – more and more people are getting a new car every few years, however, we recommend still considering cars as an investment. You may have thought that it would be difficult to find a car that can go beyond even 250,000 miles, but we managed to find plenty of capable vehicles, and we even put together a list of 50 models that have been reported to achieve that very feat! Keep reading to find out which cars could answer your needs as well as be a great investment!
Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester was made with greatness in mind, and as soon as it was released it got its impressive reputation as a result of the wide variety of engines and its celebrated 4WD system. The naturally aspirated engines are known to have reached, and gone beyond, 250,000 miles. It goes without saying though that proper maintenance plays a big part in this. Many people have lost faith in Subaru as a manufacturer due to the failures of the in-car technology of the Legacy and Outback models.
Subaru Forester
VW Passat
The Volkswagen Passat is still one of the most popular models in Europe, which is undoubtedly due to its’ functionality and reliability, qualities that most people around the world hold dear. There have been quite a number of versions of this model, but the older models are just as good as the latest. The VW diesel engines are known to be great, and the recent 1.8 Turbo engine continues the legacy of reliability and durability of the older ones.
VW Passat
Lexus RX350/450h
If you are looking for a car that can really go the distance and more then you may want to look into this very capable Lexus RX350/450h. This Lexus model is available in both, quality gas and hybrid variants, that make sure you get a reliable car either way. Although not cheap, it is both gorgeously sleep and sophisticated while also reliable and an easy ride, and the added bonus of the option to be eco-friendly.
Lexus RX350/450h
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is the car for you if you are looking for a compact crossover with a super-reliable engine. The older models are also very reliable with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines and quite a few other useful features. If you are looking for something a bit more flashy then maybe this car looks a bit too plain for you, but we guarantee that this car can reach six figures on the clock without any problems.
Honda CR-V
Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is one of those cars that barely needs an introduction anymore, given how spectacularly popular it is, and it really has been one of the top picks for those looking for a reliable vehicle. Actually, durability and endurance are qualities that many Toyota models can be proud of, and right now, you will find it hard to find a more reliable car than the Toyota Camry. However, the list of advantages isn’t much longer than that.
Toyota Camry
Toyota 4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner is your best bet if you are looking for a car that can be used for off-road pursuits. Just looking at its tank-like design is enough to inspire a hardy confidence. This compact SUV is the top choice for many 4×4 enthusiasts, and for good reason! The 4Runner has the engine that such a job calls for, as well as a great number of off-road capabilities, and despite all the abuse it may face off-road it will maintain the force you need.
Toyota 4Runner
Lincoln Town Car
The Lincoln Town Car has the same platform as two other models such as the Ford Crown Victoria, however, the Lincoln is much more luxurious than the Crown Victoria. However, that also means that the Lincoln Town Car is also more expensive than the Crown Victoria. If you have the spare cash for these frilly comforts, then by all means, go crazy! The car has a 4.6-L V8 engine and has not changed much, for good or for worse, since it was released 13 years ago.
Lincoln Town Car
Nissan Titan XD
The Cummins diesel engines made an impression with their notable reliability and durability, and the Nissan Titan XD comes with these qualities as well. From industrial sites to family vacations, the Titan’s name was not lightly awarded. The 5.6-L V8 petrol engine allows for this car to run for miles without a hitch. But if you want to be certain, and go with something that has been tried and tested, then you might want to go with the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel.
Nissan Titan XD
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
Even if you are not a follower of automobile news, you are probably aware of the Chevy-Ford rivalry, and the two are currently competing for top place in the performance car segment, and the two are currently tied in terms of market shares in the US. Chevrolet has a high number of trucks that can match the Fords. For example, the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is a durable and reliable truck that will keep on impressing. As with the F-250 Super Duty, this model’s mileage will go up to six figures easy!
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
Honda Odyssey
If you are looking for a mode of transport for the whole family then this is the automobile for you! The Honda Odyssey’s 3.5-L V6 engine guarantees that you will get your 200,000 miles. We won’t blame you if you are not a big fan of the design on this one, but its’ impressive features make it a very attractive vehicle. The wear-resistant engine of the minivan also goes with a wear-resistant transmission, and if you are looking at getting a minivan then this is definitely worth considering.
Honda Odyssey
Acura RDX
Next up is probably one of the most reliable crossover SUVs on the market. The Acura RDX powertrain holds up very well, with its impressive V6 engine with 3.5 liters and 279 horsepower. This is one of those cars that if you look after it well it should have no problem clocking over the 250,000-mile mark. It also comes with the standard 6-speed automatic transmission which ensures the impressive mileage. The Acura will take you far in more ways than one!
Acura RDX
Chevrolet Impala
The Chevrolet Impala is a dream car for many, being one of the most reliable cars on the North American market it has been built to suit all your needs, so you shouldn’t be surprised that it will cover at least 250,000 miles. The Impala has a standard ECOTEC 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine, but it is also possible to get an upgrade should you so wish. There is the option of getting the 3-liter DOHC V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 305 horsepower.
Chevrolet Impala
Toyota Corolla
If we are writing about reliable and robust cars then the Toyota Corolla is definitely an authority on the matter. The models from around 1989 might just be one of the most robust cars ever created, and it may have something to do with its excellent engine selection. It really does not matter if you choose the American, European, or JMD version, as they will all be worth the money. Uber drivers adore this car!
Toyota Corolla
Honda Pilot
Just a quick look at the market and you will see for yourself that not all luxurious SUVs are worth the money in terms of reliability and durability. Thankfully, the Honda Pilot does not fall into that category, there are even first-generation Pilots that are still demonstrating impressive mileage, and Honda has promised that the new version will be just as reliable, so we just have to wait and see if that promise checks out.
Honda Pilot
Audi Allroad
The Audi Allroad is pretty similar to the VW Passat which we already discussed at length. Both of these models are resilient and also able to achieve impressive mileage as long as you make sure you give the car good maintenance regularly. Other than its sleekness and style, what makes the Audi Allroad so special is that it also has a number of engine choices that make it an even more appealing choice for your wheels.
Audi Allroad
Scion xB
From what we hear, the Scion seems to be one of those makes that are often a Love or Hate situation; but whichever camp you fall into, the Scion xB is undeniably a seriously good car! So whatever your views on the brand are (even if you are a hater), this car is a seriously reliable one. According to customer feedback, it will go up to 250,000 miles quite easily as long as you take proper care of it.
Scion xB
Nissan Patrol
The Nissan Patrol and the Toyota Land Cruiser can be compared in many ways. Both cars appear to be basically indestructible (don’t take us literally on that!), and they both have pretty sweet off-road capabilities and incredible build quality too. If you want something that can handle the demanding nature of a range of intense environments, these are two excellent choices. However, the Nissan Patrol is not to be mistaken for the regular SUV; the Nissan Patrol was created with the most difficult terrains in mind, and boy can it conquer them!
Nissan Patrol
GMC Sierra 2500HD
If you are looking at the market for a heavy-duty truck, you may be considering Ford or Chevy which are two of the biggest names in that field. But we encourage you to check out and consider the GMC Sierra 2500HD too! Even though the brand is not as famous as the other two, it has a solid presence in the market for good reason. The excellent engines make this particular model a great choice is you are looking to move and tow heavy loads.
GMC Sierra 2500HD
Mazda 6
Hmm, how shall we describe the Mazda 6 for you…? If you think about the reliability of the Camry, and then add to that an even better performance than the Camry, with a good heavy dose of sleek style, and soon you will probably begin to get this luxury sedan. It might sound like we are in love with this car, which might not be a false accusation! It most certainly delivers on the performance and reliability fronts, something that is sadly not necessarily obvious in the market nowadays.
Mazda 6
Toyota Tacoma
The Toyota Tacoma is definitely worth considering, for a number of reasons. It has fantastic off-road abilities, as well as off-road gear and payload capacities, as well as rugged good looks. However, it still doesn’t quite meet its competitors in the segment. The fuel economy is only so-so as well as the interior being not particularly roomy. If the Tacoma is equipped with the right gear, its towing capacity can reach an impressive 6800 lb, and if you are looking for adventures then you may enjoy the ability to add appearance upgrades as well as heavy-duty suspension.
Toyota Tacoma
Ford F-250 Super Duty
Feast your eyes on this monster! Will you just look at that insanely high suspension? The F-250 Super Duty gets compared to the F-150 a lot. But despite the similarities between the two Ford models, the F-250 is larger as well as has the better towing capacity. Made with heavy-duty use in mind (hence the name), the trucks are well-equipped to reach high mileage, so it should reach a mileage of 25,000 without any problems.
Ford F-250 Super Duty
Toyota Sequoia
Toyota is extremely trustworthy when it comes to producing SUVs that are both rough and reliable, and the Sequoia is no different. It has a 6-speed automatic transmission which is paired perfectly to its 5.7-liter V8 engine. It will survive times of neglect as well as extreme driving conditions, and if you keep it well maintained, it should have no difficulties covering 250,000 miles and more. The only drawback we can think of is that its fuel consumption is not great.
Toyota Sequoia
Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
The Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD is a heavy-duty truck that has been well tried and tested, and is very popular with its target audience, which just so happens to be the type of person that loves to adventure. To get the best out of it we recommend opting for the Duramax® 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V8 engine, which will guarantee you a coverage of 250,000 miles plus! Having said that, the base model’s standard Vortec® 6.0L petrol V8 engine can also comfortably cover thousands of miles.
Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla have many things in common. The Honda Civic was created as a ‘no-frills’ kind of car, without any kind of pretentious promises, and it remains so today. It has a serious reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency, helping you get wherever you need to be on time. Always a safe option, the Civic has also attracted customers from all over the world with its combined reliability and potential for customization and quality engines.
Honda Civic
Ford F-150
If you are looking for a hard-working automobile then you don’t need to look any further! The Ford F-150 is also dubbed ‘America’s workhorse’, earning the nickname for its high reliability, you can see the F-150 in countless small businesses and ranches across the US as it has long been considered the default truck for getting the job done! Look after it well, and it will have no problems hitting 250,000 miles and getting many jobs done in the process.
Ford F-150
Chevrolet Equinox
The Chevrolet Equinox is hard to beat, with its quiet and practical cabin and its well-tuned framework. There are three options for buyers in relation to turbo fours. You can choose from the 170 hp 1.5-L and the 137 hp 1.6-L diesel engines which go well with a six-speed transmission on automatic, but it is also possible to get the 252 hp 2.0-L with a nine-speed instead. The interior boasts of a 7-inch infotainment interface (with an option for 8-inches) with options for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are also active safety features which include the emergency braking and automated lane-keeping assist mechanisms, making this model even more attractive.
Chevrolet Equinox
Saab 9000
Now here we have a true blast from the past. It is a great shame that the Saab 9000is no longer in production because it was an excellent example of what the Swedish automotive could do. It had a great run though, with its production lasting from 1984 to 1998. Although it may not have been the prettiest car model, it was definitely a reliable one, with a good engine lineup and was equipped with the Tipo Quattro platform by Fiat.
Saab 9000
Toyota Land Cruiser
When discussing quality off-road vehicles, you can’t mention the Toyota Land Cruiser. The model is very popular, although not quite as much in the United States, in Australia it is considered one of the best vehicles possible. If you know anything about Australia, then you know that it is one of the most rugged and challenging sets of environments in a country. It has a quality tank-like build, an excellent AWD system, and an impressive 4.2-liter diesel engine.
Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is a successful car model which always comes up when talking about hybrids. The Prius earned its spot on the list for its high marks on reliability, which is largely to do with its fantastic hybrid engine, making the model almost as good as a Camry. However, if you are on a budget this might not be a great deal for you, as although the engine will stay in good shape for a very long time, you may have to replace the battery pack a number of times.
Toyota Prius
VW Golf 4 TDI
The Volkswagen Golf 4 comes with 1.9-L TDI engines, an engine that still comes in at top place when it comes to VW engines, and the diesel units are largely flexible as well as robust simultaneously. These cars have no problem clocking high mileage and will run smoothly throughout. One of the TDI’s standout features is just how silent its diesel engine is. The interior is actually quite spacious and comfortable, too, and can definitely handle the needs of a family.
VW Golf 4 TDI
Toyota Sienna
In terms of minivans, the Toyota Sienna ranks top in terms of reliability. It has been designed to go the distance and does so well, so it clearly deserves a place on our list. It is extremely well-made, with a fabulous 4WD system. It isn’t all that often you hear such high praise of minivans, so if you are looking for one don’t forget about the Sienna. If your family loves going on lengthy road trips and holidays, then the Sienna is still a highly reliable getaway machine.
Toyota Sienna
Toyota Highlander
The Toyota Highlander has seen a number of updates since its original design, mostly to do with the expansion of the cabin, as well as a number of other additions too. Throughout its development, the manufacturers made sure it stayed as reliable as it was before. The few main problems that the Highlander has reportedly experience involve its air conditioning system and power tailgate. Further, if cargo capacity if a big concern for you, then you should consider the Honda Pilot.
Toyota Highlander
Ford Taurus
If you are willing to put in some work on your car, you could get a good deal with the Ford Taurus. Regular upkeep of the car will help it cover more than 250,000 miles happily. To get the absolute best performance with this car, as well as improve its durability, get the 288 hp 3.5-L V6 engine. The 2020 MY Ford Taurus took the model’s already impressive practicality and safety to new levels as it was redesigned from the ground up.
Ford Taurus
Subaru Legacy
This car can proudly boast of its boxer engines which have a solid reputation for enduring difficult terrain and weather. If you want a car that can easily cover 250,000 miles, we highly recommend the Subaru Legacy. It has an all-wheel drive, and you can choose between a 2.5-L engine or a 3.6-L one that will be paired to the Lineartronic® CVT transmission. The car has comfortable seats, a luxuriously lofty cabin that is constructed with quality materials, as well as a simple infotainment system.
Subaru Legacy
Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra is a great car that would probably rank higher on our list if it weren’t for the great number of similar cars on the market. Compared to its many competitors, the Elantra has more room in its trunk, as well as a spacious and well-built cabin, comfortable seats, active safety mechanisms, and quality tech features. If you are looking for a fancier car you could also go for the Elantra GT; with its hatchback style, even more, cargo space, and increased power base engine, it is the highest rating in its class.
Hyundai Elantra
Jeep Wrangler
At first, you may think that this Wrangler is identical to the old version, but on closer inspection, you will see all the work the designers and engineers put in to give it that modern twist while staying true to the iconic profile of the Jeep. The 2019 model might have experienced some steering-related issues, with occasional power steering loss having been reported, but the car is otherwise incredibly dependable, if you do not mind a low MPG.
Jeep Wrangler
Ford Crown Victoria
The Ford Crown Victoria. also known as the “Crown Vic”, will be instantly recognized by any police officer (or person that spent some time in the back of one). It is probably one of the most well-known police cruisers in the world. It is also one of the most reliable. It isn’t hard to find a Crown Victoria that has surpassed the 250,000-mile mark, as there are indeed so many that have reached and passed the 500,000-mile mark!
Ford Crown Victoria
Dodge Ram Cummins
We are grateful that Dodge and Cummins collaborated after they saw how much they could both gain from working together because the result was this impressive, top-selling truck. The more recent Dodge and Ram models are equipped with Cummins engines, which are notable for their reliability, of which you can choose from two variants: the 5.9-L turbocharged inline 6 and the updated 6.70-L version, both of which provide plenty of torque, a lot of horsepowers, and all-round amazing performance.
Dodge Ram Cummins
Mercedes-Benz E Class W124
What is cool about this car is that the Mercedes Benz W124 E Class took the original diesel engines of the W123 and improved them. It became a very successful model, noted for being the most reliable and durable Mercedes model yet. It is common enough to cover 250,000 miles with this model, but you need to make sure to take good care of it to get there easily. This high maintenance might be a turn-off for some people.
Mercedes-Benz E Class W124
Jeep Grand Cherokee
In terms of off-road experience offered, this vehicle is the crown king of all mid-size SUVs. It makes a big difference when things are created with a specific intention in mind, and the 2016 models were made for specifically the reasons the Jeep was created and is known for. You could opt for the 295 hp 3.6-L V-6 with an eight-speed automatic and the rear-drive standard, or you could go with 240 hp turbo-diesel V-6 or 360 hp 5.7-L V-8 instead, depending on what best suits your lifestyle. The Grand Cherokee also has touch screen infotainment and optional Wi-Fi.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Mazda MX-5
Despite the fact that the Mazda Miata MX-5 is a beautifully nifty sports car, if you take proper care of it the mileage should be fine. No reason to doubt it; just remember that it has a 2.0-liter Skyactiv inline-four engine, which is why the owners of an MX-5 need to carry out maintenance regularly. The good thing is that its general upkeep is cheaper than a lot of other cars in the same category.
Mazda MX-5
Nissan Altima
The capable Nissan Altima offers two engine choices: either a 270 hp 3.5-L V-a6 or a 182 hp 2.5-L inline-four. Whatever you pay for, it will have a CVT. It is roomy with a comfortable cabin, as well as having noteworthy features such as a paddle shifter, stiffer suspension tuning, and unique wheels, as well as advanced safety measures such as rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking; a lot of which you wouldn’t normally get for free with a regular-to-mid size vehicle.
Nissan Altima
BMW 5 Series E39
Sadly, the BMW 5 Series E39 did not age so well. Produced from 1995 to 2004, the vehicle demonstrates the innovative German manufacturing we have come to know and admire, at least during this time. The many developments in the automobile in general since then have made the BMW 5 Series E39 rather dated. Still, a well looked after E39 can cover a lot more than 250,000 miles, and the BMW’s inline-six engines have continuously impressed the public with their performance and reliability.
BMW 5 Series E39
Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu is a fabulous family car, as well as a great choice for personal use, with an attractively styled sheet metal and a sturdy front end. All the materials used and the design overall all come together for a classy finish, and inside is spacious with plenty of legroom in the backspace. There is a 160-hp turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood, but if you’d rather you could also decide to go for the 250-hp turbo 2.0-liter four instead. The engines are accompanied by a six-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive.
Chevrolet Malibu
Ford Explorer
If you are looking for an SUV with an upmarket interior, top-of-the-line features, seats for seven people, and sturdy mechanics, then look no further than the Ford Explorer. The base model comes with a 290 hp V-6 engine and a front-wheel drive, but there is also an option of an all-wheel-drive too. The other models come with a 365 hp twin-turbo V-6 and 280 hp turbo-four. Overall the Explorer supplies a smooth ride with a spacious cabin which seems larger than it actually is.
Ford Explorer
Toyota RAV4
Reliability is a key feature in achieving bestseller status, and that is true for the Toyota RAV4. The fourth-generation version is basically as reliable as the older versions. The XA40 RAV40 can happily take you 250,000 miles and more too, but of course, you’d have to maintain it regularly and not burden it too much if you want the best possible results. In terms of engines, you could either get a diesel one or a petrol one, and both come with automatic transmission. This car is no doubt a solid purchase.
Toyota RAV4
Mercedes-Benz W123
For those who are luxury car fans, you would probably wish you were around when the Mercedes-Benz automobiles’ upkeep didn’t cost a fortune. In those days, the German car manufacturer was making some of the most reliable and sturdy cars available. Apparently, there used to be an awarding of badges and certificates for reaching mileage markers, and the most significant badge they gave out was for reaching one million miles! We are certain that these badges were rarely handed out.
Mercedes-Benz W123
Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback belongs to the Legacy station wagons made by Subaru, however, it is different because it is a crossover utility vehicle that rides on a somewhat raised suspension so it can get more ground clearance. This is quite a rare quality in this brand! The Legacy configuration is so popular that Subaru only offer this version of the wagon. The Outback is an extremely reliable car, and will get you wherever you need to go whatever the terrain.
Subaru Outback
Toyota Tundra
The advanced technology installed in the Toyota Tundra makes this modern full-size truck seem more like a luxury yacht made for land. Lightweight materials have been used to make it, and it is installed with advanced technology. Even though it is a little dated, it still makes it to the top of the list of cars in the same category. The Tundra is for you if you don’t mind not having the modern style or top-of-the-range technological features but are looking for a capable, trustworthy car that is also spacious and affordable.
Toyota Tundra
Ford Focus ST
The Ford Focus ST seems to have it all! Seriously, take some time to appreciate this beauty’s full features. Fuel-efficient, powerful, and with a sporty look, the car also has a great 252 hp 2-liter 4-cylinder engine which can go from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds! It also has a 6-speed manual transmission and unbelievably good handling. In the city, the Ford Focus ST can reach 23 miles per gallon and 32 miles per gallon on the highway.
Ford Focus ST
Hyundai Veloster Turbo
The Hyundai Veloster Turbo is thought to be one of the best small hatchbacks available. It has keyless access with a push-button, the front seats are heated (for those that live in chilly areas, or love the cozy comfort that this feature brings), and beautiful leather upholstery. It has a crazy 201 hp turbocharged engine, and its mileage of 24 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway is not bad at all.
Hyundai Veloster Turbo
2015 Mini Cooper
Even though it was redesigned in 2015, the Mini Cooper is as popular as it ever was – which is very. The compact car is sporty and fun and its fuel efficiency is good. If you buy a 2015 Mini you can choose between a 134 hp turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and a 189 hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and its mileage is 30 mpg in the city and 42 on the highway. You probably still see lots of these cars on the road.
2015 Mini Cooper
Porsche Cayman
It won’t shock anyone to hear about a stylish and fast car coming from Porsche, but it may come as a surprise that you could get one that is also environmentally friendly! The Porsche Cayman has a track-friendly mid-engine setup and a dual-clutch PDK transmission. We think that the German nickname for the Cayman, “the poor man’s Porsche”, is simply not fair, even if it is the lowest volume car for Porsche in the majority of markets.
Porsche Cayman
Scion FR-S
The FR-S is different from the standard box-shaped Scions, with a more coupe-like exterior. It is a 2-door sports car, with a 4-people seating capacity, a 2-L four-cylinder engine, and a low center of gravity. Its mileage is 22 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. You might be surprised to learn that this two-door coupe possesses four seats! Indeed, the Scion FR-S is deceptively spacious. The front seats in particular will take care of your lateral support.
Scion FR-S
Subaru WRX
The Subaru WRX got a makeover which led to its very sporty appearance. All part of the standard package, the car comes with automatic climate control, Bluetooth capability, a backup camera, and 17-inch alloy wheels. It also has an impressive 268 hp 2.0-L 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Other than that, its mileage is 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Basically, the WRX has everything that one would need to enter the modern world of driving comfort, accessibility, and reliability, with a decent suspension to boot!
Subaru WRX
Volkswagen GTI
This sporty hatchback model offers either 3-door or a 5-door option. The engine in the Volkswagen GTI is a 210 hp 2.0-L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and it has equally impressive mileage at 25 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Many people are under the impression that “GTI” is short for “Gran Turismo Inezione”, which is wrong. The real meaning of GTI is “Grand Touring Injection”. Speed freaks adore the GTI for its incredible speed at high RPM.
Volkswagen GTI
Honda Insight
The Honda Insight is a very worthy contender for those looking for good fuel economy, and in that regard, as well as others, it did better than the Toyota Prius. It will provide for a comfortable ride, with a spacious backseat, and secure handling. The safety systems on the automobile come with automatic emergency braking as well as forward-collision warning. However, if you need a good blind-spot warning system then you will need to get an upgrade.
Honda Insight
Hyundai Ioniq
The Toyota Prius needs to watch its back because there is a new contender on the block! The Hyundai Ioniq is a hybrid, meaning it is capable of running on electrical power, with a similar body to the Prius, and very impressive mileage at 52 mpg, and the 1.6-L 4-cylinder engine will give you 139 hp. One can generally recognize a hybrid car due to the vehicle type’s iconic curved design. We love hybrids and cannot wait to see their future unfold.
Hyundai Ioniq
Kia Niro
Next on our list is this extremely versatile Kia Niro SUV, a hybrid with great fuel economy and a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. But our favorite thing about it is possibly the lithium-ion battery under the back seat which creates a flat cargo floor when folded. All that, as well as 43 mpg which is pretty impressive for its size. This subcompact gas-electric crossover took inspiration from the timeless Toyota Prius, and as in the case of the Prius Prime, comes in the form of a plug-in hybrid and hybrid.
Kia Niro
Toyota Avalon
The Toyota Avalon is the shining star of the Japanese car manufacturer. It has a spacious cabin and features that are easy to use. Its’ impressive 3.5-L V6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission contribute to it being a very pleasant ride too, as well as seriously impressive mileage at 42 mpg. Many people have debated whether the Camry or Avalon is more preferable when it comes to accommodating families. If you want the most comfort and room out of the two, then the Avalon is undoubtedly the best option.
Toyota Avalon
Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris boasts one of the best fuel economy ratings by far, its’ mileage ratings are impressive too, there is automatic emergency braking, low-speed forward collision warning, and a 7-inch touch screen. The Yaris is an incredibly reliable vehicle. One leading car review website revealed that only 10.5% of its subscribers that own a Yaris suffered a single or several faults during their initial year of usage. For some reason, the Yaris sold poorly in India.
Toyota Yaris
2018 Jaguar XE
This Jag combines things that people doubted were possible before it came along! It has luxury features, decent fuel economy, and all at an affordable price! Add to that the 32 mpg in the city and 42 mpg on the highway, and your laughing! The XE is highly regarded by many different British auto review sites, having won the “Best Compact Executive Car” award over at Auto Express between 2015 and 2017. It has such a sleek design which is beaten only by the even sleeker handling.
2018 Jaguar XE
2018 Chevrolet Cruze
The Chevy Cruze has a six-speed manual transmission and a turbo-diesel engine, along with mileage of 30 mpg in the city, all of which would have been factored into its 8.4 out of 10 rating it received from the U.S. News. The Cruze has a phenomenally compact design and is incredibly practical. It features an incredible gas mileage and its predicted reliability rating is respectable. It is also fitted with all of Chevrolet’s technological bells and whistles.
2018 Chevrolet Cruze
2018 Lincoln MKZ
The Lincoln MKZ is a hybrid powertrain that has integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It is a luxury car which makes it pretty expensive, however, it still has a lower price than similar cars. This comfortable vehicle is not just more affordable than its counterparts, it also comes with an incredibly reasonable series of projected ownership costs. That being said, it does lack much of the opulence that other cars in this range feature when it comes to interior design.
2018 Lincoln MKZ
2018 Kia Optima
The Kia Optima’s appearance could be called mediocre at best, however, its appearance is compensated for by the fact that it is a particularly smooth ride, it has quality construction, and a comfy interior. It managed to pass its safety tests with flying colors, resulting in amazing safety scores. Its seats are ideal for mature drivers and its many different standard features make for a diverse and engaging driving experience. It also holds its value impressively with little depreciation over three years.

2018 Honda Clarity
If you are looking for a plug-in hybrid electric car, then you should definitely look into the Honda Clarity. It can go as far as 47 miles on electric power before its 212 hp gas engine turns on. There is automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and Honda’s LaneWatch camera. Pretty cool! That being said, many people found the infotainment system too distracting, and its passing power is nothing to rave about. Sometimes, less is more when it comes to infotainment!

Audi Q3
This sophisticated and capable crossover SUV is equipped with top-level technology. It is possible to pay for a Quattro® all-wheel drive, but even without that, the Audi Q3 agility will make it easy to explore the city or weave around back roads. The cabin materials within the Audi Q3 are highly rated, with many reviewers considering them to be the best. If you find that Audi’s SUV range is too costly on average, the Q3 is an excellent compromise.

Mercedes A35
The Mercedes-AMG A35 4MATIC is just such a cool model. There are design elements that we love which are specific to AMG, definitely separating the model from the others. You could even go with the option of getting multi-spoke 19-inch side skirts and rims. Yup, definitely cool! The A35 is considered to be more of a dependable car than a fun one, as it will get you through winding roads in a safe and dependable manner, rather than a sporty one.
