For this reason, consumers are not willing to spend extra money on purchasing an efficient car that might take several years to pay back the premium. Fortunately, there are hybrid cars that offer the best value.

Only the Toyota Prius has better sales compared to RAV4 in this hybrid car segment. This crossover vehicle has a range of approximately 33 miles per gallon. This is much higher than the Limited Model’s 25 miles per gallon. In the hybrid model, there is no compromising on the traction. The premium, which is around $700, can be paid back within two or less years.

Ford’s Fusion Hybrid Titanium

The price difference between these two versions is less than $200.
