Luxury class
The main difference between luxury cars and the middle class is the increased level of comfort and stylish appearance.

- 6.5 liters in "mixed";

The sedan deservedly entered our rating. With a power of 180 hp, which is produced by a 2-liter turbocharged engine together with a manual gearbox, the car is very economical. But car maintenance can be expensive. Although if money is not a problem for the owner, then this feature should not be paid attention to.
Hybrid cars
Cars in this category are equipped with two power plants. Their electric motors can reduce the level of air pollution and significantly reduce fuel consumption, which makes it possible to classify this subspecies as economical models.

This four-wheel drive car is equipped with a petrol engine (462 hp), which in combination with the quick start mode, which both motors are equipped with, the car can reach a speed of "one hundred" in just some 4.6 seconds.
But the installed electric motor added 320 kg to the weight of the car, and the trunk volume was also reduced by 95 liters, which is important to consider when buying. This is not a drawback, especially considering the ease of steering with the rear pivot axle, which the Porsche Panamera possesses.

Now there are many hybrid cars, but the Toyota Prius has not lost its ground.
