The company sells it with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit and a 3.6-liter V6. Based on General Motors rear-wheel drive Alpha platform, many regard the ATS to be the segment leader for driving dynamics.
Closely following the Cadillac, Meredes-Benz’ CLA 250 also drew significant interest this week. The front-drive based vehicle is now available at dealers with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
Honda’s 2014 Civic came in third place. The Japanese giant made fast changes again for the 2014 model year by offering the vehicle with a continuously-variable transmission in order to ensure its popular compact car remains competitive.
Speaking of transmissions, the nine-speed automatic in the Jeep Cherokee is worth mentioning. It is ment to help the crossover manage up to 31 mpg on the highway with the base 2.4-liter four cylinder engine and without being witthed with an all-wheel drive setup.
But it saving gas is really a priority, the fifth vehicle on this list is tough to beat. Toyota’s city-friendly Prius C offers 50 mpg on average between city and highway driving.
