The words “Hybrid Sedan Comparison” can barely be said without a pained yawn. As Managing Editor Jodi Lai and I discussed the two cars in the office, none of the other AutoGuide.com staff could be bothered to pipe in.

Everyone likes a good rivalry, and there are a lot of these competitive relationships when it comes to cars. Consider the Mustang vs Camaro rivalry, or the F-150 vs Silverado throw down. Or even the Camry vs the Accord.

The Toyota RAV4 is a pioneering compact crossover. It debuted about two decades ago when this nascent segment was little more than a glimmer of the blinding glory it would eventually achieve in the 21st century.

General Motors has a secret new car called the 2016 Chevrolet Volt.

A senior user on AutoGuide.com‘s GM-Volt forum was one of the first people to get the chance to drive the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, and his initial impressions were positive. 

Formerly called the M-Class, Mercedes is introducing its 2016 iteration as the GLE-Class. Along with the new name Mercedes-Benz is giving its luxury SUV new powertrains that focus on fuel efficiency in order to round out what is already solid option in a highly competitive segment.

Several of Honda’s fuel-sipping models are going away.

The seventh-generation Hyundai Sonata is gaining two new variants for the 2016 model year: a hybrid to follow up on the sixth-generation’s hybrid model and a plug-in hybrid that offers even greater efficiency.

One of the new products Mercedes-Benz announced today ahead of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show packs 443 lb-t of torque and a four-cylinder engine.

Each year, WardsAuto evaluates and determines its top 10 best engines and this year, its editors evaluated 37 all-new or improved powertrains before choosing its favorites.

A teaser image posted on Twitter from Chevrolet has given us a strong hint at what the next-generation 2016 Volt will look like. 

Although all vehicles roll off of showroom floors with EPA certified fuel efficiency ratings, as the famous saying goes ‘individual results may vary’.

Toyota – after years of doggedly stating that the Prius hybrid system was not compatible with a plug-in system, and repeatedly warning that lithium-battery-powered plug-in hybrids were too costly and the technology unproven – began delivering the Prius Plug-in Hybrid in March.

Volkswagen, along with other European auto companies, has long proclaimed diesels as a better green strategy than hybridization.

The current edition of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship sedan made its appearance as a 2007 model, and underwent a mild nip and tuck facelift for 2010.

If you’ve decided your next vehicle will be a hybrid but you don’t want one that stands out like the Prius – and also wouldn’t mind increased luxury and fun-to-drive quotient – the 2012 Lexus CT 200h could be the one for you.

Honda says that the 2012 Civic Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient sedan (i.e. not a hatchback) on U.S. roads.

In the past five years, Hyundai has fought a hard battle to improve the quality of its vehicles—which were once viewed as inferior budget-constrained choices. It looks like the South Korean automaker has won. It is now consistently ranking near the top of quality surveys by consumers and auto industry market firms. According to BusinessWeek, Hyundai “has emerged as the fastest growing of the major automakers.”

In June 2009, General Motors announced that it will stop making mild hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Malibu. The elimination of its current mild hybrid technology is one more sign that the company is cutting back on programs and technologies that are expensive and unsuccessful—in the same way that it’s reducing unprofitable brands and dealerships.
