Top 10 Cheapest 40 MPG Cars

6. Ford C-Max Hybrid $25,995

The Ford C-Max is the perfect hybrid for those who like the Fusion Hybrid, but need more cargo and passenger space. Fortunately, the C-Max is also cheaper than the Fusion. While it doesn’t have the same great looks as the sedan it does use the same powertrain and still manages a solid 47 mpg combined on the EPA cycle, which is not bad at all considering the C-Max is available at just under $26,000. We have a review of the C-Max Hybrid, where we found it to be more enjoyable to drive than the Prius v. If you’re interested in the C-Max Hybrid, get all the details at our new car buying page.
