Top 10 Safest, Most Fuel Efficient Cars

1. 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Topping the list is the Ford Fusion hybrid. Although it has the same 47-MPG combined rating as the Honda Accord, it ranks higher on the list because of its lower price tag. The Ford Fusion hybrid starts at $27,095 and offers slightly more performance than the Accord hybrid with 129 lb-ft of torque, though it also has 141 hp. The powertrain is the same as the Lincoln MKZ hybrid, a 2.0-liter Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder setup.

Of course there’s also the Ford Fusion Energi, which is a plug-in hybrid that we mentioned earlier. That variant is good for a 100-MPGe combined rating while the standard gasoline-powered Fusion gets a 25-MPG city, 37-MPG highway rating.
