It is powered by a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine combined with two electric motors, producing a total of 138 horsepower to drive the front wheels.

All-wheel drive is available as an option; however, be aware that it reduces fuel economy by 2 mpg in the city and on the highway.

  • 45 mpg city, 38 mpg highway

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine and three electric motors that generate a combined 196 horsepower. This power is channeled through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to an all-wheel drive system. This configuration yields an EPA-rated 45 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. In terms of performance, Car and Driver tests show that the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid goes from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds.

Toyota Crown Signia

  •  42 mpg city, 41 mpg highway

The standard powertrain of the Crown is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine combined with three electric motors, producing a total of 236 horsepower. This power is sent through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to all four wheels. With an impressive fuel economy of 42 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, the Crown is a standout in the full-size car category. Those who want more power and fewer mpg will be interested in the Platinum trim, which has a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine and a Hybrid MAX setup that increases the Crown's horsepower to 340 and replaces the CVT with a six-speed automatic transmission. However, fuel economy with the Hybrid MAX is reduced to 29 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, knocking the 340-horsepower Crown out of the top five. According to Car and Driver, the Toyota Crown takes 7.2 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with the standard powertrain and 5.1 seconds with the Hybrid MAX.
