Mid-Size Sedan Hybrid
2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid
|
Hybrid sedans are no longer an anomaly. With strong competitors from Toyota, Ford, and Nissan, buyers have a choice when looking to combine the functionality of mid-size sedans with the environmental benefits of a hybrid. The third place Nissan Altima Hybrid and second place Ford Fusion Hybrid scored well with strong fuel economy and low depreciation. However, the Toyota Camry Hybrid did even better, winning Vincentric’s Best Value in America award for 2011 on the strength of the lowest fixed costs in the segment.
