10 Hybrid Cars With The Worst Fuel Efficiency

A hybrid car is a vehicle that combines an internal combustion engine with one or more electrical motors to increase the output, fuel efficiency, and torque. Certain models rely more on the electrical motor, others prioritize the gas-powered engine, with the rest combining the performance of both. Hybrid cars, such as the Toyota Prius, often utilize features such as regenerative braking to help reclaim some of the power drained throughout the drive.

Other hybrid cars (plug-in hybrids or PHEVs) allow for external charging sources to be used such as wall outlet chargers or quick-chargers that are often seen at refueling stations. These hybrid cars feature a larger hybrid battery which allows you to drive significantly longer without the need of assistance from the gasoline-powered engine. Hybrid cars and PHEV hybrids have been drastically improving over the years, causing their popularity to skyrocket. While the majority of hybrid cars available to you boast incredible fuel efficiency and range, there are certainly some models to think twice about, due to the fuel efficiency being more similar to that of a non-hybrid car.

Utilizing information from Edmunds, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 least fuel-efficient hybrid cars.

10 Ford Fusion Hybrid

42 Combined MPG

2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid driving on street
Ford

Ford introduced its fusion hybrid with the 2010 model lineup, starting out with an MPG of 39. This number eventually rose to 42 with the next generation of Fusion Hybrids, giving it a gain of only a few miles per gallon more than the most fuel-efficient conventional gasoline-powered vehicles on the market.

A plug-in hybrid version of this car was produced, named the Ford Fusion Energi. This car featured the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as the Fusion Hybrid, paired with one electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery. The Fusion Energi has a combined horsepower of 195 with a fully charged battery. You can expect an all-electric range of 22 miles and a combined range of 550 miles from the Energi.

9 Ford C-MAX Hybrid

40 Combined MPG

While featuring a spacious and comfortable interior, the C-MAX Hybrid shares a con with the Fusion Hybrid in that it offers a low MPG rating when compared to other hybrids on the market. At 40 combined MPG, you can find cheaper, standard gasoline-powered cars that offer very similar fuel efficiency such as the 1.2-liter three-cylinder Mitsubishi Mirage.

The C-MAX Hybrid is front-wheel drive and features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a battery pack and two electric motors. The C-MAX is based on the Ford Focus platform, meaning it shares many of the same handling characteristics as the Focus. This car is a bit quicker than its hybrid competitors with a 0 to 60 MPH of 7 seconds, while its fuel efficiency falls behind.

8 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

40 Combined MPG

The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is a front-wheel drive, four-door sedan that seats five. It has great features that come standard such as Blind-Spot Alert and Enhanced Active Park Assist. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with the electric motor makes 188 horsepower, while only getting 40 miles to the gallon. Ford has ceased production on many of their sedans, making this car slightly more viable – although the rated MPG can easily be beaten by other hybrid cars.

Being that this car is a Lincoln, you can expect a luxurious interior, with a backup camera added for your and others’ safety. However, similar to the Ford Fusion Hybrid or C-MAX Hybrid, the MKZ Hybrid has many decent features, while lacking in the category that you’re typically concerned with when driving a hybrid – fuel efficiency.

7 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid

35 Combined MPG

The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid with a full-electric range of 17 miles. The Crosstrek Hybrid uses a flat four-cylinder engine paired with the hybrid system, making 148 horsepower. The higher ground clearance and all-wheel drive system allow for more off-road potential, while the plug-in capabilities allow you to recharge the electric system in around two hours on a 240V charger.

While this car has many great features similar to other Subaru cars such as the spacious interior, the modern assistance systems, and infotainment systems, it follows the same trend as the rest of the cars on the list, which is the fuel efficiency being less than ideal for a hybrid. The price is also a bit higher than you’ll see when compared to other hybrids. With this being said, there are not many other hybrid cars available to you that also focus on off-road capabilities.

6 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid

29 Combined MPG

Unlike most of the other cars listed, the 2008 to 2010 Chevy Malibu hybrid is a mild hybrid, meaning the hybrid system is not able to move the car on its own (not after three MPH at least). The Malibu Hybrid features a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that has 164 horsepower. It features an electric motor, whose main purpose is to start the gasoline engine as well as provide a small boost in power under heavy load conditions. Compared to the standard gasoline-powered Malibu, you’ll only gain a few extra miles per gallon.

With a 0 to 60 of 11 seconds, the Malibu Hybrid doesn’t excel in acceleration either, being slower than the Toyota Prius and Camry hybrids. One good feature of this car, however, is the interior. The Chevy Malibu Hybrid has a spacious interior with two different color options to choose from on the inside of the car. The trunk is not obstructed by batteries, giving you a nice amount of storage room.

5 Saturn Aura Hybrid

26 Combined MPG

The Saturn Aura Hybrid shares the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Chevy Malibu Hybrid. It also features the same powertrain as the Malibu Hybrid, having a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine boosted by a small electric motor. This improves fuel efficiency by four MPG in the city and one MPG on the highway when compared to the standard 2.4-liter non-hybrid Aura.

As you would expect from a car similar to the Malibu Hybrid, the interior is decent and roomy. You may see some cheap-looking pieces here and there, but overall good quality. None of this could matter to you, however, if fuel efficiency is what you’re concerned about. If that does happen to be the case, 26 combined MPG just won’t cut it.

4 BMW ActiveHybrid 5

26 Combined MPG

The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 is a mid-size luxury hybrid sedan that is more concerned with using the hybrid system to aid in acceleration and drivability than saving gas. A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine is paired with an AC synchronous electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack to provide a combined horsepower of 335.

The 8-speed automatic transmission enables a smooth and seamless driving experience, and the performance figures are good too. The fuel efficiency is not, however, with a fuel economy rating of 23 in the city and 34 on the highway. A price of nearly double the more efficient hybrids from brands such as Toyota or Honda defeats the purpose of a car meant to save you money.

3 Mercedes-Benz E400 Hybrid

26 Combined MPG

The Mercedes-Benz E400 Hybrid is another mid-sized luxury sedan powered by a combination of an electric motor with a six-cylinder engine. The E400 Hybrid features a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that has 329 horsepower when combined with the electric motor. The electric motor on the E400 hybrid is able to operate the vehicle up to 22 MPH and is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack.

However, this still puts these cars nearly 30 MPG below the most fuel-efficient gasoline-only cars, and 100 MPG below the most fuel-efficient hybrid, the Toyota Prius Prime SE.

Being in the higher price range of hybrids, the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is by no means a fuel-saver. This car is 25 percent more expensive than the platform that it is based on, the 750. While costing significantly more, there is only a gain of 15 to 17 percent in fuel economy increase when compared to the standard gasoline-powered 4.4-liter turbocharged V-8.

This motor only provides an additional 3 MPG increase compared to the standard gasoline-powered engine but does add 155 pound-feet of torque and an overall power increase of 13 percent.

1 Lexus LS 600h L

20 Combined MPG

Being the least fuel-efficient car on this list, you can expect a car similar to Mercedes’ or BMW’s hybrids. The Lexus LS 600h L features a long-stroke 5.0-liter version of the V-8 seen in the LS460, while also being paired with a 221 horsepower AC electric motor for a combined output rating of 438 horsepower.

Velocity Modern Classics Reimagines The Iconic Chevy K5 Blazer

Summary

  • Velocity’s Signature Series K5 Blazer is a modern classic that combines classic looks with modern chassis and performance. It features a hand-finished interior, 6.2-Liter LT1 V-8 engine, and modern suspension and axles.
  • The interior of the K5 Blazer is cleverly built and uses high-end materials, giving it a vintage feel with all the modern amenities. It has color-matched upholstery, Procar bucket seats, an Alpine audio system, and power windows.
  • The K5 Blazer is as capable as any modern SUV and excels in off-road scenarios. With its powerful V-8 engine, knobby tires, high ground clearance, and off-road features, it outperforms most modern SUVs in terms of capabilities.

Most people who enjoy cars find themselves getting hit with a fist full of nostalgia now and then. It’s just one of those things that enthusiasts can’t escape, no matter how good, expertly engineered, and beautifully designed, a lot of modern vehicles are. The trigger for this nostalgia hit is usually the sighting of a tastefully restored classic car from a bygone era that’s not coming back. If you’ve seen a restored 1960s muscle car on the road recently, you might have experienced it.

There is, however, another segment that started slowly, until it eventually took over the market by storm, and that hits home just like that menacing looking, roaring V-8 muscle car of old. And that is that old-school, box-shaped, 4×4 that happened to be around during the 1960s as well. Models like the Original Jeep Wagoneer or the Ford Bronco come to mind.

Thankfully, this segment was not forgotten by restoration companies that build these gorgeous modern classics. The most recent and exciting example of this is Velocity Modern Classic’s Signature Series K5 Blazer, the latest unveiling of a modern classic that features an elegant hand-finished interior, modern chassis, and that tasty 6.2-Liter LT1 V-8 engine.

Classic Looks, Modern Chassis And Performance

Velocity builds its cars for the modern driver while evoking the feeling of driving a true American classic. Hidden beneath the classic Blazer looks are Dana’s front and rear axles with a 3.73 gear ratio, with sway bars to control and reduce body roll. Velocity’s Roadstershop K5 Chassis also features a four-link suspension and an Atlas two transfer case for off-road incursions. The 6.2-Liter Gen V LT1 powers this modern classic truck from Velocity, giving it more than enough juice for on or off-road trips.

To ensure the V-8 roar is heard clearly, the exhaust is custom-built and features a Magnaflow muffler. When its time to slow the truck down, 11-inch electric assisted Wilwood disc brakes with six pistons up front and four pistons at the back deliver all the needed braking power. The paint job is custom and the truck has a six-point roll cage. A classic safari top is contrasted by powerful LED dome lights. The bumpers and grill receive a shiny chrome finish.

The Interior Also Features Modern Amenities

Once an order is placed, Velocity delivers in 14 weeks. Vertical integration and actually having parts in its inventory make that possible. As you would imagine, these bespoke modern classics don’t come cheap, and the price for the K5 Blazer starts at $339,900. But for that price, you can a package that delivers not only the old-school exterior looks with modern performance, but also an interior that’s cleverly built, hand-finished, and uses high-end materials. The interior looks and feels, up to a point, old school. But despite its vintage looks, all the modern amenities drivers have grown accustomed to are there.

The upholstery, dash pad, carpets, and all else in the interior is color matched just like the GM vehicles of old. The bucket seats are from Procar and are available in either vinyl or custom leather for that vintage, upmarket feel. The front seats are also available with heat or ventilation for added comfort. The audio system is taken care of by an Alpine unit with Apple Carplay that drives the sound through the Focal Audio speakers and subwoofer.

Completing The List Of Amenities Are:

  • Air-conditioning.
  • Bluetooth stereo.
  • Power windows.
  • Velocity exclusive Dakota digital gauges.
  • Ididit tilt steering column.

The Heritage Trim

Velocity

If you want that bespoke two-tone paint along with custom steel wheels and exterior billet components, a Heritage trim is available for inquiry.

The Interior Upgrades For The Heritage Series Are:

  • Italian Leather.
  • Backup Camera.
  • Premium Focal Audio.
  • Exclusive center console.
  • Spark-wrapped steering wheel.
  • Interior billet package.
  • Double Din stereo with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

Since money isn’t an issue when shelling out this amount for what is pretty much an exclusive custom car, the Heritage Trim is the one to go for. This premium top trim looks better inside and out and should be receiving a lot of inquiries on Velocity’s website. The wheels are 18 inches, wrapped in 35 inches Toyo tires.

The Velocity K5 Blazer Significance To The Restoration Company

An exterior shot of the Velocity K5 Blazer
Velocity

The K5 Blazer marks Velocity’s bold step at branching out to other brands. Up until this point, their Signature Series only featured Fords. With a team of engineers that ensures their cars are practical and reliable, not to mention beautiful, CEO Jeremy Hans is proud to make such an offer to the market.

If this pans out well for the company, it will be very interesting to see what future models they will bring back. Velocity is a relatively new company with just over a decade of existence in the market, and judging by their work, there’s no reason to believe they won’t stick around and bring us some new and interesting projects in the future.

The 14-week production timeline is pretty quick for such complex models and shouldn’t steer any potential customers away. In fact, this time frame is guaranteed by Velocity. And by potential customers, we mean people willing and able to pay Bentley prices for unique vehicles that are unquestionably beautiful to look at, but also drive and perform up to par. It’s a prestigious way to pay homage to the American automotive industry, honoring the companies that brought us such iconic cars throughout the past several decades. Just think of all the other brands and models they could be cooking in Florida.

The K5 Blazer Is As Capable As Any Modern SUV Can Be

Expensive as it may be, being inspired by the truest, most rugged 4x4s of the past, and packed with a powerful and versatile powertrain, the Velocity Blazer K5 leaves most modern SUVs in the dust when considering its capabilities, particularly off-road. The strong V-8, big knobby tires, the Atlas two transfer case, combined with a high ground clearance and what looks to be attack and departure angles from the days these 4x4s were meant to do entirely different things from going grocery shopping, it is safe to assume the K5 Blazer would do really well in the toughest of scenarios.

This amalgamation of modern engineering with vintage styling that actually served a purpose may have created the ultimate off-road vehicle. The fact that it is produced on demand and its high price tag makes it, along with the entire Signature Series lineup from Velocity Modern Classics, an exclusive gem that is worthy of praise and that should be cherished, not only for what it physically is but for what it represents and pays homage to.

There is a reason why so many different kinds of motorcycle gear are available on the market. That’s because different gear is meant for different purposes and use cases. For instance, if you intend to use your track gear for an adventure ride, not only will you be the laughingstock among your buddies, but it will be an equally uncomfortable and unpleasant experience while you are riding.

So, the first thing to do is invest in the right kind of gear for yourself. It is better to opt for dual-purpose gear that can take the brunt of camping as well as on-road motorcycle abuse, and at the same time it will help you free up some space by carrying less items. Irrespective of what gear you choose, ensure that it is waterproof if your intention is to be out in the nature under the open sky.

9 Do Not Over Pack

Over packing is the arch-nemesis of motorcycle camping. It is the number one issue that plagues riders across the globe and the only way to up your packing game is through experience. A good place to start is by foreseeing your travel plans and packing accordingly. Generally speaking, heavier clothes like sweaters and pullovers should be avoided and replaced with thin fleece or Merino wool layers and dual-purpose waterproof liners. Another great tip is to invest in some packing cubes to pack all your essentials and help save up space. Remember, it is better to pack less and have a lighter bike and buy a thing or two on the road than to have packed way more, manage an overloaded bike, and having to send things back.

8 Be Mindful Of The Weather

One of the most important things to remember about moto-camping is that you will be under the open sky. So, keep an eye out for the weather forecast and choose an appropriate time to camp. Do not get thrown off by light drizzles as most modern-day tents can usually withstand a good amount of rain.

Another important aspect of camping is to avoid setting up your camp at the wrong time. Avoid pitching your tent too late in the night when the visibility is low as you may not be able to find level ground to pitch the tent. In a situation where you do end up invariably catching yourself in the middle of a rainstorm while you are camping, ensure that you are camped away from tall trees just in case there is lightning.

7 Carry a Fire Starter

One cannot undermine what a bonfire can do to elevate your camping experience. No, a campfire is not only required when it’s cold – instead, it is actually a great idea to light a small bonfire irrespective of the weather, especially if you are wild camping. It helps keep the wild animals away and also ensures a good amount of warmth when it gets chilly late in the night. An important part of this step is to understand which way the wind is blowing so that you can keep the campfire away from your tent. Fire starter kits are relatively inexpensive and waterproof which makes them a great tool for all kinds of moto-campers.

6 Choose Your Camp Spots Wisely

The number one way in which most camping experiences turn bad is when folks do not pick out good campsites. In this day and age, you will find a campground almost everywhere across the country. Some are paid while some are wild campsites which are free, but not every campsite will suit you.

For instance, if you are someone who likes their peace and quiet, setting up camp at a spot where there are tons of trailers and campers might not be the greatest idea. Hence, choosing your camp spot carefully is an extremely important step. Having a well-laid-out physical map of an area is a great way to understand the camp sites on your route. Butler maps are one of the most renowned maps for this very purpose.

5 Plan Well

This is a universal motorcycling tip for anyone who is planning to venture out on an adventure of any sort. But more specifically, when it comes to motorcycle camping, it becomes an even more important part of your pre-ride ritual. Planning well is not only related to your route or your destination, it also extends to planning appropriately so that you are able to take care of your motorcycle as well on your journey. Adding to this, you should also be mindful of the weather, rest stops and grocery stores on the way. Because motorcycle camping in itself is based on the concept of being self-reliant, and you cannot take the risk of poor planning when it comes to camping miles away from any help.

4 Choose the Camping Equipment That Suits You

Everything from tents to sleeping bags to sleeping mattresses to water bottles and even fuel canisters comes in a number of shapes and sizes. That is because there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to camping. Some people choose to carry hefty equipment because they have the luxury of four wheels with them.

Being a motorcycle rider, you have to be mindful of the weight you are carrying at the back of the bike. This means you will have to opt for lightweight gear that suits you the best. In case you are traveling with a pillion or a group of other riders, having a multi-person tent setup can be beneficial as well. So before investing in any kind of campaign equipment, it’s best to know what kind of camping you are intending to do in the first place.

3 Watch Out For The Signs

This tip extends both ways – metaphorically and literally. Metaphorically, you need to be vigilant and keep an eye out for any signs of trouble on your moto-camping adventure. This can vary from sudden weather changes to finding yourself in a no-signal area or even running into a motorcycle issue that could have been sorted out earlier.

As for literally, you also need to keep an eye out for the road signs around you. While camping, it is the signs that will help you understand what kind of area you are in. For instance, if you are in a bear territory, there will be signs suggesting the same. Or let’s say if you are in a paid camping area, you will have to be mindful to look out for signs like that.

2 Know Your Motorcycle

One of the most important tips for motorcycle camping is to have an in-depth understanding of your motorcycle itself. It’s simple – you are most likely to be far away from the luxury of mechanics and convenience stores. So in the likelihood that you run into motorcycle trouble, you should be capable enough of fixing it on your own. At the very least you should be able to create a temporary fix until you can get your bike to the nearest town. For this, you need to be aware of how to go about fixing the small issues on your motorcycle. It’s easier to fix such issues on small lightweight ADVs and dual sports compared to the hefty premium adventure motorcycles.

1 It Is A Learning Curve

Honda

Most importantly, the number one tip for motorcycle camping is to remember that this whole experience is a learning curve. It is not something that you will ace overnight or with one ride around town. The more you delve deep into the world of motorcycle camping, the more diverse your skillset will become. With time, this will also enable you to do your own DIY hacks to enhance your camping experience. Remember, you cannot train for an adventure unless you really get into one. So, keep your expectations on the low and be ready to learn with the flow.
