Chevrolet Malibu
Despite the fact that the midsize sedan category has been losing popularity over the last few years, the Malibu is a mainstay at Chevrolet. Its hybrid configuration lets you ride in comfort without having to worry about the price of gas. Even the basic version's 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine offers noteworthy fuel economy. For better performance, a 2.0-litre turbo generating 250 horsepower is also available.
