Most Fuel-Efficient Midsize Cars in 2026

If you are comparing current gasoline midsize cars for fuel economy, use the EPA mpg figures to weigh options across different models and configurations. The entries are organized by mpg, and variants such as hybrid and plug-in hybrid appear alongside other gas-powered midsize cars. Examples include the 2026 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Blue, 2025 Toyota Prius AWD and 2026 Toyota Camry HEV FF LE. Compare the exact model and configuration, not just the nameplate, and consider the available range and running-cost details as well as mpg when those figures are relevant to your decision. That makes it easier to focus your search on the tradeoffs that matter to you.
