The defining figure is 28 MPG combined. That blends the 26 MPG city rating with 31 MPG on the highway. City driving gives the lower number; steady highway travel gives the higher one.

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $2,950. That figure applies to gasoline use based on the vehicle’s official fuel-economy ratings. Tailpipe emissions are rated at 317 grams of CO2 per mile.

Trade-offs

Its 28 MPG combined rating gives a clear everyday baseline, with better economy on the highway than in town.
