Alternative fuel vehicles are not cheap because of a high price tag due to production costs. But there we can still distinguish simple hybrids and luxury hybrids, which make the process of saving the Earth much more interesting and comfortable.
Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
Mileage: 21 miles per gallon
Cost: $73,000
It’s unbelievable – a gas-gluttonous luxury SUV has tempered its appetite and has became 40% more efficient than a traditional Escalade.
Mercedes S400 Hybrid
Mileage: 21 miles per gallon
Cost: $91,850
It’s a good combination of performance, comfort and luxury. Its battery and electric engine are more a substitute turbocharger than a way to power the vehicle at low speeds.
BMW ActiveHybrid 7
Mileage: 20 miles per gallon
Cost: $97,000
The competitor from BMW is even more powerful than its rival from Mercedes. The car features 4.4-liter V8 engine and it’s 18% more fuel efficient than its gas-predecessor i750, but it’s also faster.
Tesla Roadster
Mileage: Not available
Cost: $109,000
Tesla Roadster is an electric car which accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and can drive through 200 miles with a single battery pack.
