22 Most EPA-Efficient 2015-2016 AWD Cars For Less Than $50000 - Motor Trend

Before the days of tightening emissions standards, getting all-wheel drive in your vehicle usually meant sacrificing fuel economy or moving into an SUV— which meant sacrificing fuel economy. Several cars come with all-wheel drive and have great fuel economy to boot. One of the quickest compact luxury sport sedans on sale today, the BMW 335i xDrive proves that you can have an all-weather driving machine that's fuel efficient. The 335i xDrive sedan won a comparison test that pitted it against the Audi S4, Cadillac ATS 3. 6 AWD, Lexus IS 350 AWD, and Volvo S60 T6 R-Design. Once the face-lifted 2016 3 Series goes on sale, the 335i will be replaced by the more powerful 340i. Despite its modern but conservative looks, the Acura TLX is surprisingly capable when equipped with the brand's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive... When equipped with all-wheel drive, the MKZ is the all-American luxury sedan that can deal with virtually everything that Mother Nature throws its way (an MKZ 3. 7 AWD is pictured). When it's equipped with Quattro all-wheel drive, you have a classy all-around vehicle that excels at nearly everything regardless of the weather. Source: www.motortrend.com
