Clean, unadulterated performance from diesel technology
#4. BMW’s 335d is this country’s most fuel-efficient luxury sport
sedan.
When it comes to top-rated fuel-efficiency from currently-available
mass-market passenger cars, there’s no topping the Toyota Prius. But
that car, like its corporate cousin the Lexus HS 250h, doesn’t exactly
deliver the driving excitement one would expect from a BMW. Another
Lexus, the GS 450h hybrid, is an impressive ride in its own right, but
doesn’t match the 335d’s fuel economy figures, and specs for the
upcoming Mercedes-Benz E350 Bluetec have not been officially announced.
In terms of luxury sport sedans available in the U.S., the
diesel-powered Bimmer is top-dog on the miles-per-gallon front.
