Methodology: for each nameplate we take the best EPA combined rating among all rated engine/transmission versions of the model year ("up to"); segments follow EPA size classes. Heavy-duty trucks (over 8,500 lbs GVWR) are not EPA-rated and are excluded. Every listed model links to its VehiSales hub with live listings, market prices and reliability data where available.
