We tested an all-wheel-drive model with the turbo three-cylinder and managed an impressive 35 mpg during our 75-mph highway fuel economy route. It's rated for 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined adding all-wheel drive drops those numbers to 26 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined.
