In the last couple of years, one has witnessed increased awareness about the pollution caused in the environment owing to vehicle emissions. That is why many people today prefer owning eco-friendly vehicles. Even governments of many countries are encouraging their citizens to buy eco-friendly cars or cause minimal damage to the environment.

Here are the most eco-friendly cars that you must check out.

Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
With a fuel efficiency of 46 mpg, the Malibu is one of the most eco-friendly cars out there. The hybrid version of this car boasts a 1.5kWh lithium-ion battery, which consists of 80 cells. The mileage it provides is much higher than the kind provided by the non-hybrid version. On just battery power, the car can move at a speed of 55 mph. For higher speeds or for longer drives, you can switch to the gasoline engine. The 2019 version is priced slightly higher than the internal-combustion model, which comes with only a gasoline engine.

Honda Accord Hybrid
The Accord has been one of the most sought after cars in the country. Its hybrid version manages to extract some more fuel efficiency than the most eco-friendly non-hybrid Honda Accord. The 2019 model earns an extra mile per gallon in comparison to the 2018 model and is definitely the most fuel-efficient car in this class. The Honda Accord Hybrid is priced at around $25,000, which is roughly $2,000 higher than what the cost of the lowest priced non-hybrid version is.

Toyota Prius Two Eco
There is no other model of the Toyota Prius that scores as well in the fuel-efficiency aspect as the Two Eco. At around $25,000, it is slightly expensive than a regular Prius, but clocks in a distance of around 4 miles more to the gallon. Toyota has also designed the Prius Prime that can cover a distance of 25 miles on just battery power.

BYD e6
There are a handful of Chinese cars that would make it to any list of most eco-friendly cars, and the BYD e6 is oneof them. On a fully-charged battery, it can cover a distance of 187 miles. It takes around five hours to charge the lithium-ion battery. It makes perfect sense for BYD to come out with a fuel-efficient car like this, as the company is known to produce batteries for electric cars along with manufacturing and marketing electric buses.
