Fuel efficiency

variable transmission (CVT) up to 10-speed automatic. The only limiting factor may be your budget.
Driving a sedan
The different types of sedan models include front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The lighter weight of sedans allows them to accelerate quickly and brake even faster. Handling response is quick, the ride is smooth and the car is quiet. As an added bonus, fuel consumption in sedans is often quite low.
