Many folks remain baffled by the very notion of a hybrid luxury car, but there's proven demand. More of these seeming contradictions join the market all the time, including some truly efficient ones. Some would argue the compact Acura ILX Hybrid isn't exceptionally luxurious, but it carries the highest efficiency-cost rating of any luxury vehicle at 1.28. This edges out the 2013 Lexus CT 200h, which is rated 1.27. Despite a 42 mpg combined EPA estimate, the Lexus is priced higher.
