2013 Lexus Hybrid vs 2008 MINI Cooper S MPG Mashup Challenge & Review

So which car do you think gets better fuel economy: A tiny 5-year-old MINI Cooper S convertible or a big brand new all-wheel-drive Lexus Hybrid RX Crossover?

We decided to find out by by mashing up a MINI Cooper S convertible with a brand new Lexus RX 450h Hybrid in a MPG challenge and review to see which of these two vehicles is the most fuel in real world testing and driving.

The tiny MINI is supercharged, it has a 6 speed manual transmission and it will seat 4 adults in a pinch. The much larger and heavier Lexus has a much bigger and powerful 6 cylinder engine paired with electric motors, batteries, all-wheel-drive, a CVT and  much more room and utility.

Which one of these vehicle sips less gasoline.  Find out by watching this video.
