fisker karma 1 Fisker Karma gets 67mpg SAE Rating

Just to revive your memory, Fisker Karma is the plug-in hybrid sedan from Fisker Automotive which was fist showcased at the Laguna Seca during the Pebble Beach Concours. At that point the fuel efficiency figures of the luxury plug-in hybrid were not available but now the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) do have the results for us. As per the SAE rating the Fisker Karma manages 67 miles per gallon which is pretty impressive.

The numbers look even better when you consider that the sedan churns 403 horsepower and sprints 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds. As far as the emissions are concerned the Karma is pretty neat, emitting 83 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The high efficiency numbers will not be a possibility when you intend to run the car on a performance mode, therefore a lot depends on your preferences as far as the efficiency is concerned.

Fisker’s Karma is powered by a hybrid 2-liter, 4 cylinder engine along with 22.6 kWh Li-Ion battery which gives it enough power to race from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds.
