Every year for several decades. The price of gasoline is rising even more, partly due to the financial crisis. Thus, the operation of the car is becoming more and more expensive and many drivers think that it is time to get behind the wheel of a more economical car. The rating was compiled in order to assess the vehicle market with least expense fuel - both conventional, with internal combustion engines, and hybrid, which in addition have an electric motor.
Efficiency is one of the main parameters when choosing a car
Obviously, buying a car is the first of a long line. In the long term, it is the fuel that will become main reason waste of the budget. Many engineering companies, seeing the demand for economical carscreated models that consume the least amount of mixture. In the production of such machines, they use the following principles:
- Reduced body weight;
- Improving the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle;
- Increased efficiency and increased power density of the engine;
- Decrease in engine volume;
- Reducing horsepower in quantity;
- Reduced rolling resistance while driving. Due to the permissible deformation of the tire, when traveling, 30% more energy can be consumed, which the engine releases.
The introduction of a set of such measures allows you to get extremely low consumption. An example of this is the Peugeot 308 BlueHDI 120, which consumes only 3.1 liters per 100 km.
It is also interesting that the most economical in terms of energy consumption emit the least amount of harmful waste into the atmosphere. This is explained by the fact that they create less exhaust in general, and also, as a rule, have a more perfect engine mechanism.
Of course, engine efficiency directly affects driving performance car. It becomes less maneuverable in comparison with analogues, and also often rises in price.
Ranking of the ten most economical gasoline and diesel cars of 2015
ICE cars are classic vehicles. Not every driver can refuse this system, even if owning a hybrid car is more economical.
The top ten is opened by a modification of the famous MINI Cooper. This version differs primarily in that it has a lower engine power. The horsepower figure fell by 20 points - to 94. Anyway, MINI develops 100 km / h in 11 seconds, which is a good indicator for an urban compact. The car consumes approximately 3.4 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. The emission of carbon dioxide into the air is about 87 g / km.
Compact French hatchback with an original appearance - his windshield takes up a small part of the roof. Available with different engines. So, the most powerful of them received a volume of 1.6 liters and 110 liters. from. The basic cabin is equipped only with basic functions, so it is advisable to purchase a more expensive package. The consumption of the most economical engine is 3.4 liters per 100 km. The emission index of harmful substances is 87 g / km.
The model is equipped with diesel and gasoline units. The most powerful of all has a volume of 1.6 liters, and the most economical is the 1.4-liter, which consumes 3.4 liters per 100 km, emitting no more than 87 grams of carbon. Despite the interesting and pleasant design of the body, the inside of the car is rather modest equipment - users do not consider it comfortable.
A similar brand name is Opel. The car has long been known to drivers seeking to save money. The 1.3 liter engine saves on fuel while providing good traction. Car enthusiasts note that the model behaves well on the road - a sensitive control system and a moderately soft suspension.
The Econetic package is the most attractive of the entire line, as it is equipped with an Ecoboost engine.

The machine does not require expensive maintenance, while having spacious salon, excellent safety and decent power. Consumes up to 3.1 liters of fuel per 100 km.
TOP 10 most economical hybrids of 2015
Hybrid cars, despite the forecasts made long ago by experts, have not yet supplanted classic cars - their market share is only a few percent. One way or another, they can be safely called economical vehicles, because electricity is very cheap, and most hybrids have a driving mode in which only the electric motor is active.
The top ten is opened by a car with a fuel consumption of 3.3 liters per 100 km. Equipped with gasoline unit 75 liters. from. and an electric motor. The total power of the machine is equivalent to 100 hp. from. ICE is activated only when dialing high speedtherefore the vehicle is excellent for economical travel on tight roads. Also has an environmentally friendly indicator of hazardous waste emission - 75 g / km.
The hybrid is made in the corporate style of Porsche - a sloping roof, high front fenders, characteristic headlights. It differs from the rest of the concern's products primarily by the presence of an electric motor. Electric energy is enough for 36 kilometers. As for the gasoline engine, it consumes 3.1 liters per 100 kilometers.
This car is very different from its relatives. It belongs to the class of roadsters. The total power of the model is 887 horsepower, 608 of which are generated by a gasoline engine and the rest by two electric ones. Excellent dynamic characteristics provide acceleration to hundreds in 2.8 seconds. This is partly achieved by the active aerodynamics system, with which the body shape can be manually adjusted. The car consumes approximately 3.3 liters per 100 km. The model has the highest value among all Porsche products.
The hybrid consumes only 2.5 liters of the mixture per 100 kilometers. In this case, the emission of substances is not more than 49 g / km. Multistage automatic transmission gear provides responsive handling and excellent dynamics. In a car with a low rolling friction index, which is a kind of disadvantage - they make an unpleasant noise at speeds of 125 km / h.
One charge of the car's electric motor is enough for a journey of 18 km. The total power of the power units is equivalent to 134 "horses". The model consumes about 2.1 liters of fuel per 100 km. This line is the most widespread in the entire hybrid car market.
Instead of a gearbox, the car is driven by a gearbox. The fuel engine consumes 1.9 liters of the mixture per 100 km, but all its energy is spent on charging the electric motor, which provides traction.
The hybrid combines three important qualities for the car of the future - excellent driving performance, economical fuel consumption, etc. The car accelerates to 125 km / h only on an electric motor, after which the internal combustion engine is used, allowing it to pick up a speed of 230 km / h. It also has four-wheel drive. The engine consumes 1.8 liters of fuel per 100 km.
The A3 classic car range has the widest choice complete sets, which cannot be said about the hybrid. So, E-Tron is five-door hatchback, which is equipped with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive transmission. The car consumes about 1.6 liters of fuel per 100 km.
Almost silent when driving, the car can cover 60 km on an electric motor charge. The internal combustion engine has a consumption of 1.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Opel, who own the brand, said that driving on electricity is about 5 times more economical than using fuel, but the demand from motorists was small. Thus, Ampera is a discontinued product.
1st place among the most economical hybrids of 2015. The car is affordable not only in terms of spending on purchase and operation, but also in terms of management - it has an extremely simple control system and a minimum of functionality so as not to alienate newcomers. Now the car is at the concept stage - the Germans will have to modify the noisy engine and rigid suspension. Spends 0.9 liters per 100 km.
Conclusion
In today's financial environment, savings are of paramount importance. There are many low fuel consumption vehicles that will appeal to both classic and hybrid lovers. It should be noted that now owning a hybrid in Russia is a difficult task, since there are almost no charging stations.

Fuel economy is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a new car. Even when they fall, they will not be like this forever.
Many cars that are available today offer impressive fuel economy, especially when compared to cars of yesteryear. Below we take a look at the most fuel efficient cars.
The Insight is our leader among the most fuel efficient cars that do not need to be plugged in, thanks to its 4.3 liters per 100 km., Which is better than the Toyota Prius. Based on the Civic sedan, the Insight has the same strengths and weak sides... The ride is comfortable, handling is safe but casual, and the rear seat is relatively roomy.
But Insight suffers from a very low position that makes it difficult to get in and out. The driver's seat is short on the lower back, and controls, including a fussy, awkward gear shifter. When the gasoline engine reaches high revs, it needs more power and sounds very loud.
In our tests, the Prius delivered 4.3 liters. 100 km, which is one of the best mileage indicators for a car that does not need to be connected to the network. In addition, the car copes with its duties and drives comfortably. Colorful digital gauges dominate the dashboard with abundant fuel economy information. This is one of the most economical diesel cars.
The car can be driven solely on electricity, usually up to 40 km. per hour, but the engine starts to make noise when it turns on. In addition, tire noise is noticeable and the low position of the car makes it even more noisy. The 2019 Prius has optional all-wheel drive, mild styling updates, and new trim.
Toyota Prius Prime
Prime is the successor to the Prius and has often topped the list of the top 10 most fuel efficient cars. A gasoline engine is also used. It takes 2 hours to charge the Prime through the 240 volt jack, while the regular 120 volt takes 5 hours. When not in EV mode, the Prime operates just like a regular Prius, alternating between electric and fuel power, consuming 4.7L / 100km.
The Accord is available with a choice of two turbocharged four-cylinder engines. It is a constant participant in the ratings of the most economical cars. The base version is a new 192-horsepower 1.5-liter powertrain mated to a continuously variable transmission, a combination that's mostly unobtrusive and provides ample power. The top-tier 2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 252 hp. from. and a sleek 10-speed automatic transmission, but features a non-intuitive push-button gear selector.
The hybrid gets an impressive 5 l / 100 km. altogether without sacrificing acceleration or trunk space. New panel Instrumentation is a big improvement and includes knobs for adjusting and adjusting volume. The handling is responsive and the ride is comfortable.
Toyota Camry Hybrid
Camry has a stylish appearance compared to previous versions, as well as slightly more nimble handling. It is often referred to as the most fuel efficient car in the world. But it is still a comfortable, quiet car and is considered one of the mid-size cars. The lower position makes access a little more difficult and the rear seat is smaller than some competitors. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers good horsepower and an impressive 13.6 hp. 100 km.
A 3.5-liter V6 is also available. Both are mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The very humble LE hybrid gets 5 hp. 100 km. without any casualties in the trunk.
This smaller, less expensive alternative to the regular Prius feels like a subcompact with a hybrid drivetrain. After all, buyers get what they pay for, and this is no substitute for a real Prius. The C has a harsh ride, noisy engine and slow acceleration. The interior looks cheap, the driving position and rear seats are cramped, and there is little cargo space.
But its 6.4 liters. 100 km. in city driving makes the Prius C one of the most fuel efficient vehicles we've tested, and it performs less than the previous generation Prius hatchback. Its tiny size makes it natural for city driving.
Toyota Avalon
Toyota's flagship Avalon has many differences from previous versionswhich make it an enjoyable big car. The 3.5-liter V6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission provide smooth, reliable acceleration. The hybrid version has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that consumes 5.6 liters. 100 km, which is impressive for such a large sedan.
Ride comfort is excellent; that's more than most Lexus brands and models. The cabin is quiet and luxurious, especially with limited trim. The handling is responsive and safe, but the car's low stance hinders easy access. The infotainment system includes a touchscreen that is easy to use. This is the first Toyota to offer Apple CarPlay.
Lexus RX has an avant-garde exterior design and many advanced safety features. Its 3.5-liter V6 engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission providing ample power and a commendable 10.7 hp. 100 km. The economical hybrid gets a superb 8.2 liters. 100 km.
Honda hr-v
Based on the Fit subcompact, Honda hr-v gets a versatile, load-friendly rear seat that rises or falls on a flat, low surface. Power comes from a 141-horsepower four-cylinder engine, driving either the front or all four wheels. Strengths include its excellent total consumption of 8.2 liters. 100 km., a very flexible interior, and a generous rear seat and cargo space.
Automakers usually offer (ie: SR, LX, Limited, Sport, Premium, etc.). Various trim elements can add accessories such as an all-wheel-drive system, leather upholstery and even small design touches.
The Crosstrek is an attractive option for buyers who don't need much space like a compact SUV. Compared to the previous generation, it saves fuel, improves comfort and reduces interior noise. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is mated to the gearbox. Its 8.2 liters. 100 km. pretty modest for an AWD car.
Subaru forester
This popular small SUV combines roomy salon, excellent visibility, commendable fuel economy, easy handling, comfortable ride and responsive handling. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine combined with the continuously variable automatic transmission produced a total of 8.3 liters. per 100 km., which is one of the best indicators in its class.
Mazda CX-3
Representing Mazda in the segment small crossovers provides flexible and fun handling; solid and meaningful feeling; and good fuel economy. The ride is stable, but does a good job of absorbing shock, although noise levels can be high. The CX-3 is available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and the only powertrain is a 146-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and six-speed automatic. It is economical but not too much powerful enginewhich consumes 12 liters. 100 km.
This car gets 6.4 liters. 100 km. in the city and 5.5 liters. on the road. This easily makes him one of the most available cars in production. It also retails for just over $ 14,000. The car is not powerful and nimble enough, but if fuel economy is what you really care about, you may not care about such things.
Honda fit
If you're in a city, you can expect 7.1k per 100km, which is not bad. On the highway, you can get a whopping 6 liters. 100 km, putting it alongside some of the most fuel efficient cars on the list. It is relative small carso you won't have a lot of free space, but this may not be a problem if you plan to use the car mainly for short trips.
Honda civic
The great thing about this car is that it has been completely redesigned. As a result, it has become more sporty, roomy and has more power... This is a clear improvement on a car that was already pretty decent. The current version allows you to enjoy driving long distances with a fuel consumption of approximately 5.6 liters. 100 km. Even in the city, you can get about 7.4 liters. This makes it one of the most popular options because it is economical without being overly cramped.
This is a car that has undergone a number of transformations in recent years. As a result, it has become consistently better, more reliable and. Enjoy 7.4 liters. 100 km. in the city and 5.9 liters when driving on the highway.
Toyota Yaris
This is one of the smallest vehicles on our list. This is a four-door compact sedanbut it's very small. Most people who buy a car are either looking for something as a new car or trying to downsize it so they don't have to spend as much on travel expenses. You can get up to 5.9 liters. 100 km. on the open road, as well as 6 liters. 100 km. in the city, which is about the same as what you get with the big Hyundai Elantra.
Mas MotorsLeading car manufacturers are very flexible in responding to the whims of the global oil market. The constant rise in the price of energy carriers, as well as the gradual reduction of their reserves, lead to the fact that modern models there is a reduction in fuel consumption. Ecologists also support this idea very actively. As a result, new versions of hybrid power plants appear every year, which are considered to be a kind of intermediate link between electric vehicles and traditional versions of cars. In this article we will tell you about the most economical and. It should be noted that in the ranking of ten models, only cars with hybrid or fuel engines are presented, excluding electric cars.
Daewoo matiz
A model opens the list, which in our country and around the world is especially popular among students and housewives - Daewoo matiz... It is equipped with a 0.8-liter gasoline engine with 51 horsepower. The average for a car is 6.8 liters, however, depending on the driving style of the driver, this figure may vary. The use of far from the most powerful power unit here negatively affected the dynamics, because in order to reach the 100 km / h mark, this car takes as much as 15 seconds. Be that as it may, Korean engineers did not create it for high-speed driving, so the model takes its rightful place in the "Economical" category.
Chery Bonus
In ninth place in the ranking is a representative of the Chinese auto industry - the Chery Bonus model. It appeared on the domestic market in 2011. Under the hood, a 109-horsepower 1.5-liter engine is installed, created by Chinese engineers together with representatives of the AVL company. Almost the only advantage of the model, most experts called the small size of fuel consumption, which is 6.2 liters for every “hundred” of run in the combined cycle. In the dynamics of acceleration, the model lost even to the previous representative of the rating. Moreover, the car is quite clumsy. As of the beginning of sales, its cost in the showrooms of Russian dealers was approximately 336 thousand rubles. Be that as it may, the demand for this inexpensive city car did not meet the expectations of the developers. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 2014 its deliveries to our country stopped.
Audi A1 Sportback
The next in the order of decreasing fuel consumption was the car. For every 100 kilometers, it needs an average of 5.6 liters of gasoline. The car is equipped with a 122-horsepower 1.4-liter power unit. Despite the modest fuel consumption, the model boasts solid dynamics, as it takes 9 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h. On the domestic market, the buyer is offered modifications equipped mechanical box gears in six steps or 7-speed "automatic".
Not everyone city \u200b\u200bclass cars "Economy" are distinguished by their exquisite design. This fact has nothing to do with the Audi A1 Sportback. German designers have well thought out both its interior. In the appearance of the car, a spectacular radiator grille, smooth bumpers and optics are striking. All this gives the model originality and style.
Smart ForTwo
The next one with excellent efficiency is the Smart ForTwo, which consumes an average of 5.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on the combined cycle. IN standard configuration under the hood of this kid is installed power unit a volume of 0.9 liters in 88 horsepower. The model is designed for a driver and one passenger. Moreover, it cannot boast of a roomy trunk, and therefore there is no need to talk about its practicality. On the other hand, a high degree of economy and maneuverability makes this machine excellent option for getting around the city. It should be noted that modifications with more powerful engines are also available on the domestic market.
Peugeot 107
Peugeot 107 is in the sixth position in the “most economical” rating. In the combined cycle, the model consumes about five liters of fuel for every “hundred”. The interior is decorated with high-quality materials that are pleasant to the touch. At the same time, like many other representatives of this French manufacturing company, the car has rather modest dimensions, so drivers and passengers, even of an average configuration, are not very comfortable inside for a long time. The size is also not impressive here. luggage compartment, the volume of which is only 130 liters. In other words, for long-distance travel, this is not the best option. In addition, a rather high cost is considered another disadvantage of the model. Thus, almost the only advantage that the Peugeot 107 can boast of is the size of its fuel consumption.
Skoda Fabia TDI Greenline II
Currently, the designers of the world famous Czech company Skoda are actively working to reduce the fuel consumption of their cars. One of their latest developments is the second generation Fabia TDI Greenline, which is equipped with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 70 horsepower. For every 100 kilometers the car needs 4.5 liters of fuel. Thanks to the turbine, the model is very nimble and maneuverable. However, Czech engineers call their main achievement a significant reduction in the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The model was produced in the period from 2007 to 2014, after which it was slightly updated. However, the key innovations concerned mainly its design.
Peugeot 208
The Peugeot 208 e-HDi 70 EGC version became another representative of the French automotive industry in the Most Economical rating. Under the hood of this model, the developers have placed a 1.4-liter diesel power unit with 68 "horses". The motor is equipped with a turbine, due to which a decent driving dynamics is achieved. Do not forget about small ones. Every hundred kilometers a car requires an average of 4 liters of fuel. According to French designers, the model was designed for driving mainly on city streets. Given this fact, it is not surprising that its maximum speed is limited to 165 km / h.
Lexus CT200h
The Lexus CT200h model, which was first presented to the general public in 2010 during Geneva Motor Show, closes the top three in the Economy category. It should be noted that the novelty became the first C-class hatchback in the history of this manufacturer. The machine is powered by a 1.8 liter motor and an electric motor alternating current... The total power of the power plant is 136 horsepower. It was thanks to the use of hybrid technologies that the developers managed to achieve low fuel consumption, amounting to only 3.8 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle per 100 kilometers. The car looks very modern and stylish. Aggressiveness external appearance gives a strict optics and a massive radiator grille. In the interior of the novelty, every little thing is well thought out, which will please even a demanding car enthusiast. The model has not yet been supplied to the domestic market. As for its cost in Europe, here it starts at around 27 thousand euros.
Toyota Prius Plug In
Almost the most on the planet is the Toyota Prius Plug In. The model is another member of the hybrid family and won the silver medal in the ranking. The representative of the Japanese automotive industry is equipped with a hybrid 1.8-liter engine, maximum power which is 134 horsepower. The average fuel consumption is 2.1 liters per "hundred". Despite this, the model boasts decent dynamics, as it accelerates to 100 km / h in 11 seconds. The machine is also equipped with an electrical installation that can be charged even through a regular household socket. In this case, the range of the battery is 1200 kilometers. The maximum possible speed of the model is 180 km / h.
Volvo V60 Plug In Hybrid
As shown by numerous studies, as of today, in terms of efficiency, this is the Volvo V60 Plug In Hybrid. The model is comfortable and practical. Moreover, it is in no way inferior in technical characteristics to its diesel and gasoline counterparts. The machine is equipped with a 2.4-liter diesel engine power of 215 horsepower, as well as an electrical installation for 68 "horses". For every 100 kilometers, the model requires only 1.9 liters of fuel. The maximum possible speed of the Volvo V60 Plug In Hybrid is 230 km / h, and it takes about 6.1 seconds to accelerate to 100 km / h. Due to only one electric motor, the car is able to overcome 50 kilometers. It is charged by means of an ordinary household outlet.
The design of the car as a whole corresponds to the concept of the entire model range of the manufacturer. Along with this, the appearance has its own characteristics. First of all, this is the fact that the model has two filling necks (for diesel fuel and recharging, respectively, from the back and front). In addition, in order to lighten weight and reduce drag, the developers have provided a number of aerodynamic elements on the body. The luggage compartment volume is 430 liters, but when the rear seats are folded, this figure increases threefold. Quality materials have been used in the interior decoration. The control panel is simple and straightforward. Like other cars from this manufacturer, the model boasts a high level of safety. The cost of a car in the salons of domestic dealers starts at 3.3 million rubles.
The availability of economical transport always remains an urgent topic of concern to every motorist.
