At modern conditions economy has to save on almost everything. And as you know, one of the most significant items in the expense column is a car. Some household tricks like desired pressure tires or improved aerodynamics can help save an extra half liter. But still, it's not serious. For real savings, it is important to choose the right car in the first place.
In 2017, the choice of the most economy car mobile has become much easier than it was ten or twenty years ago. As before, the leading positions in the ranking of “the most economical and inexpensive car” are occupied by small cars. However, now on this list you can find crossovers and even sports cars (for example, the Porsche Panamera).
In this regard, when choosing an economical car, you can now navigate not only by gasoline consumption, but also in other parameters, such as respectability, power and others. This is especially true when choosing a car in Russia. . Although our people want to choose the most economical car for themselves, at the same time they are not ready to drive only in an ugly car. Therefore, we will try to consider all options for a modern economical car.
City runabouts
Small engine volumes and small dimensions are the foundation on which economical city cars traditionally hold. And in this case weak engine and dimensions are not a disadvantage.
With small dimensions, the car is much easier to drive. In addition, it is easier to move around in urban areas and easier to find a parking space. Yes, and the price of such a car will be cheaper. Let's try to figure out which car is better in terms of fuel consumption in Russia.
One of the first cars in terms of efficiency is the Citroen C1. Its consumption in city traffic is five and a half liters. Despite the fact that this is a French brand, these machines are assembled in the Czech Republic.
A full tank of Citroen C1 holds 78 liters of fuel. The manufacturers themselves recommend operating the car on A95 gasoline. This car can comfortably accommodate four adults at the same time.
The cost of a five-year supported Citroen C1 fluctuates around 250-300 thousand rubles. New car from the dealership will cost about 600 thousand.
Refueled once full tank, it will be possible to drive 764 km without problems. The car is designed for four people. Trunk volume 883 liters. This model refutes the myth of weak runabouts. Honda Jazz accelerates to a hundred kilometers in just 11.4 seconds. The cost of this used car fluctuates around 300-400 thousand rubles.
By Aveo dimensions slightly larger than previous models. Yes, and fuel consumption is slightly higher and amounts to 6.6 liters per hundred kilometers. This car is designed for five people.
Trunk volume 501 liters. The car is more suitable for young people. Of the shortcomings, only poor sound insulation can be noted. Minimum price for new car- 507 thousand. On secondary market the price of 2006 will be about 200 rubles.
This car is in the first place among urban small cars. With an engine power of one liter, the average consumption is 4.3 liters, and the minimum is only 3.9.
Compact thoughtful design makes this car stand out from many others in the city. traffic flow. One tank is enough for 740 km. Acceleration from zero to hundred in 14.7 seconds. Toyota IQ is not only among the most economical cars, but is also in first place in terms of the lowest carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The price starts at used from 350 thousand rubles.
Urban crossovers
Choosing a car is a serious matter, I want to choose an economical car and at the same time not lower the bar too much. However, today it is quite possible to buy a comfortable off-road car with high ground clearance and not go broke on buying fuel.
Already familiar to many in Russian KIA market Soul consumes only 7.2 liters per hundred kilometers. The car has new suspension and gasoline unit 1.6 MPI. Despite the fact that there are 124 hp under the hood, this does not greatly affect fuel consumption.
Profitability was achieved due to the mono-drive box. The clearance of the car is 158 cm. This is quite enough for driving on light off-road or speed bumps. The price of this car starts from 800 thousand.
Japanese manufacturers were able to combine in this car a 1.2-liter engine and 112 horses with a fuel consumption of 6.2 liters.
With a clearance of 200 mm, this is one of the most massive cars in this class. The car attracts not only with its appearance, but also quite democratic price. The cost of this car starts from 800 thousand.
Hybrid cars (briefly retell the features of the section)
A separate niche among economical cars is occupied by hybrids. In this case, additional savings can be achieved by introducing into production the latest technologies. Recently, there has been a serious jump in demand for such cars. Due to this, there has been some jump in prices.
It is one of the main representatives hybrid cars. Fuel consumption from 5.5 - 8.0 liters per 100 km. In the standard version electric accumulator is charged from the engine and during braking.
However, in new assembly it became possible to charge from the network and ride only on electric traction. Trunk volume 443 liters. Most importantly, the car is completely silent while driving. The cost of a used car starts from 400 thousand.
Unlike most modern cars, the BMW i3 was designed from the ground up. None of the existing machines was taken as a basis. Like Toyota Prius some BMW versions i3 are able to charge from the network.
As for fuel, this car only needs half a liter per hundred kilometers. A full tank is enough for 322 kilometers. What is surprising about this machine is that, for all its economy, the power is 170 horses with a weight of 1639 kg. BMW cost i3 from two million.
Diesel cars:
Audi A3 1.6 TDI

One of the best economical family cars. Its attractiveness lies in increased safety and reduced fuel consumption.
This machine is made in Belgium. One tank is enough for 1390 kilometers. With a power of 120 horses, the car consumes 3.9 liters in the city. In a more powerful configuration of 190 liters. With. 6.4 liters are spent. Price from 1.5 million.
It is nowadays the main selection criterion for a potential buyer. Nobody wants to spend 1.2 million. rubles or more, buying a car, and in the end get not very great advantage fuel economy compared to cheaper cars. When buying an economical car, the buyer wants to get significant savings in gasoline or diesel fuel, which over time will at least partially pay for the overpaid money for an economical car.
We have compiled a rating for you, consisting of 10 cars that are the most economical and make sense for a purchase in terms of their cost, since overpaying for the economy of a car over time, it is possible to recoup the money invested due to lower gas station expenses.

On your car. This is worth doing in order to stop at the gas station on time. For many drivers, the efficiency of the car is one of the decisive factors when choosing a car. For a long time, the media and various agencies have been studying this list with all care. interesting to many people, because the maintenance of the car and so it takes a lot of money.
Is low fuel consumption really a guarantee of efficiency?
In fact, this is a question that cannot be answered unambiguously. You should expect the answer - yes, but this is not always the case. For example, diesel engines consume less fuel, but given that diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline, we can conclude that this type of machine will not reduce costs that much. You also need to take into account the fact that diesel-powered vehicles need to be repaired and checked more often at stations. Maintenance(ONE HUNDRED). The table below shows vehicles with diesel engines and the lowest fuel consumption.

The most economical cars
When you think about buying a car with low fuel consumption, think about the cost of operation. If your car consumes more fuel than prescribed in the instructions, then this does not necessarily mean a breakdown. Consumption may increase even due to the peculiarities of operation.
The table shows a list of cars with the lowest fuel consumption.
| car model | Consumption liter/100 km |
| Suzuki Kizashi SE | 9.52 |
| Acura TSX | 9.52 |
| Audi A4 Premium | 9.52 |
| Infiniti M35h | 9.52 |
| Audi AZ 2.0T (4-cylinder) | 9.52 |
| Mazda3s Sport | 9.52 |
| MazdaCX-STouring | 9.52 |
| Lexus IS 250 | 10,00 |
| Mercedes-Benz C250 | 10,00 |
| Acura Tl | 10,00 |
| Volkswagen CC Luxury | 10,00 |
| Buick Verano Leather | 10,00 |
| Infiniti G25 Journey | 10,00 |
| Saab 9-3 2.0T | 10,00 |
| Buick Regal CXL | 10,00 |
Most simple example to explain this factor is the following: you are standing at a traffic light, then green lights up, you pick up speed, and then once - and after 200 meters another traffic light. When there is such a driving style, the consumption cannot be small. When the car is accelerating, the engine uses more fuel than during a calm and smooth movement. Try to switch to more in the shortest possible time in order to increase the speed of the machine without increasing fuel consumption.
The following factors, which, although not very significant, but still affect fuel consumption, are:
- Aerodynamic resistance. Lowered windows during a trip can slightly increase fuel consumption, because the car literally “clings” to the air;
- Air conditioner included. Use also contributes to more fuel consumption, because it is powered by a generator, and the generator, in turn, keeps the charge due to fuel consumption;
- Loud music. Acoustic system is also powered by a generator that uses fuel to replenish supplies.
Of course, in the pursuit of savings, you do not need to reach the point of absurdity and not use the air conditioner, do not open the windows and do not turn on the music. Simply, when you use all the benefits of civilization, be aware that you have to pay for everything.
Answer accurately the question of what cars with low fuel consumption it is possible, but which car will be more economical - the answers here differ. You need to consider the cost of the machine and maintenance. The most interesting thing is that correct operation even old machines can be cheaper than the unwise use of the latest generation.
The video below shows the 5 most economical machines that are very compact and easy to operate.
