Fuel efficiency is more critical than ever given the country’s high fuel prices. When it comes to maximising gas savings, drivers must choose the right car. Whether you commute every day or plan extended road trips, buying a car with excellent fuel efficiency can help you save money.
This article discusses the best five cars that not only excel in fuel efficiency but also provide comfort, durability, and value, allowing you to save money without sacrificing quality or performance.
Cars that can save you money on petrol include:
BMW 330e gets 217.3 mp
The BMW 330e is a wonderful example of how inexpensive hybrid vehicles can nevertheless provide an enjoyable driving experience. It combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, resulting in strong acceleration and remarkable fuel efficiency.
The BMW 3 Series 330e plug-in hybrid is the standout model in the portfolio, with the capacity to travel up to 30 miles on pure electric power and attain over 100 miles per gallon (on paper). The 330e, like the rest of the BMW 3 Series, features a high-quality interior with cutting-edge technology. Furthermore, secondhand BMW cars frequently come with substantial discounts.
Toyota Prius: 235.4 MPG (Plug-In Hybrid)
Toyota provides both self-charging and plug-in hybrid versions of the Prius, with the latter achieving an amazing stated economy of 235.4mpg—assuming the battery is charged. The self-charging Prius, which does not require a plug, is less expensive on the used car market and scores over 70 mpg, according to Toyota. Plug-in hybrids may travel short distances using only electricity.
Suzuki Swift – 64.0mpg
All contemporary Suzuki Swift superminis use the brand’s ‘Boosterjet’ hybrid engine, which includes a mild hybrid system. This design allows the electric motor to help the petrol engine, lowering its burden and increasing fuel efficiency. While the Swift cannot run entirely on electric power, the mild hybrid system increases overall efficiency and adds a boost during acceleration.
Toyota Corolla Touring Sports – 63.8 mpg
After a brief absence from the UK market, the Toyota Corolla has returned, with hybrid options that make it better than ever. The Touring Sports (estate) variant, like the hatchback, provides a well-balanced driving experience, with carefully calibrated suspension and handling. Every model comes well-equipped, with a choice of two petrol-hybrid engines (1.8-litre or 2.0-litre) capable of up to 63.8mpg.
Hyundai IONIQ – 60.0 MPG
The Hyundai IONIQ, like the Toyota Prius, is available in both self-charging and plug-in hybrid models, with the plug-in variety providing superior value as a used car. The IONIQ combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine and an electric motor, allowing it to drive up to 39 miles on a single charge.
