The most economical cars

In connection with the ever-growing price of fuel, many car owners are seriously thinking about buying a more economical vehicle. Completely abandon the car and change the bike can not everyone. Due to the growing demand for environmentally friendly machines with low fuel consumption, leading manufacturers offer a large number of options that are suitable for almost any customer request.

For those who are looking for economical cars, first of all it is necessary to pay attention to small-displacement models. It is in them that the curb weight is maximally reduced, and for this reason the far more powerful engine is installed. This is the machine with a low fuel consumption. Of course, this car will not give out stunning results on a quick start or acceleration. But it, like other economical cars, will be able to significantly save the budget of its owner.

To date, one of the leaders in the field of fuel economy is the model from the Korean manufacturer Kia Rio in the Eco Dynamics bundle. On board this car has an engine, the volume of which is only 1.1 liters. Consumption of this unit is only 2.66 liters per hundred. This is an absolute record among cars of this category. In addition, Kia Rio can be called an environmentally friendly car, since the amount of carbon dioxide emissions does not exceed 85 g / km. The car has 69 hp. And accelerates to 100 km / h in almost 15 seconds. These indicators are enough for a normal ride around the city.

Very economical cars produced by the Czech company Skoda. Their model Fabia Greenline consumes only 2.8 liters per hundred. This low consumption is achieved in several ways. First, a low-power engine is used. The exact same engine is installed in the most economical cars from Volkswagen - Polo BlueMotion, but it does not produce such good results there. Secondly, the start-stop system helps to reduce the consumption when driving around the city, at traffic lights and traffic jams. Thirdly, special tires have been installed, which have reduced rolling resistance.

Smart indicators demonstrate Smart Fortwo. The fuel consumption of this car is 2.85 liters. This is good enough, given that the engine is installed on the board at 799 cubic centimeters. The maximum speed of this German baby does not exceed the bar at 135 km / h. Unlike the Fabia Greenline and the Kia Rio, this is just a two-seater, which is perfect for a city.

And, of course, if we talk about economical cars, we can not fail to mention the Toyota Prius. Despite the fact that this model does not consume record volumes of fuel, it is undoubtedly leading in terms of sales for many years. Unlike the above cars, the Toyota Prius has a full-fledged large salon and a fairly spacious trunk. It consumes 4.6 liters of fuel when driving through the city and slightly less than 5 liters on the highway. This is achieved thanks to built-in generators and smart on-board computer, which includes an internal combustion engine at a time when there is not enough power from the electric.
