Buy one Vehicle This is a very significant expense, which is followed by maintenance, modifications, taxes, insurance and, above all, ongoing maintenance. fuel consumption.
And if it is not well chosen, the latter can be much more important than expected. Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has Study to find out cars that consume less (According to approved data by the manufacturer) in each type of mechanics.
Gasoline powered cars
He holds the C label of the DGT. The first five are about five liters per 100 kilometers, with which the two models are tied.
| brand and model | (L/100km) |
| Toyota Aygo X | 4,8 |
| Hyundai i10 1.0 MPI | 4,8 |
| Mitsubishi Space Star 120 MPI | 4,9 |
| Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI 110CV | 5 |
| Peugeot 208 Puretec 100 | 5 |
At the other extreme, the OCU has determined that the car with the highest official consumption is the Mercedes AMG G63, with 16 liters per 100 kilometers, That is more than thrice the winners of this category.
Diesel powered cars
its sales have declined significantly: in the ten years they have spent from representing 70% to barely 13% So far in 2023.
| brand and model | (L/100km) |
| Renault Clio dCi 100 CV | 4,1 |
| Peugeot 208 HDI 100CV | 4,1 |
| Skoda Octavia TDI 115CV | 4,1 |
| Seat Leon TDI 115 CV | 4,2 |
| Opel Corsa 1.5 D 100CV | 4,2 |
He diesel The one that consumes the most is also another Mercedes, in this case with the G 350d 12.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Almost three times more than the consumption of the most frugal.
Cars with micro hybridization
These vehicles have a mild hybridization system thanks to a small 48V Electric Motor Which normally can’t drive the car on its own, but helps with starting and acceleration, improves consumption (very slightly). However, above all, its main advantage is that you can apply the ECO label to the windshield.
| brand and model | Consumption(L/100) |
| Fiat 500 1.0 | 4,6 |
| Mazda 2 90cv | 4,7 |
| Suzuki Swift 1.2 | 4,7 |
| Fiat Panda 1.0 Hybrid | 4,9 |
| Hyundai i20 T GDI 100 CV | 5 |
The vehicle that OCU detected with the highest consumption within this range is the 600 CV Audi RS Q8 TFSI, with 13.2 liters per 100 kilometers.
Hybrid cars
they have a mechanical gasoline and other electrical which is recharged with combustion or deceleration, allowing it to circulate with electrical energy on many occasions, especially in the city. Despite this, it has electrical autonomy Only two or three kilometers. On the highway, shifting the weight of the battery and electric motor increases consumption.
| brand and model | Consumption (L/100km) |
| Mazda 2 Hybrid | 3,8 |
| Toyota Yaris 120h | 3,9 |
| Renault Clio Hybrid 140CV | 4,2 |
| Toyota Yaris Cross 120h | 4,4 |
| Kia Niro HEV | 4,4 |
The most fuel-efficient hybrid car is the Lexus LS 500h. 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Plug-in hybrid cars
In the homologation process for cars with plug-in hybrid engines, the gasoline engine only operates in a part of the consumption measurement cycle, which is as short as the autonomy in electric mode of the car. In other words, it is usually Consumption measured in the first 100 kms.
That’s why PHEVs are first on this list high priced cars And with a great electrical autonomy. The indicated consumption is for a gasoline engine.
| brand and model | Consumption(L/100) |
| Mercedes GLC | 0,4 |
| bmw series 2 | 0,6 |
| Mercedes S Class | 0,6 |
| bmw x1 | 0,7 |
| Volvo S60 | 0,7 |
The most fuel-efficient car in its segment is the Jeep Wrangler PHEV. 4.1 liters per 100 kilometers. But zero is written on it.
Electric cars
In Spain this type of car keeps moving without taking off. And it is that the charging infrastructure is still not what is required. He percentage of sales cars like this Only 4% is.
expressed in its consumption kWh every 100 kms.
| brand and model | Consumption (kWh/100km) |
| Fiat 500e | 13 |
| Hyundai Ioniq | 13,8 |
| dacia spring | 13,9 |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 | 13,9 |
| Hyundai Kona | 14,3 |
The most energy-consuming electric car is the BYD Tang, which reaches 23.8 kWh of electricity consumption per 100 km.
Lpg powered cars
Cars with LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) usually have two tanks, one for gasoline and one for gas. And it can work with either one. It does this at the push of a button or automatically switches to the second fuel when the first fuel runs out.
| brand and model | Consumption (L/100km) |
| dacia sandero | 6,9 |
| Renault Clio | 7,1 |
| Dacia Sandero Stepway | 7,5 |
| Renault Captur | 7,8 |
| dacia jogger | 7,8 |
The one that spends the most is the Dacia Duster, but not more than the others in the list as it consumes 8 liters of LPG per 100 kms.
CNG Engine Coaches
Cars with CNG (compressed natural gas) can also run on that fuel or gasoline interchangeably, just like LPG. The offering of CNG cars is much more limited and exclusive Volkswagen Group. this fuel consumption It is measured in kg.
| brand and model | Consumption (kg/100km) |
| seat ibiza | 3,6 |
| Seat Aerona | 3,7 |
| Skoda Kamiq | 3,7 |
| Skoda Octavia | 3,8 |
| seat leon | 4 |
