When compiling such a list, overseas colleagues were guided by the fact that, despite the advent of the era of transport electrification, there is still a huge number of fans of the good old internal combustion engines.
"Some claim that electric cars are boring and that they need to be charged too often; others despise hybrids because they need to be plugged in. Price is another reason why many prefer to stay away from electrified cars, as they tend to be more expensive," writes AutoEvolution.
In the end, we have that many motorists are still loyal to classic cars. However, constant fluctuations in fuel prices force Americans to look specifically at the most economical cars. And here is what their top looks like (fuel consumption is given in the format: city cycle/highway/combined):
Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback
Consumption: 6.5/5.4/6.0 liters per 100 km;
Engine: 1.2, 78 hp
Hyundai Elantra
Consumption: 7.1/5.4/6.3 liters per 100 km;
Engine: 2.0, 147 hp
Hyundai Accent
Consumption: 7.1/5.7/6.5 liters per 100 km;
Engine: 1.6, 120 hp
Consumption: 7.3/5.6/6.5 liters per 100 km
Engine: 1.5 turbo, 150 hp
Toyota Corolla Hatchback
Consumption: 7.3/5.7/6.7 liters per 100 km
Engine: 2.0, 168 hp
As you can see, the list of the most economical includes budget models and the middle price category. The top three in the US cost from 16-20 thousand dollars, the Civic – just under 24 thousand, and the Corolla – almost from 22 thousand.
