10 Surprisingly Fuel-efficient Vehicles
2020 Mitsubishi Mirage
It may be dull-looking and extremely slow with just 78 horsepower, but the Mirage is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid vehicle in Canada, achieving a combined 6.2 L/100 km when paired with a CVT.

2020 Honda Fit
Another sub-compact car, what’s so surprising about that? Well, the Fit is both more efficient (6.5 L/100 km) and more powerful (128 hp) than all of them.
2020 Toyota Camry
Equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the 203-horsepower, four-cylinder Camry (6.9 L/100 km) burns as little fuel as a manual, 106-horsepower Yaris—and less than many other smaller cars, to boot.
2020 Kia Niro
If you want a highly efficient crossover, none beats the Niro with its combined rating of 4.7 L/100 km. This hybrid model comes with FWD only, however.
2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The next-gen Highlander Hybrid is 17-percent more fuel-efficient than its predecessor with an average of 6.7 L/100 km. That’s incredible for a three-row midsize SUV that can tow up to 3,500 pounds—and better than most compact cars!
2020 Lexus UX 200
With such a small footprint, you’d expect the Lexus UX 200 to be good on gas, but can you believe it rates at 7.2 L/100 km with a 168-horsepower engine? Credit goes to the CVT and FWD setup.
2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Duramax
Thanks to its 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine, the Silverado 1500 Duramax is the fuel economy champion among full-size pickups, achieving 8.9 L/100 km in 4x2 configuration (9.4 L/100 km in 4x4 configuration).
2020 Honda CR-V
Compact SUVs are extremely popular and one of the reasons why the CR-V ranks second (behind the RAV4) is its fuel consumption rating of just 7.7 L/100 km for the FWD model. That’s one tenth better than the smaller HR-V!
2020 BMW 330i xDrive
Except for their hybrid variants, luxury cars are not exactly models of frugality at the pump. The 330i xDrive, which boasts 255 horsepower and all-wheel drive, amazes with a combined rating of 8.3 L/100 km. There’s one caveat: premium gas is required.
2020 Toyota GR Supra
Sure, Toyota is known for producing fuel-efficient vehicles, but here you have a 335-horsepower, six-cylinder sports car that reaches 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and burns a mere 8.9 L/100 km. That’s one benefit of not offering a manual gearbox.
