The transition to hybrid and all-electric vehicles is firmly underway, but there's still plenty of life in the gas engine yet, and with modern engineering, it’s more affordable than ever. Many vehicles boast excellent fuel economy without the extra cost of a hybrid powertrain. Here are five of the most fuel-efficient models available today.
1) Nissan Sentra
The Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan with a lithe design that turns heads wherever it goes. Based on a 2.0-litre, 149 horsepower gas engine, the Sentra offers nimble performance with a fuel economy rating of just 6.2 L/100 km on the highway. What makes the Sentra an even more attractive proposition is its wealth of infotainment and safety technology. From touchscreen displays to driver alertness monitoring, the Nissan Sentra is equipped to keep you safe and connected on the road.
2) Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is a classic everyday car that's available in both sedan and hatchback formats, each delivering satisfyingly responsive performance at impressive fuel consumption rates. The sporty hatchback version boasts ratings of just 7.7 L/100 km in the city and 6.3 L/100 km on the highway, while the sedan version is even more efficient at an impressively low rating of 7.7 L/100 km in the city and 6.0 L/100 km on the highway. Whichever format you choose, the Civic offers a range of upscale interior comforts, with available options including heated and ventilated seats with leather upholstery, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation.
3) Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra is a sleek sedan that makes an excellent choice for commuting and road trips thanks to its stunningly low highway fuel consumption of just 5.5 L/100 km, making it possibly the most efficient non-hybrid vehicle available. The economical performance isn't achieved by sacrificing performance, with a 147 horsepower 2.0-litre gas engine propelling the Elantra's sleek sedan body with confidence and poise. To round out the Elantra's appeal, interior options include a 10.25-inch touchscreen display, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a wireless device-charging pad.
4) Chevrolet Trailblazer
The compact Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV offers an attractive fusion of style, economy, and spacious interior comfort. The standard engine is a 1.2-litre turbo model making 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, feeding front-wheel drive through a continuously variable transmission. Alongside its nimble performance, the Trailblazer offers a strikingly light economy rating of just 7.6 L/100 km on the highway, placing it firmly in the top tier of fuel-efficient SUVs.
5) Acura Integra
The Acura Integra proves that even premium vehicles can deliver low costs at the gas station.
