Every day, gas prices are constantly growing, and for this reason, almost all global automakers are seriously fighting for the right to exist in the market. Every year, companies produce more and more cars that are safer, more comfortable and more economical in terms of fuel consumption. In today's article, we would like to pay attention to the latter characteristic. Consider the most economical SUVs and crossovers. We present to your attention 5 cars that can boast of this quality.
Mazda CX-5 - first place in the ranking of “Economy Crossover of the Year ”
After its debut, the new Mazda CX-5 simply impressed everyone with its appetite. According to the manufacturer, the average fuel consumption of this crossover is no more than 6.7 liters per hundred. Even some imported passenger cars cannot boast of such a characteristic. With such an expense, the Japanese can proudly declare that this year they created the most economical crossover in the world.
German BMW X1 - second place
The Germans are not far behind modernity and are constantly improving their technology of direct fuel injection into the cylinder. Thanks to the use of such a technology for supplying gasoline, the new line of BMW X1 crossovers spends no more than 6.9 liters of fuel per hundred. This is only one glass more than our winner, so the novelty can be safely described as one of the most economical cars in its class.
Buick Encore - third place
The bronze in the ranking of the “World's Most Economic Crossover” was won by the American Buick Encore with an indicator of 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers. For a car of this class, this expense is quite acceptable, especially if it is operated in an urban area. It is worth noting that the Buick Encore has become not only one of the most economical, but also one of the most affordable front-wheel drive SUVs in the price category. In Russia, it costs about 25 thousand dollars. Given the average fuel consumption and the cost of the Buick itself, we can say that the cars of the Encore series are the most economical and inexpensive American-made crossovers.
Subaru XV Crosstrek - fourth place
It is worth noting that this car is the first full-fledged SUV on our list. The presence of all-wheel drive, reasonable fuel consumption (about 7.2 liters per hundred) and price make it a real bestseller in the world market. And despite the fact that the Subaru is less economical than the Mazda, its popularity and demand have no limits. It is as much in demand as its competitors mentioned above, so the engineers of this concern have much to be proud of this year.
Dizal modification "Mercedes GLK"
It is worth noting that this is a single economical crossover in our rating, which broke all the records of high cost. In Russia, it is sold at a price of two million rubles. And for the most part, you do not have to overpay for a salon stuffed with electronics, but rather for a brand. However, there is no need to pay for air. The perfectly planned design, the architecture of the cabin and the mass of security systems make it one of the best, but at the same time the most expensive crossovers. Therefore, our motorists are in no hurry to purchase it, although its fuel consumption does not exceed 7.5 liters per hundred.
