It is hardly surprising that the 1.5-liter diesel engine with the iMT gearbox is at the top of the fuel efficiency rankings. The shocker is located between the turbo-petrol engine.

When paired with a DCT gearbox, the turbo-petrol hybrid promises a little higher fuel economy of 19.2 mpg compared to the naturally aspirated petrol-manual combination’s 18.83 mpg.
