Fuel efficiency is one of the most important elements we consider when buying a car in India, and with rising fuel prices, having fuel-efficient automobiles has become even more important. The market has turned away from diesel engines, forcing manufacturers to abandon them.
With a slew of major debuts, the automotive sector regained its former stride this year. Let’s take a look at the most fuel-efficient gasoline cars from 2021:
| Fuel-Efficient Petrol Cars | Mileage |
|---|---|
| Maruti Suzuki Celerio | 26.68 km/l |
| Renault Kiger | 20.53 km/l |
| Hyundai i20 N-line | 20.25 km/l |
| Tata Punch | 18.97 km/l |
| Volkswagen Taigun | 18.47 km/l |
