Most Fuel Efficient Petrol Cars in India
When it comes to fuel efficiency, Maruti Suzuki is king.

It is interesting to see the fourth and fifth position is filled out by a Tata Tiago Hatch and the Toyota Prius that gets onto the list thanks to its lithium-ion assisted electric motor.

Once again it is an outright dominance of Maruti Suzuki’s from 1st to 5th, in terms of diesel, even without their super efficient 3-cyl 800cc diesel motor from the Celerio Diesel. Its interesting to see the Ciaz in second spot especially considering that it is a full-size sedan, but thanks to Maruti’s SHVS hybrid technology it returns the 28 kmpl that it does. The Swift is the perhaps the most efficient state of tune of 1.3 litre DDiS motor that we have seen to date!
