In a crisis, it is advisable to save everyone and everything. This can be applied to cars as well. It has long become clear to car owners and manufacturers that it is possible and necessary to save money primarily on fuel. If you improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, inflate the tires to the desired pressure, you can not waste the cherished grams and even liters of fuel. But to really save money, you need to purchase a unit that is profitable in this regard. So what is the most fuel efficient car?

It is worth noting that various hybrids are currently being developed - electric models that do not require large expenditures. And such machines are in demand, but not yet in our country. The cost of the car itself is quite high, and the average Russian consumer is not always affordable. In Europe, it has long been understood that the most economical cars in terms of fuel consumption are diesel ones. For example, miniature hatchbacks with a small diesel engine, such as the Opel Corsa, are sold there in huge quantities. But in Russia other cars are preferred. Of all the characteristics, the inhabitants of our country are the firstturn pay attention to the design of the car and its efficiency. And preference is given not to compact, subcompact hatchbacks, but to sedans.

So what are the most popular foreign cars in Russia? Among them there are no electric, hybrid and diesel cars. You can make a kind of rating, which will present the most economical cars in terms of fuel consumption. Let's make a reservation that this list will include cars that are popular in Russia.

10th place. Chevrolet Cob alt

This is a good sedan, has a very attractive appearance. The developers launched this range to replace the outdated Lacetti, which was discontinued in December 2012. The technical characteristics of the car are typical for a small city car, although the manufacturer classifies it as a B-class (small class, sedan). Available with both manual and automatic transmissions. The suspension is made as if specifically for Russian conditions. It is quite soft and does not require a perfect road.

• The price of the basic version is about 440 thousand rubles.
• For a small additional investment, you can get a more comfortable package (another +50 thousand).
• Engine power - 106 hp s.
• Fuel consumption for cars with mechanics in a combined cycle is 6.5 liters per 100 km, for city mode - 8.4 l/100 km and 5.3 l/100 km when driving on the highway.
• The trunk is very roomy - 545 liters. This is one of the largest trunks in this class.
• Maintenance for 15,000 km will cost 7000 rubles, and zero maintenance is recommended withoil change, it's about another 4000 rubles.
• The powerful engine of 106 "horses" makes the vehicle tax high enough for this car - 2650.
• OSAGO insurance will cost about 4,800 rubles.

9 place. Chevrolet Aveo

• 507 thousand rubles is the starting price of the car.
• There is a rich basic package: it includes everything except heated front seats and electronically controlled mirrors.
• Relatively low gas consumption - 6.6 liters per 100 km.
• MTPL policy will cost 4800 rubles, the same as for Cob alt.
• Maintenance will be a little more expensive. For 15,000 km - 10 thousand rubles. Zero maintenance is also needed.
• Transport tax is also slightly higher - 2850 rubles

Chevrolet Aveo is a very modern, stylish, somewhat daring car. The dashboard looks like a "motorcycle", which makes it partly a youth car. Aveo has a very decent trunk of 501 liters. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting the disgusting sound insulation of the cabin.

8 place. Citroen C-Elysee

• 456 thousand rubles - the price of the basic configuration.
• 490 thousand will cost a car with air conditioning and audio system.
• Fuel consumption - 5.5 liters per 100 km.
• Power is only 72 hp. s.
• TO-1 needs to go 15,000 km, it will cost about 7,000 rubles.
• Transport tax - less than 900 rubles.
• OSAGO – 3700rubles.

This is one of the cutest foreign cars of the budget range. A stylish design is an important factor when choosing a brand new car. For air conditioning and audio system will have to pay extra. Claimed fuel consumption is very low. The most economical car in terms of fuel is also distinguished by a very modest power. However, this will help to avoid additional expenses for transport tax and insurance.

7 place. Peugeot 301

• Basic equipment - from 456 thousand rubles.
• With additional options - 523 thousand rubles.
• Power 72 hp s.
• Average gas mileage is 5.6 liters per 100 km.
• Transport tax - about 900 rubles.
• OSAGO – 3700 rubles

In many respects, the Peugeot 301 is similar to the Citroen C-Elysee. This is the starting price, and engine power, and gasoline consumption. A solid French car is distinguished by the elegance and grace inherent in the "French". Although the equipment in the basic version is rather modest, and for greater comfort you will have to buy additional options, anyway, this car is very attractive in its class. Good Spanish assembly, excellent interior insulation make it a reliable friend on the road.

6 place. Hyundai Solaris

• 460 thousand asking in salons for basic equipment.
• For a good additional set of options - another 35 thousand.
• Engine power - 107 liters. s.
• Gasoline consumption - 6 liters per100 km.
• Transport tax – RUB 2700
• OSAGO – 4800 rubles.
• Maintenance - about 5000 rubles.

In terms of size and capacity, this car is slightly inferior to its competitors, but boasts more winning equipment for less money. The design of the "Korean" is excellent. Fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles such as the Hyundai Solaris save money on fuel, upkeep and maintenance.

5 place. Kia Rio

• The starting price of "Korean" is from 500 thousand.
• Car with the optimal configuration - 520 thousand rubles.
• Engine power - 107 liters. s.
• Fuel consumption - 6 liters per 100 km.
• Transport tax - 2700 rubles.

KIA in the basic configuration is more expensive than its French competitors, but for an additional 20 thousand, the car owner will receive everything you need: air conditioning, an audio system, heated seats and a windshield, as well as a leather steering wheel. This stylish, sporty, modern car is firmly established in the budget segment. Rio and Solaris have almost the same body, but look completely different. Solaris is strict and restrained, while Ria is bright and sporty. Fuel-efficient cars in terms of fuel consumption are very popular in Russia. Solaris was named the most purchased foreign car in Russia, largely due to low fuel consumption and relatively lowcar cost.

4 place. Nissan Almera

• Price - from 430 thousand.
• More comfortable equipment - 530 thousand.
• Maintenance at 15,000 km will cost 6,000 rubles
• Engine power - 102 HP. s.
• Transport tax - about 2.5 thousand rubles.
• OSAGO – 4800 rubles

This is another budget car popular with Russian consumers. It is assembled at AvtoVAZ, on the well-known Logan platform. The most economical cars in terms of fuel consumption with an automatic will cost more than with mechanics. So the reliable Nissan Almera with an automatic transmission is presented in more expensive trim levels. Maintenance of the car is inexpensive, it has enough power, the design is also on top. But in a good configuration, it turns out to be more expensive than its competitors - the budget "French" and "Koreans".

3rd place. Volkswagen Polo Sedan

• Price - from 470 thousand.
• Price for additional comfort - 510 thousand rubles.
• Power - 105 hp s.
• Gasoline consumption - 6.5 liters per 100 km.
• The transport tax will be 2700 rubles.
• MTPL policy – 4800 rubles

A pleasant argument in favor of this car is its origin. This is a strict and reliable German sedan with a good, high-quality assembly. To some, its design will seem boring, but the demand for it is quite high. In Servicethe car is very unpretentious. Tax and insurance are slightly above average due to the power of 105 "horses".

2nd place. Chery Bonus

• The price of the basic configuration is from 330 thousand.
• Complete set with more comfortable options - 350 thousand.
• Maintenance will be 5,000 rubles after every 10,000 km.
• Engine power - 80 HP. s.
• Transport tax – RUB 2700
• MTPL policy – 4800 rubles
• Fuel consumption - 6.5 liters per 100 km.

Chery Bonus is a Chinese sedan, quite compact in size, with an average engine, only 80 "horses". However, car owners vote for him with a ruble. For the city, this is the most economical car in terms of fuel. In addition, already in the configuration for 350 thousand there is air conditioning, an audio system, airbags, heated front seats, all power windows and some other nice little things. Many people treat the Chinese auto industry with distrust, but still the majority believes that it is definitely ahead of AvtoVAZ. Yes, perhaps, the design is quite modest, but the equipment cannot but rejoice. And the price is more than pleasant.

1 place. Geely MK

• Starting price is 330 thousand.
• Improved equipment - 360 thousand rubles.
• Fuel consumption - 6.8 l / 100 km.
• Transport tax – RUB 1100
• OSAGO – 3700 rubles
• Power - 94 hps.
• Maintenance every 10,000 km will cost 7.5 thousand rubles. "Zero" maintenance is also needed - 9 thousand.

Geely MK is China's most popular sedan. This is not surprising, because it has a very attractive price. For an additional 30 thousand to the basic configuration, you can get a complete list of comfort and safety elements. This includes air conditioning, airbags, power windows, electric mirrors, ABS, and even a leather-wrapped steering wheel and parking sensors. However, maintenance for a Chinese sedan needs to be done every 10,000 km. In addition, the owners of this car say that some little things require frequent repairs. But the Chinese auto industry is gradually filling the Russian market, and we have the right to expect the appearance of new budget cars, these can be economical cars in terms of class C fuel consumption, because small hatchbacks are more suitable for Europe.

And from the cars currently on the market, we got such a rating, which includes economical cars in terms of fuel consumption. 2014 was the year in which budget cars were the most popular. Maybe the picture will change in the future. For example, when fuel-efficient premium-class gasoline cars become available to a wide range of car enthusiasts.
