Fuel consumption is one of the important factors when choosing a vehicle. As a rule, each car manufacturer must indicate fuel consumption in the urban, combined and extra-urban cycles. But sometimes the data of car factories differ significantly from the real numbers.
The top ten included most economical crossovers in terms of fuel consumption according to car enthusiasts.
Opens the top ten most economical SUVs. Lovers of quality and reliability will not be disappointed in this domestic SUV. Over a long period of time and under any off-road conditions, this car is able to serve you faithfully. The four-cylinder SUV engine has a rated power of 80 horsepower. The engine capacity is 1.6 liters. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle per 100 km is 10.9 liters, in the suburban - 8.8 liters, in the city - 14. 2. However, the real reviews of the owners indicate that the car's fuel consumption in the city is much higher.
ssangyong Actyon- quite economical SUV with moderate fuel consumption. Since 2011, the appearance of the crossover has changed dramatically. A choice of equipment began to be offered with a 2-liter gasoline or diesel engine. Maximum power - 149 and 175 hp, depending on the configuration. The average fuel consumption has been reduced. Now it is in the average cycle per 100 km - 8-8.5 liters on a gasoline engine and 6-7.5 liters on a diesel engine.
Suzuki SX4 is considered one of the most economical crossovers in terms of fuel consumption among motorists. In 2013, the second generation of the car debuted. In addition to changes in design, there have been changes in the motors that are installed on the model. Buyers are offered the same 1.6-liter engine, but now with 117 hp. (and also from 140 hp from 2016 after restyling). There is a traditional choice between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, as well as between AT and MT. Gasoline consumption varies in the city from 6.6 to 6.8 liters, on the highway - from 4.7 to 5 liters. On the version with 140 horsepower, the consumption in city / highway modes is 6.7 / 5.2l.
Diesel version Mazda CX-5 2.2 belongs to the most economical crossovers in terms of fuel consumption. The car has 175 horsepower, but there is also a less powerful version -150 horsepower. The unit is powered exclusively by diesel fuel, and has very solid speed performance. It accelerates to the first hundred in 9.4 seconds with a mass of 1.7 tons. Maximum acceleration - up to 204 km / h. The engine consumes about 7.0 liters in the city, and 5.3 liters on the highway.
Toyota Urban cruiser included in the list of the most economical SUVs in terms of gasoline consumption. Toyota Urban Cruiser with a gasoline engine is equipped with a start / stop system that turns off the engine in traffic jams and restarts it as soon as the driver depresses the clutch pedal. This allows you to significantly reduce fuel consumption. In all-wheel drive configurations with a 1.3-liter engine, it is 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, in front-wheel drive - only 4.5 liters. The declared maximum speed is 175 km / h. Acceleration to a speed of 100 km / h is 11.7 seconds for front-wheel drive and 12.5 seconds for 4 WD.
One of the most economical crossovers to date. The average consumption is from 10 to 16 liters, depending on the engine, gearbox, drive and driving style. Petrol 2.0 is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic. The standard kit has 150 horses and front-wheel drive. The option also includes all-wheel drive with 166 hp. Acceleration to hundreds is 10.4 seconds, and the maximum speed is 181 km / h. Fuel consumption in the city is 9.8 liters, on the highway 6.1 liters and mixed - 7.5-8.2 liters. Diesel 2-liter engine can be equipped with 2 types of transmission. The diesel engine is slightly more powerful than the gasoline unit - 184 hp. with a thrust of 135 kW. The maximum speed is 195 km / h, and the car accelerates to a hundred in 9.4-10.1 seconds. Fuel consumption has decreased, and now it is respectively 7.5-9 liters in the city, highway - 5 liters and average - 5.5-7.1 liters.
Nissan Qashqai- an economical SUV from a Japanese manufacturer. Modification with a 1.6 engine and a power of 115 "horses" in the urban cycle consumes 8.3 liters. per 100 km, in a suburban 5.6 liters and in a mixed one - 6.7 liters. This is the declared consumption by the manufacturer, as for the real numbers, they are somewhat different. The average is 7.7 liters. and 10 liters in the city.
Ford Kuga with a 1.6 engine, it is among the ten most economical crossovers in terms of fuel consumption. The maximum possible speed is from 192 to 200 km per hour. With a power of 150 hp. With. this unit is unlikely to satisfy lovers of street racing and drive, but due to moderate acceleration, the sound effects of the engine seem to compensate for the lack of traction. Fuel consumption in urban areas will be approximately 11 liters, and with full emission on the urban highway - up to 8.5 liters per 100 km, in the combined cycle - 7.7 liters.
Volkswagen Tiguan considered one of the most economical SUVs in terms of fuel consumption. The front-wheel drive version of the Volkswagen Tiguan has a 1.4-liter engine that can match the power of 122 horses. The maximum possible speed is 185 km / h. In addition to the front-wheel drive version, there is also an all-wheel drive version, also equipped with a 1.4-liter unit with a capacity of 170 horsepower. Speed capabilities will improve somewhat and it will be possible to reach speeds of up to 192 km / h. Fuel consumption in the urban cycle - 10.1 liters, mixed - 8 liters, on the highway - 6.7. l.
The most economical crossover in terms of fuel consumption. The new Duster with a 1.5 diesel engine is equipped with economical engines that comply with the EURO 5 environmental standard. Renault engine designers have applied several innovative solutions to dramatically improve the car's acceleration and significantly reduce fuel consumption. The diesel now has a variable geometry turbocharger. This means that the section at the turbine inlet changes depending on the load. Accordingly, the diesel engine operates in optimal mode at any load and does not burn excess fuel at low and high speeds. Also, the diesel engine is equipped with Common Rail injection, which provides fuel supply under controlled high pressure and a changeable moment for supplying a combustible mixture depending on engine speed. The use of these innovations made it possible to reduce the consumption of diesel fuel along the highway to 5 liters, in the combined cycle to 5.3 liters, and in the city - 5.9 liters.
SUVs have long ceased to be a hard-to-reach luxury item. These powerful cars are available to the general public. Motorists are increasingly making their choice in favor of these powerful and impressive steel beauties. The reason for such popularity is their greater availability in the CIS countries. Prices and a wide variety of models are impressive.
Each motorist can choose a car according to his spirit and afford. However, the price is not the main criterion by which owners choose their future car. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is one of the fundamental criteria when buying a car.
When buying, the most common question of the future owner is the question of which SUV is the most economical?
So, in the vastness of our country, the most modest cars in eating fuel are:
This is how the 3 most economical and popular jeep models in the CIS look like. All of them differ in price and configuration, but each of the cars perfectly saves your finances spent on fuel.
The most economical SUV to maintain
Many motorists who decide to purchase an SUV are concerned about the question: “Which SUV is the most economical to maintain?” It is worth noting that the most economical in maintenance is the domestic brainchild of Chevrolet Niva or, as is customary in the common people, Shniva. The machine is the best example of a budget car.
This all-wheel drive miracle is easily repaired at any auto station. If there is some kind of problem or malfunction, then purchasing parts for the car is not a problem at all. Plus, it won't cost as much as fixing a Range Rover or a BMW.
Also, the KIA Sportage repair will not hit your wallet. This mobile crossover has been in production since 1998. The model is quite common in the vastness of our Motherland, and parts for it can be found even in auto markets. The amount of fuel consumed is also quite symbolic for such a strong man.
The car tried to declare itself as the most economical SUV of 2013, but was slightly inferior in efficiency to the classic Lexus RX 450h. The difference between the fuel consumption between these two cars is a third of a liter. Not essential, but a nice little thing.

What is the most economical SUV in 2013 and 2014?
And yet, the most fuel-efficient SUV in 2013-2014 is the Toyota Urban Cruiser.
The machine has been produced since 2008 to the present, because it is definitely in great demand due to its modest requests.
It is impressive that on the track this not voracious fellow consumes only 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
If you buy a car for trips in the city, then it will not bring you special costs, because in the urban cycle it eats up more than 5.7 liters of fuel.
And speaking of a mixed type of cycle, the consumption does not even reach 5 liters of fuel to overcome as many as 100 kilometers.
Unfortunately, long gone are the days when drivers in general, and SUV owners in particular, neglected the fuel consumption of their vehicles.
At present, off-road vehicles have ceased to be the lot of the elite and have firmly entered the ranks of the people, and taking into account the state of domestic roads, they have become indispensable in some places. As you know, demand creates supply. And it got to the point that SUVs have become smaller, off-road properties are weaker, and fuel consumption is more modest and modest.
All this cannot but be a joy to a practical person. After all, now their all-terrain vehicles "eat" as much as the neighbor's sedan. Good times!
We bring to your attention the TOP-10, which includes the most economical SUVs and crossovers based on the characteristics declared by the manufacturers.
Here you will find only those cars that are sold on the domestic market as of 2014. Economy in this particular case is the fuel consumption per 100 km in the combined cycle. The remaining items on the content in the calculation in this article are not taken into account.

We hope that this article will help someone with the choice of a model or just be interesting.
Crossovers have conquered the automotive market, which is quite natural. These cars combine the advantages of both an SUV and an ordinary passenger car, because the crossover boasts both high cross-country ability and fairly confident use in the city. But the first universal cars of this type were not a full-fledged replacement for passenger cars due to the fact that the fuel consumption of the crossover far exceeded the appetites of ordinary sedans or hatchbacks. But now the appetites of crossovers have been somewhat reduced, there are cars that are even more economical than ordinary cars. Of course, the downside of super economy is almost always the lack of special engine power, but for many modern motorists, it is often the economy that comes first. If you also want to get a car that will please you with its fuel consumption, we offer an overview of models where you will not need more than 5-6 liters of fuel in a combined cycle per 100 km of track. In addition, diesel is used as fuel here, because it can be called the most profitable, albeit with some reservations. The most economical crossovers 2019 are as follows:
We have specially selected machines from different manufacturers, in various price ranges, so that you get a complete picture of the market for economical models. All indicators are given for the combined cycle, which is most fair due to the versatility of crossovers.
Peugeot 2008
Peugeot 2008, despite the name, was successfully restyled in the new year, now this car is even more modern. This also applies to fuel consumption. So, the car consumes 5.9 liters of gasoline (there are no diesel options on the Russian market yet) per 100 km with a 1.6-liter engine and a power of 120 hp, as well as 4.9 liters if you choose the version with engine 1 .2 liters for 89 "horses". As you can see, efficiency is at the level of new generations of passenger cars. At the same time, the Peugeot 2008 is not without the advantages of a crossover: there is a MacPherson strut suspension, an excellent running gear, and an electronic Grip Control system to overcome various difficult sections of the road. Yes, for the sake of economy, I had to remove all-wheel drive, the car is sold in Russia exclusively in the 2x4 version, however, this is quite enough if you are not going to ride on desert dunes or storm mountains.
Grip Control itself looks quite original. He received an updated hood that looks interesting and attracts attention. The body itself is small, so in the city you will feel absolutely comfortable. In terms of appearance, the Frenchman is fully consistent with the ideas of a high-quality modern car. In terms of the interior, everything is also in order: there is a lot of electronics and an interesting design characteristic of the French. Yes, you won’t find premium materials here, but the emphasis is on functionality, and there are enough various chips here: from climate control to a panoramic glass roof.
Audi Q2
If you are not constrained in terms of finances, then for 28-40 thousand dollars you can buy an Audi Q2. Of course, for a car for the money, efficiency does not seem to be the main indicator, but, nevertheless, it is worth noting that none of the engines will make you spend more than 7 liters per 100 kilometers. And the engines of this car can be very different: diesel engines of 1.6 and 2.0 liters (power 116 and 190 hp), a gasoline liter engine, as well as versions of 1.4 and 2.0 turbocharged ( 116 hp, 190 and 230 respectively). As you can see, the Audi Q2 is no longer constrained in terms of power. Yes, and the speed here will please you, because on this car you can easily reach the mark of 200 km / h, and even put the arrow below. For a crossover, this is a fantastic performance: both in terms of efficiency and in terms of engine speed. The Audi Q2 is equipped with a manual transmission in the base trim levels, and you get an automatic transmission in the older ones.
Audi Q2 in terms of body is small in size, it is among the top compact crossovers in the world. Such dimensions in the city are only at hand. The design of the German car can be safely called a reference, because you can hardly find a person who would remain indifferent to the appearance of this beast. A relative disadvantage of the Audi Q2 is perhaps the lack of all-wheel drive in the initial trim levels, however, for a modern crossover this is not too scary (if you are not extreme). Front-wheel drive is compensated by intelligent suspension and excellent chassis. But if you want to know for sure that all 4 wheels can be driving, then purchase more expensive versions. But, it’s worth saying that if only all-wheel drive will motivate you to buy an expensive configuration, then it’s better not to make such a purchase.
BMW X3
Another German on our list is the latest BMW X3. The car, again, is from the category of those that simply cannot leave anyone indifferent with their design. The BMW corporate identity never disappoints its fans, although it should be noted that the new generation of the BMW X3 in terms of design cannot be called anything outstanding today. But the efficiency here is really phenomenal, given the considerable dimensions of the car! On the highway, the consumption rate is only 5 liters! Of course, in the combined cycle we reach the mark of 7 kopecks, but it's still amazing. Just look at the motors: xDrive20d for 190 “horses” and xDrive30d for 265 hp. And those are diesel engines! The power is simply phenomenal, as is the consumption with such motor strength. Soon the number of engines will increase, you will be able to enjoy turbo diesel as well as petrol options.
Unlike Audi, the BMW X3 pleases with all-wheel drive in any configuration, moreover, 4 × 4 is not plug-in, but full-fledged, which once again makes us surprised at the economy. The CLAR modular platform is implemented here, to which all restyled BMWs are gradually switching, because it is more reliable and lighter. Inside the BMW X3 you will feel like in a fairy tale, because everything is here. The list of options even includes a router! And so, the salon is beautiful, leather, it is a pleasure to be here. The car has also become even smarter: now it can hold the lane at speeds up to 210 km / h, improved climate control has appeared, and multimedia is at the highest level.
Nissan Qashqai
Let's get back down to earth and move on to the base $20,000 Nissan Qashqai. Here you will also find a miracle of efficiency, especially with a 130-horsepower turbo engine, where fuel consumption in the combined cycle is less than 5 liters. Of course, with other engines, the figure is not so striking: 7 liters with a penny for 2-liter gasoline engines and 6.5 for the 1.2 turbo version. At the same time, the use of a variator makes it possible to reduce even these indicators. It is worth noting that a 130 hp diesel turbo engine. available only with front-wheel drive, but, as we already know, this is not at all critical for a modern crossover. The gearbox on the Nissan Qashqai can be either manual or automatic - it all depends solely on the configuration.
Restyling benefited the appearance of the Nissan Qashqai, because the headlights have become more attractive, and the radiator grille looks fresher. In general, the car looks good. If we talk about off-road performance, then, again, they are trying to solve the problem of bad roads not with a drive, but with electronic systems, which is quite logical and justified. There are versions of the Nissan Qashqai 2017 with all-wheel drive, but if you buy a car with a similar level of efficiency, the 4x4 format will simply be meaningless, because it increases consumption, depriving the Nissan Qashqai 2017 of a powerful trump card. In the interior of the car is very pleasant to be. Yes, there is nothing particularly original here, but every detail is thought out and executed with high quality, which is traditional for the Japanese. We note the appearance of a 360-degree viewing system, various additions in the field of multimedia.
Kia Sportage
In the price range from 22 to 30 thousand, the last person on the list is also located, which includes the most economical crossovers of 2019 - Kia Sportage. The car got here solely for its 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine and 177 hp, which allows you to spend only 6.3 liters of fuel per 100 km. Other engines here are gasoline, they do not consume less than 8 liters, so they are of less interest to us. The gearbox on the Kia Sportage can be both mechanical and automatic, specifically in the turbodiesel version it is the automatic. It is also impossible not to say that this particular version of the car is the most expensive.
Kia Sportage differs from the same Qashqai in that the drive here is exceptionally full, so it was much more difficult for Koreans to achieve such an indicator of efficiency. In general, this car is more passable and versatile, but in terms of dynamics it is slightly inferior to the Japanese. Running here is at an excellent level, you can be sure that there will be no problems with it for a very long time. The new generation Kia Sportage has a very controversial design of the hood, not everyone likes the design of the headlights and the entire front end, but there are also many fans of such solutions, that is, the design of the Sportage is not for everybody. Inside, a traditional Asian salon awaits us, in which a minimum of chic and a maximum of functionality, as usual, you will be pleased with cruise control and other miracles.
Results
Our list of economical utility vehicles looks like this. Premium cars like BMW and Audi will not be the choice for those who want to save on fuel, but for people who care about the environment, because we don’t even think that owners of such cars can save on fuel. The rest of the cars have their trump cards: if you want to look bright and stylish, then you should buy a Peugeot, if you value comfort, then Qashqai will be the best choice, and if off-road performance is dear to you, then Kia is the ideal choice.
An article about the 10 most economical crossovers, their features and specifications. At the end of the article - a video about 5 economical cars in terms of fuel consumption.
Many crossovers have caught up with each other in terms of build quality, cross-country ability and reliability, so it is quite difficult to compare them with each other according to these criteria. Then we will select cars according to the level of fuel consumption, which is especially important given today's high cost of fuel.
Rating of economical crossovers
1. Diesel Renault Captur
The French know how to make practical and economical cars, including crossovers that are so popular now. Diesel Renault Kaptur is one of the most budget models in the world, whose turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with a 5-speed gearbox consumes a ridiculous amount of fuel - 3.6 liters. for a hundred kilometers.
Thanks to the streamlined body, even a 90-horsepower engine accelerates to 170 km / h in 13.1 seconds. And enhanced fuel economy is facilitated by the Eco Mode system, which reduces fuel consumption by as much as 12%. This result is achieved by optimizing the fuel supply, which focuses on the driving style of the car owner and the speed of movement.
Car owners note a reliable engine and gearbox, high-quality paintwork, running and braking systems, which do not cause any complaints during operation. Given the deep unification with Duster and Logan, the purchase of spare parts and maintenance will not be a big deal.
2 Peugeot 2008
"Silver medal" also went to the French car industry. The mini crossover is the younger brother of Peugeot, known as the "208". The 82-horsepower diesel engine consumes only 4 liters of fuel, which is applicable mainly in urban mode. On the track, and even more so off-road, this car will be underpowered and impractical.
Oil consumption directly depends on the owner's driving style, front pads and brake discs and after 20 thousand km. remain like new, and the rear pads even after 80 thousand km. will not require replacement. The clutch resource is about 120 thousand km., And the most laudatory reviews go to factory tires, which literally have no wear.
3 Nissan Juke
"Bronze" gets a Japanese diesel, consuming 4.2 liters while driving around the city. In traffic jams, when the driver rarely uses the gas pedal, it is recommended to activate the ECO mode to control fuel consumption.
Unlike the previous competitor, it has good off-road qualities, which is especially pronounced on all-wheel drive vehicles. A reliable suspension will not bother the owner for at least 120 thousand km, and all other parts, components and assemblies for the first 3 years will not require either replacement or repair. The big advantage is the unpretentiousness to fuel, the reviews of the owners indicate invariably smooth movement with any quality of the filled fuel.
The maintenance of this model is quite budgetary, although the design of the machine is not very suitable for self-repair.
Very worthy technical equipment, interesting appearance and cost-effectiveness guarantee it a consistently high consumer demand.
4. Suzuki SX4
This crossover can be called a "gray mouse" compared to other SUVs. Compact, moderately dynamic, absolutely inconspicuous outwardly, it consumes about 4.4 liters on a diesel engine.
Car owners note that subject to scheduled technical inspections, the car may not break down for 7-10 years. High-quality assembly, durability of the battery, pads and other parts, combined with good interior equipment, attract lovers of good savings without sacrificing functionality and dynamism.
5. Mercedes GLA 200 CDI
The family is considered the elite in the automotive market, which immediately hangs on it the stereotype of high cost. With regard to this crossover, this is completely wrong.
The German representative's 136-horsepower diesel engine requires only 4.5 liters, and its aerodynamic body helps to further reduce fuel consumption.
Some drivers complain about the "sluggishness" of the car, although in practice the transmission did not reveal any shortcomings. But during the experimental Mercedes GLA competition with Lexus, she showed excellent efficiency: on the track, she consumed 7.4 liters compared to 8.8 liters of her rival, which gave Mercedes a huge advantage over the consumer.
Maintaining a car will require some investment, but that's if something breaks. In the absence of overloads and respect for the car, the German quality of production and assembly will provide many years of pleasant operation with savings on fuel and transport tax.
6 Mini Cooper Countryman
The British are not very popular among the people, especially in comparison with the Japanese and Germans, but this model is worthy of close attention. It has a high ground clearance and no all-wheel drive, but the diesel engine eats up only 4.6 liters. This is a nimble, well-controlled, compact, budget-friendly city car. Of course, its design has more flaws than its competitors, and factory “sores” are not excluded, but maintenance will cost much less than the same Mercedes GLA.
Economy coupled with agility make Countryman ownership simple and enjoyable.
7 Opel Mokka
It can compete with Peugeot 2008 in terms of miniaturization. However, this model, based on the Opel Corsa, has a good luggage compartment and easily accommodates three people in the back seat. Not bad in terms of dynamics, a 1.7-liter 130-horsepower engine consumes 4.9 liters of fuel and is of excellent quality. The car is designed for long, reliable operation, even at the first scheduled maintenance, it is often not necessary to change anything - the parts remain practically new.
The crossover is not afraid of long journeys with bulky luggage - bicycles, sports equipment, orthopedic chairs, and also does not lose face on country roads.
8 Citroen C4 Aircross
The car is a symbiosis of Mitsubishi ASX and Peugeot 4008, but has a very interesting design and excellent fuel consumption - 4.9 liters for a 2-liter 150-horsepower engine. Unlike the "parents", the model has improved aerodynamics and transmission, which reduces maintenance costs.
The owners note sufficient heavy regular disks, which are best replaced immediately with lighter ones to reduce fuel consumption and wear parts.
The sad disadvantages include a weak suspension that requires frequent repairs and excessive sensitivity to fuel quality, which also leads to unnecessary expenses for the car owner.
9 Nissan Qashqai
One of the automaker's most popular models has a turbocharged, diesel 1.6-liter, 130-horsepower engine requiring 4.9 liters, accelerating in 11 seconds to 183 km / h.
With each new generation, the car becomes more and more aerodynamic, and at the same time a vibration compensation system that suppresses excessive swaying during fast driving.
The quality of the paintwork has not proven itself very well, which will have to be carefully monitored and all chips and scratches removed in a timely manner, as well as the variator, which quickly fails even with careful handling. After 70-80 thousand km, the interior will also require updating, the plastic of which also leaves much to be desired. But the power units deserve the highest rating for the ability of trouble-free operation over 300-400 thousand km.
Otherwise, the car is not satisfactory, especially in the presence of the Eco Mode, which pleasantly pleases with fuel economy.
10. Gasoline Renault Captur
This model has already appeared in the ranking, but in last place it is presented with a gasoline engine. The French automaker is very serious about improving the efficiency of its vehicles, as evidenced by countless upgrades and test drives. Claimed fuel consumption on the Kaptur actually turned out to be even slightly higher than actually shown during testing.
The largest indicator among all the above automobile representatives - 5 liters per hundred kilometers - is justified by a significantly greater dynamism of movement. Even a small 1.2-liter 120-horsepower engine accelerates the car to 192 km / h. He prefers more expensive 95 gasoline, as there are cases of catalyst burnout from the use of 92 gasoline.
The owners of the model are distinguished by excellent unpretentiousness and endurance in all situations. The suspension is well thought out for Russian roads and does not require frequent replacement.
Some car owners are skeptical about fuel-efficient cars, knowing that they reach its automaker in many ways. For example, they reduce the weight of the machine due to lighter materials, which worsens the overall reliability and sound insulation. On the other hand, if you compare the technical performance of these crossovers with many sedans or hatchbacks, the gain for the family budget will be such that it is worth putting up with a couple of extra noises.
