Which are the most fuel efficient petrol cars in the sub-Rs 10 lakh space? We give you the answer.

Although fuel efficiency is no longer the main criteria for most car buyers in the country, it is still an important factor while picking a vehicle. The importance of fuel efficiency becomes even more relevant when shopping in the sub-Rs 10 lakh price bracket as buyers in this segment are not really keen about splurging on fuel. So, we have compiled a list of 5 petrol cars under Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) that deliver the best fuel efficiency.

Fuel Efficiency - 23.1kmpl

Engine - 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder

Transmission - 5-speed MT/AMT

Price - Rs 4.31 lakh to Rs 5.48 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi)

The fifth-most fuel efficient petrol car on the list is the Maruti Suzuki Celerio. It uses the same 1.0-litre petrol engine that powers the Alto K10 and WagonR. The Celerio can be had with a 5-speed manual transmission. Or an AMT too, if you prefer a two-pedal setup. With both the transmission options, the Celerio returns a fuel efficiency of 23.10kmpl. What’s more, the Celerio also gets the option of a CNG kit right from the factory. So if CNG is easily accessible where you live, running the Celerio will be even more economical.

Fuel Efficiency - 23.84kmpl

Engine - 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder

Transmission - 5-speed MT/AMT

Price - Rs 4.40 lakh to Rs 6.22 / Rs 5.70 lakh to Rs 6.15 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi)

The Tiago is proof that good things do come in small packages. The compact hatchback from Tata packs features from hatchbacks a segment above and yet retails for a price that is befitting of a compact hatchback. The build quality of the hatchback is also  at par with the competition in the segment, if not better. It is an added bonus that the 1.2-litre engine of the Tiago can be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or an AMT, and both powertrain combinations return the same fuel efficiency. What’s more, the Tiago is also available in a crossover avatar called the Tiago NRG. This version comes with plastic cladding and better ground clearance.

Fuel Efficiency - 23.87kmpl

Engine - 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder, mild-hybrid system

Transmission - 5-speed MT

Price - Rs 7.22 lakh (for the Glanza) / Rs 7.25 lakh to Rs 7.87 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi)

The third spot on the list is jointly shared by the Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno. This is not a surprise as the Glanza is just a rebadged version of the Baleno. The 1.2-litre DualJet engine that is present in both the Baleno and the Glanza, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, returns a fuel efficiency of 23.87kmpl. It is important to note that the Baleno and Glanza are both offered with a choice of two petrol engines, both having a displacement of 1.2-litres, and it is the one with the mild-hybrid system that returns this fuel efficiency figure.

Fuel Efficiency - 23.95kmpl

Engine - 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder

Transmission - 5-speed MT/AMT

Price - Rs 3.66 lakh to Rs 4.44 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi)

Second on our list is the Alto K10. This hatchback is aimed at those who are looking to buy a compact hatchback but still expect peppy performance from their car. The Alto K10 can be had with either a manual or an AMT, and the fuel efficiency remains the same (23.95kmpl) with both transmission types. It can also be had a CNG kit right from the factory, which will make the Alto K10 even more economical.

Fuel Efficiency - 25.17kmpl

Engine - 0.8-litre, 3-cylinder

Transmission - 5-speed MT

Price - Rs 2.76 lakh to Rs 3.99 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi)

The most fuel efficient petrol car under Rs 10 lakh is the Kwid. The small hatchback from Renault can be had with two petrol engines (0.8-litre/1.0-litre), but it is the smaller motor that is the subject of attention here. It can only be had with a 5-speed manual transmission, which when paired with the 0.8-litre engine returns over 25kmpl. The Kwid is decently specced too, packing features like a touchscreen infotainment system that has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
