<\/p>\nBefore we start, what exactly is a fuel-efficient SUV? Okay, he must have a little brother guzzling fuel. But where is the limit? Is that with an average consumption of 1 in 15? Or maybe 1 in 20? The fact is that an SUV stands higher on its wheels than a traditional car and its design is often wider, more angular and even bulkier. That is cool, but for the streamline and so the consumption is such a chunky appearance less favorable. Check out the photo of the Ford Expedition below and you’ll understand what we mean.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you want to drive as economically as possible, a car that looks like a moving suppository is the best solution. Or as a drop, that counts too. Take a good look at the Toyota Prius<\/a> (see photo below), Hyundai Ioniq<\/a> and the former Honda<\/a> Insight. The solar-powered Lightyear One also looks so streamlined for a reason. If you still want an SUV, then you are already 1-0 behind. So keep in mind that you are at the pump at least more often than a Prius driver.<\/p>\n Nowadays, the SUV is not reserved for the higher market segment (like the PC Hooft tractors mentioned earlier), but there are SUVs in all shapes and sizes. Suzuki<\/a> even calls its Ignis<\/a> an ultra compact SUV, which is the smallest model Suzuki has! The Toyota Yaris Cross<\/a> is also an SUV, even if it is in the second smallest segment (B) of the market.<\/p>\n Smaller is usually more fuel efficient, so hang in there: Here are 10 examples of a fuel-efficient petrol SUV that, as you’ll see, can also be a whopper.<\/p>\n We said it already: according to Suzuki, the Ignis is an SUV. Ultra-compact indeed, but still. The 3.7 meter long\/short Ignis is definitely economical. The manufacturer’s specification is 1 in 20.5 on average. This is partly made possible by a 1.2-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with (mild) hybrid drive to further reduce consumption. Unlike other larger SUVs, the small Ignis is even available as a 4\u00d74.<\/p>\n Can an SUV weighing more than two tons and almost five meters long be economical? Toyota proves it with the Highlander<\/a> . A bear of an SUV as we really only know it in America, has come to Europe because of its hybrid drive. Admit it: 1 to 15.1 average (Style, manufacturer) is definitely economical for an SUV of this size. With room for even seven passengers.<\/p>\n An intermediate buddy: the Hyundai Kona<\/a> . With a consumption of around 1 in 20 on average, according to its maker. This applies to the Kona Hybrid by the way; the Kona is also available as an all-electric SUV. The six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission has been developed for optimum fuel efficiency, Hyundai says. 4\u00d74 drive you have to think about; the Kona Hybrid is only available with front-wheel drive.<\/p>\n With a Seat Arona<\/a> you have to get 1 to 18.5 on average, claims Seat. Then you drive a compact SUV (4.15 m long) with a three-cylinder petrol engine with 70 kW\/95 hp. The Arona looks slightly different because of the rising side window and roof spoiler. Combine the body color with a white, gray or black roof and you drive even more striking.<\/p>\n An economical SUV in the premium class with an average consumption of more than 1 in 50. Excuse me? Yes, the BMW X1<\/a> is available as a plug-in hybrid. On paper, it drives more than 1 in 50, says BMW. But because in practice you do not always drive on the battery, but on the 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine, you have to take this consumption with a large grain of salt. Rather, count on 1 in 12 or something like that.<\/p>\n If you are looking for an economical SUV, you cannot ignore Toyota. The brand has become big with its economical hybrid drive. The Yaris Cross<\/a> is also available as a Hybrid. Then you drive according to Toyota just 1 in 22.7 on average. Although in theory, the Toyota hybrid models are known for being economical in practice. The larger and more spacious SUV RAV4 is also available as a Hybrid (1 on 17.8 on average).<\/p>\n A popular SUV for many years and as an E-Tech Hybrid, it is also extra economical. Renault gives an average consumption of 1 in 20. The Captur starts fully electrically and the battery charges itself while driving. Self-charging is therefore not necessary, but that also applies to the hybrid models from Toyota. The Renault Captur has<\/a> two electric motors; the system power is 103 kW\/140 hp.<\/p>\n Times are changing: in the 90s the Ford Puma<\/a> was a compact sports car with a not undeserved handling, today it is a compact SUV that is extra economical as an Ecoboost Hybrid, namely almost 1 in 19. That not without merit has remained by the way. You don’t have to be ashamed of an acceleration of 9.8 seconds from standstill to 100 km\/h.<\/p>\n The SUV with a sloping roofline has also found its way to the lower segments. Take the Volkswagen Taigo<\/a> , which is essentially a coup\u00e9 SUV and sister model to the T-Cross. As a 1.0 TSI with 70 kW\/95 hp, the T-Cross flattened at the back has a theoretical consumption of 1 to 18 (automatic). That is certainly economical, since the Taigo is not a hybrid.<\/p>\n![\"Toyota](\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Toyota-Prius-1280x960.jpg\")
