Fuel prices largely affect the design of new auto cars in India. When petrol was down at below Rs. 40 at the turn of the millennium, the large fuel guzzling SUVs were the popular vehicle of choice because people could afford to drive them. But, in today's cost-cutting measure, people are opting for cars aimed at fuel efficiency. What are the most fuel efficient cars on the Indian road today? This question is wobbling in the minds of many who use cars for daily commuting. It is no inscrutability that small cars are by far the most fuel efficient.
Car of the Year in 2009, Hyundai i10, with a very extraordinary mileage of 20.4 kmpl tops the list of thrifty fuel sippers among all new auto cars in India. Amazingly, the i10 not only leads as one of the most fuel efficient cars, but also with power. This goes a long way to be evidence for how technically sophisticated Hyundai's Kappa engine is. The 1.2 liter engine generates 80 PS at 6000 rpm and has the highest torque of 111NM at 4000 rpm. The i10 also has a well thought-of power to weight ratio, which resultantly and undoubtedly the most fuel efficient car.
One of the biggest selling new auto cars in India, the new Alto K10 is doubtlessly, the competition to Hyundai's best selling i10. With an overall fuel economy rating of 20.2 kmpl, Alto K10 is another one of the most efficient cars among compact cars. K10 is great to use for city driving. According to estimates, it fares more suitable in the city when it comes to mileage than when used on the highway. But with its fabulous engine performance, it has managed to uphold its place among the most fuel efficient cars available today.
Wagon R, A-star, Indica V2 Xeta, and Mahindra Renault Logan are also among the new auto cars in India that earn excellent fuel mileage. Thus, with so many options and large difference in prices, it sometimes becomes hard to pick even the most fuel efficient car.
