Cars that will save you money on fuel
BMW 330e – 217.3mpg
The BMW 330e is a shining example that economical hybrid cars can still deliver an exciting driving experience. It combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, offering robust acceleration alongside impressive fuel efficiency.
The 330e plug-in hybrid is the standout in the BMW 3 Series lineup, known for its ability to operate on pure-electric power for up to 30 miles and achieve over 100 miles per gallon (on paper).
Like the rest of the BMW 3 Series, the 330e boasts a high-quality interior filled with cutting-edge technology. Additionally, used BMW models often come with attractive deals.
Toyota Prius – 235.4mpg (Plug-In Hybrid)
Toyota offers both self-charging and plug-in hybrid versions of the Prius, with the latter delivering an impressive official economy of 235.4mpg—assuming you keep the battery charged.
The self-charging Prius, which doesn’t require a plug, is more affordable on the used car market and achieves nearly 70mpg, according to Toyota. Plug-in hybrid models can travel short distances on electric-only power.
Suzuki Swift – 64.0mpg
All current models of the Suzuki Swift supermini feature the brand’s ‘Boosterjet’ hybrid engine, which includes a mild hybrid system. This setup allows the electric motor to assist the petrol engine, reducing the engine’s workload and enhancing fuel efficiency.
While the Swift can’t run solely on electric power, the mild hybrid system improves overall economy and provides an extra boost during acceleration.
Toyota Corolla Touring Sports – 63.8mpg
After a brief hiatus from the UK market, the Toyota Corolla is back, now with hybrid options that make it better than ever. The Touring Sports (estate) version, along with the hatchback, offers a well-balanced driving experience with finely tuned suspension and handling.
Every model is well-equipped, with a choice between two petrol-hybrid engines (1.8-litre or 2.0-litre) capable of achieving up to 63.8mpg.
Hyundai IONIQ – 60.0mpg
Similar to the Toyota Prius, the Hyundai IONIQ is available in both self-charging and plug-in hybrid versions, though the plug-in variant offers better value as a used car.
The IONIQ pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, enabling it to travel up to 39 miles on a single charge.
