Six best mileage cars in India: Maruti Swift to Toyota Prius

Maruti Swift - 28.4 kmpl

* Price: INR 5.14 lakh - INR 8.89 lakh
The 2018 Maruti Swift is supported by Suzuki’s novel HEARTECH platform, which helps the hatchback decrease its kerb weight by nearly 90 Kg. The diesel version of the vehicle receives its power from a 1.3-litre DDiS 190 engine which is good for 74 BHP against 190 Nm.

One of the major reasons which explain why this hatchback is the best-selling car in India is its wonderful fuel mileage, which is up to 28.4 kmpl for the diesel version, which helps the Maruti Swift become the best mileage diesel car in India. The latest-gen Maruti Swift comes with a 5-speed MT and AGS transmission.

The best-selling Maruti Swift comes with a stunning fuel mileage of 28.4 kmpl on the diesel version.

Maruti Dzire - 28.4 kmpl

* Price: INR 5.7 lakh - INR 9.55 lakh
Despite borrowing the 1.3-litre diesel motor from the outgoing model, the diesel version of the Maruti Dzire has managed to increase its fuel mileage to 28.4 kmpl which is equal to that of the Maruti Swift. This remarkable improvement in fuel mileage can be partially explained by the HEARTECH platform shared with the Swift.

The current Dzire diesel is powered by a 1.3-litre DDiS motor which can generate a maximum power of 74 BHP and a peak torque of 190 Nm. The transmission duties are undertaken by a 5-speed MT and AMT unit.

Honda Jazz - 27.3 kmpl

* Price: INR 7.42 lakh - INR 9.36 lakh
Honda has made every endeavour to make the second-gen Jazz become one of the most popular sedans with the Indian auto customers. With this new generation, the Japanese automaker not only lowers the price but also adds a new diesel motor to the engine options. This new engine also powers the Amaze, City and the Mobilio and delivers a claimed fuel mileage of 27.3 kmpl, which helps the Jazz become one of the most fuel-efficient cars in India.

The 1.5-litre iDTEC diesel engine can produce a maximum power/torque figure of 98.6 BHP/200 Nm. This motor has a high HVH level, which partially explains for its unmatched popularity with its direct rival, the Hyundai Elite i20.

Tata Tiago - 27.28 kmpl

* Price: INR 4.4 lakh - INR 6.62 lakh
The 1.5-litre oil burner of the Tiago returns a stunning ARAI-certified mileage of 27.28 kmpl. This motor is good for a maximum power of 69 BHP against a peak torque of 140 Nm and is coupled with a 5-speed MT unit.

Tata has set high expectations for this hatchback and hoped that it would retain some market shares which the domestic automaker has lost in the past few years. With a decent fuel mileage, the Tata Tiago has lived up to its manufacturer’s expectations with a stable position in the hatchback segment.

Toyota Prius - 26.27 kmpl

* Price: INR 45.33 lakh
With a price of over INR 40 lakh, the Toyota Prius is the most expensive vehicle in our list. The hybrid powertrain helps the Prius return a fuel mileage of 26.26 kmpl, which makes it become the best mileage petrol car in India.
