    The Toyota Wigo is one of the brand’s most fuel-efficient cars. It’s powered by a 1.0-liter gasoline engine mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic gearbox.

    In the busy city streets, the Toyota Wigo clocks in at 12kpl while it does 22kpl on the freeway.

    The Toyota Wigo is a popular choice for many new car buyers not only for its fuel-efficient engine but also for its easy maneuverability. The hot hatch is not only easy on the budget but also easy to drive, even in tight metro streets.

According to owners, the Toyota Raize consumes about 19 to 20kpl in mixed driving conditions making it a viable option for those who are looking for a fuel-efficient ride for driving in the city.

    The Toyota Raize can be had with either a 1.2-liter engine mated to a five-speed slushbox or a CVT as well as a 1.0-liter turbocharged mill mated to a CVT.

    There’s a reason why the Vios is one of the most popular choices for ride-hailing companies. Not only are Toyotas ever-reliable but models like the Vios, are also fuel-efficient. The Toyota Vios can be had with either a 1.3-liter or a 1.5-liter engine with the former being the foremost option for transport service fleets.

    It clocks in at 8.3kpl in the city and around 20 to 23kpl when driving on the highways.

    4. Toyota Avanza
