                     Best Mileage Cars News 
And Ratings
Since many consumers find the high-riding allure of an SUV in a smaller, lower-cost vehicle to be 
a very alluring possibility, the compact SUV sector is a beehive of rivalry in the Indian market. 
Best mileage cars news and ratings with automakers like Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Hyundai, Skoda, 
Renault, Nissan, Mahindra, Kia, and Tata vying for a piece of the small SUV market, it might be 
challenging to determine which one provides the most economical choice. Fuel efficiency, 
however, is equally vital to them.
From lowest to greatest, we have evaluated the top ten gasoline-powered small SUVs in terms of 
fuel efficiency. Although actual efficiency may differ dependent on driving factors and driving 
habits, the list is based on official ARAI values disclosed by manufacturers. We have included the 
maximum fuel economy rating provided by each of these small SUVs' powertrain combinations 
because many of them come with an optional auto gearbox instead of the usual manual.
10 Best Mileage Cars News And Ratings
1. The Nexon from Tata
The oldest vehicle on our list and one of the best-selling SUVs in India is the Tata Nexon, which 
was first introduced in 2017. With a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder, 120-hp turbo-petrol engine that can be 
paired to a manual, AMT, or dual-clutch transmission, Tata sells the current version of the Nexon. 
With an ARAI-reported fuel economy of 17.44 kpl, the 5-speed manual model is the most fuel-
efficient choice available. The AMT and dual-clutch auto follow with 17.18 and 17.01 kpl, 
respectively.
2. The Hyundai Venue
After six years of operation, the Hyundai Venue now comes with two gasoline engine options: a 
1.2-liter normally aspirated petrol with 83 horsepower and a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol with 120 
horsepower. 
With an ARAI fuel efficiency of 18.27 kpl, the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol is the more economical option 
among these when paired with the 6-speed manual. With a stated 18.15 kpl, the 7-speed dual-
clutch automatic comes in second.
3. The Kia Syros
The newest competitor in the small SUV market is the Kia Syros. Kia has fitted the Syros with a 
single 120hp, 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that can be mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox 
or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, in contrast to the two gasoline engines available to Sonet 
purchasers. The manual and automatic versions of the Syros' gasoline engine have respective 
fuel efficiency of 18.20 and 17.68 kpl.
4. Kylaq Skoda
The Skoda Kylaq, another newcomer with remarkable ARAI fuel efficiency, was introduced in 
December 2024. Either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter auto is paired to the 
Kylaq's single 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, which produces 115 horsepower. The automatic is the 
more economical option of these two gearboxes by a significant margin of 0.63 kpl.
5. The Kia Sonet
The Kia Sonet achieves much higher fuel efficiency while sharing the same base as the Venue and 
offering the same petrol powertrain options (with the exception of some models that use an iMT gearbox 
rather than a normal manual). The Sonet had a redesign last year that increased its overall ARAI fuel 
efficiency. The most fuel-efficient petrol engine is the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol with 120 horsepower and a 7-
speed dual-clutch transmission.
6. The Nissan Magnite
Last year, the Nissan Magnite had a mid-life update that included a number of design changes. The 
Magnite's two gasoline powertrains—a 1.0-liter normally aspirated engine with 72 horsepower and a 1.0-
liter turbo engine with 100 horsepower—sturb beneath the surface. Both engines come standard with a 
5-speed manual transmission, and automatic transmissions are also offered as a CVT for the turbo and a 
5-speed AMT for the non-turbo. The only engine in the Magnite range that performs worse than the 
others in terms of fuel efficiency is the turbo-petrol CVT. The manual versions of both engines are 
incredibly close.
7. The Suzuki Brezza Maruti
Although there is just one gasoline choice available for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, it is the company's well-
known K15C 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which produces 103 horsepower and has mild-hybrid 
technology. Best mileage cars news and ratings either a 6-speed torque converter transmission or a 5-
speed manual gearbox is available for the Brezza. There is a significant difference in fuel efficiency 
between the two gearboxes; the automatic outperforms the manual by 2.42 kpl.
8. Toyota Taisor/Maruti Fronx
The badge-engineered small SUV siblings from Maruti Suzuki and Toyota, respectively, the Fronx 
and Urban Cruiser Taisor, take home the ARAI fuel economy title. In its AMT versions, both 
vehicles provide the same class-leading fuel economy of 22.80 kpl, thanks to the 90 horsepower, 
1.2-liter gasoline engine. 
When paired with a manual transmission, the 100 horsepower, 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine 
claims 21.50 kpl, which is still more fuel-efficient than the competitors.
9. The Renault Kiger
The Nissan Magnite and its brother, the Renault Kiger, have the same gasoline engine and 
transmission choices. Similar to the Magnite, the Kiger's 100 horsepower, 1.0-liter turbo engine 
uses less gasoline. The Renault small SUV is ranked higher on this list because the 5-speed 
manual Kiger variation manages to defeat the comparable Magnite model by 0.5 kpl.
10. XUV 3XO from Mahindra
The Mahindra XUV 3XO's 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine, which produces 131 horsepower, is not 
only the most powerful in the small SUV market, but it is also among the most efficient because 
of its 6-speed manual version, which achieves an ARAI rating of 20.1 kpl. Not far behind is the 
1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine with 111 horsepower that powers the base XUV 3XO models. When 
mated to a manual transmission, it produces 18.89 kpl.
