Most economical cars on sale in the UK

Auto Express names the two most economical cars on sale in the UK…and they’re both Peugeots!

Economy of a new vehicle is perhaps one of the most important factors when buying a new or used car. Buyers want to know how much their vehicle is going to cost them throughout the year. Whilst MPG figures have been criticised (due to their testing in laboratory conditions), it does allow direct comparisons between manufacturers and their models.

Thanks to the MPG Marathon though, which focuses on “most improved MPG”, there are real world drivers in the UK who prove that these figures provided are not only possible but can be improved upon.

With this in mind then, when Auto Express showcases the UK’s most economical cars of 2015, it is best to pay attention. Whilst all of the vehicles in this list display impressive figures, the difference between No 1 and No 10 on the list can be hundreds and hundreds of pounds.

Here are the UK’s most economical cars (as of October 2015)

1. Peugeot 208 1.6 Blue HDi – 94.1mpg

2. Peugeot 308 Blue HDi 100 – 91.1mpg

3. Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi – 88.3mpg

4. Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion – 88.3mpg

5. Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi – 88.3mpg

6. Renault Clio 1.5 dCi – 88.3mpg

7. Skoda Octavia Greenline – 88.3mpg

8. Ford Fiesta Econetic – 85.6mpg

9. Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi – 85.6mpg

10. SEAT Leon Ecomotive – 85.6mpg

All figures above are “combined”. This means that the testing involved both urban and extra urban driving.

Sitting proudly in the first two positions as the two most economical cars in the UK on sale are Peugeots; the 208 and 308 respectively. Fitted with the BlueHDI engines, these vehicles are far ahead of the curve and even if you don’t think a diesel engine would suit you,  Peugeot can fit their PureTech units (recently awarded Engine of the Year). These three-cylinder petrol PureTech engines can provide up to 67.3 mpgon a combined cycle. Whether you choose the BlueHDi 100 or the PureTech, you’ll be saving hundreds over the year.

Now there are two more VERY BIG reasons to test drive a new 208 and 308 BlueHDi at Charters. Choose these models on our popular Just Add Fuel plan and your running costs will be at an all time low.
