10 Most Fuel-Efficient Crossovers in 2025: Toyota, Suzuki, VW Lead the List
Fuel economy remains one of the most important factors when choosing a car.
Fuel efficiency continues to play a key role in car buying decisions — especially in the compact crossover segment, where drivers expect a balance of practicality and economy. The UK outlet What Car? conducted real-world tests and identified ten models with impressively low fuel consumption.
Topping the list is the Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 with a gasoline engine, averaging just 4.7 liters per 100 km (about 50 mpg US) — making it the most fuel-efficient crossover in its class.
In second place is the Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid, which returned 4.8 liters per 100 km (49 mpg US).
The Volkswagen Taigo came in third with 5.6 liters per 100 km (42 mpg US).
Here’s how the rest of the ranking looks:
- Suzuki Vitara 1.6 — 6.0 L/100 km (39 mpg US)
- Hyundai Kona Hybrid 1.6 GDi — 6.0 L/100 km (39 mpg US)
- Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 130 — 6.0 L/100 km (39 mpg US)

- Citroën C3 Aircross 1.2 PureTech 110 — 6.1 L/100 km (39 mpg US)
Experts noted that the Toyota Yaris Cross stands out not only for its fuel efficiency but also for its everyday usability, with comfortable handling and an ergonomic cabin layout.
The report also highlighted the most reliable budget cars capable of topping 186,000 miles (300,000 km) without major issues. That list included the Honda Civic, Subaru Forester, Honda Accord, Mazda6, and Toyota RAV4.
