1. Volvo XC90 Petrol – 42 kmpl

Topping the charts of India’s most fuel-efficient vehicles is the Volvo XC90. Just how is that even possible?

A total of 407 horsepower and 640 Newton-meters of peak torque can be generated from the pair when paired with the 8-speed automated transmission. In under 5.6 seconds, the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

10. Maruti Alto 800 – 24.7 kmpl

I don’t understand why Maruti ranks so far down the top gas-mileage cars in India list. Because it no longer produces diesel engines, that’s why.
