Popular among motorists, petrol models still have some fuel budget concerns. Auto Plus selected for you the most sober, but reliable, and noted those that turned out to be voracious

Renault Captur (0.9 TCe 90 – 6.9 l/100 km)

Saw an Intens (2014, 128,000 km) for €7,900

Much more reliable than its big brother, the 1.2 TCe 120, and affordable, Captur 0.9 TCe 90 is a good choice for those who want to drive a small SUV without breaking the bank. Sure, it lacks a bit of low-end torque (better since 2017), but he shows good will. Enough to take advantage of Renault’s versatility, which is equipped with a sliding seat in the entire range (344 to 444 dm3 trunk). Very often in advertising, the intense coverage of Intens is slightly more expensive than Life and Zenand sporty clean looks (aluminum wheels, two-tone paint) and full equipment (GPS, removable seats, reversing radar, automatic headlights and wipers, etc.).

Mazda CX-3 (2.0 Skyactiv-G 120 hp – 6.8 l/100 km)

Saw Dynamique (2016, 92,000 km) for €12,900

Don’t be fooled by its deceptive size (4.28 m long). Not to its unusual cylinder volume. With its 2.0 with a capacity of 120 hp. The CX-3 manages to be among the most sober in the category while still offering great driving pleasure. On board, if space seems disappointing, equipment is enough to satisfy the most demanding (reversing radar, GPS, heated seats, car LED headlights, etc.).

Models to avoid

Fiat 500 X (1.6 e-Torq 110 hp – 8.8 l/100 km): heavier than its rivals, The 500 X shows high levels of consumption with this classic four-cylinder engine without superchargingdespite a very average performance.

Opel Mokka (1.4 Turbo 140 hp – 8.2 l/100 km): already very demanding on traction with a manual gearbox, Mokka 1.4 petrol is a bottomless pit with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission : consider an average of 9.5 l/100 km!
