The best MPG Cars on the market

When buying a new car, there’s a few deciding factors that should be thoroughly thought about before you get behind the wheel of your new vehicle. Your next car should be heavily influenced by its fuel efficiency or MPG (miles per gallon). It’s a straightforward cost-benefit analysis: the more fuel-efficient the vehicle, the more money you’ll save on each trip. 

We should probably explain before we proceed, that because everyone drives differently, a car’s fuel efficiency will vary depending on who is behind the wheel. A city commuter might, for instance, have a heavier foot than a grandmother, but that isn’t necessarily the case every time. When researching ‘the best MPG’ you will want to take into account your driving style and how you will be using the vehicle. 

Therefore, we at Advanced Vehicle Leasing have made it simple and found the best MPG cars on the market for each type of driver. So, if you’re looking for a car with good fuel economy, keep reading.

Safety Conscious Vehicle |  Peugeot 208 1.6-litre 

When it comes to sleek appearance and safety features, there is no better choice than the Peugeot 208. It easily surpasses competitors with its traditional styling and amazing MPG. The inside is also among the best in its class, featuring a sleek dashboard design and a wealth of soft-touch materials.

The 208 has a number of safety features, and despite its size, it has a decent amount of interior room. Let’s get to the fuel economy figures, with the 1.6 litre diesel engine achieving 67.4mpg, this is an excellent choice for those who value safety and fuel prices.

MPG figures: 1.6-litre diesel engine will achieve 67.4 mpg.

Lease Prices: Lease prices start at £244.

The Corporate Driver | Mercedes C-Class

The brand new 2022 Mercedes C-Class is excellent in every area, and is no entry-level vehicle. Despite having the same basic structure as the last C-Class model, practically every component has been upgraded or replaced.

Mercedes has brought the C-Class’s looks into line with the rest of its lineup in addition to the mechanical improvements. The Mercedes C-Class could be a good option for you if you want a four-door showstopper to take you to any and all client meetings. But, how good is this diesel car on fuel economy?

MPG figures: 2.0-litre diesel engine will achieve 53.3 – 62.8 mpg. 

Lease Prices: Lease prices start at £583.

The Eco-friendly Driver |  Toyota Prius Plug-in

The ground-breaking hybrid Toyota Prius is one of the best hybrid plug-ins on the market. The plug-in hybrid had a 30-mile electric-only range and an average fuel efficiency of 217 mpg and whilst the Prius has a 1.8-litre petrol engine, it is surprisingly upscale and pleasant when driving. 

The ride is also rather smooth, firming up over bigger bumps and other road imperfections but remaining supple enough to keep passengers happy on lengthy trips. Electric-powered cars are not for everyone but a combined mpg of 220, it would be foolish to not go for the Toyota.

MPG figures: 1.8-litre Plug-in has a combined 220 mpg. 

Lease Prices: Lease prices start at £300. 

The Family Car | Focus Ford 1.5-litre 

If you are looking for a family car which is low on fuel consumption then there is no better option than the Ford Focus. This is a family-sized car, as opposed to a supermini but it packs a punch.

Additionally, no matter how challenging the roads are, it has superb handling and a poised feel. Your whole family will enjoy the comfort and surprising amount of room that the Ford Focus offers. It is also one of our most economical cars on our list with lease prices being considerably lower than our other options.

MPG figures: 1.5 EcoBlue will achieve 70.0 mpg. 

Lease prices: Lease prices start at £328. 

The first-time driver | Renault Clio 1.5-litre

First-time drivers will love getting behind the wheel of a brand-new Renault Clio. The Clio is a sleek vehicle that is comfortable to sit in and operate, so the miles will also be fun. The 2022 model has undergone a dramatic exterior style overhaul that keeps the old car’s well-balanced proportions while introducing an overall sharpness that has brought things right up to current. 

MPG figures: 1.5-litre will achieve 67.3 mpg 

Lease prices: Lease prices start at £230.
