Top 5 highest mileage cars in India

Top 5 highest mileage cars in India

Fuel efficiency is a major consideration among Indian car buyers. Mass-market consumers often gravitate towards cars that deliver high mileage, which is quantified by ARAI-tested fuel efficiency ratings. Though these claimed figures aren’t indicative of real-world fuel efficiency, they offer perspective to the consumer and allow for direct comparisons and rankings.

To that end, we’ve compiled five of the highest mileage cars in India that you can currently buy. Only petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrains are included in this list since their ARAI mileage figures are tested in kilometres-per-litre (kpl). Highest mileage CNG cars in India are not covered here, as their fuel efficiency is rated in kilometres-per-kilogram (km/kg).

5. Maruti Swift

ARAI mileage: 25.75kpl

The Maruti Swift shares its frugal 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Z Series petrol engine, which produces 82hp and 112Nm, with the Dzire, but the hatchback weighs up to 35kg less than its compact sedan counterpart. That helps place the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios rival among the highest-mileage petrol cars in India, as it delivers ARAI-rated fuel efficiency figures of 25.75kpl in AMT form and 24.8kpl in manual guise. The Dzire just misses out on the fifth spot with 25.71kpl for the AMT and 24.79kpl for the MT version.

4. Maruti Celerio

ARAI mileage: 26kpl

The Maruti Celerio edges out the Swift as the highest mileage petrol car in India, recording a slightly higher ARAI rating of 26kpl when its 69hp 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine is paired with a 5-speed AMT. The entry-level Celerio LXi MT is rated at 25.24kpl, while the mid- and higher-spec variants’ claimed mileage is 24.97kpl. A big contributing factor to the Celerio's phenomenal fuel efficiency is its 810-835kg kerb weight.
