BYD King GS leads the energy efficiency ranking in 2026 with consumption of 0.49 MJ/km, ahead of electrified models from Geely and BYD itself, reinforcing the competition for economy in Brazil

The BYD King GS is the most economical car in Brazil in 2026, with an energy consumption of 0.49 MJ/km and a price of R$ 175,990. The result places the Chinese brand’s electric vehicle at the top of the national energy efficiency ranking and reinforces the advancement of electrified vehicles among the most efficient models for sale in the country.

BYD King GS takes the lead in energy efficiency

The main data of the ranking is the consumption of 0.49 MJ/km of the BYD King GS. The number represents the amount of energy used by the vehicle per kilometer driven and places the model in the first position among the most economical cars of 2026.

Besides the energy performance, the price also draws attention. The model costs R$ 175,990, equivalent to about 108.5 minimum wages, considering the current minimum wage of R$ 1,621.

Electric and plug-in hybrids dominate the top positions

The leadership of the BYD King GS occurs in a scenario of strong presence of electrified vehicles at the top of the list. BYD also appears with other models among the ten most economical in the country in 2026.

In second place is the Geely EX5 EM-i, with consumption of 0.55 MJ/km and a price of R$ 234,990. In third place is the BYD Song Plus GS, which records 0.58 MJ/km and costs R$ 249,990.

Electrified technology weighs in the result

The top three have in common the use of heavy electrification, whether in pure electric models or plug-in hybrids. This pattern shows that the competition for energy efficiency in the national market is concentrated on vehicles that reduce consumption per kilometer.

The difference between the numbers also helps to gauge the leader’s advantage. The BYD King GS consumes less energy per kilometer than the models that complete the podium.
