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.

Tiggo 7 Pro drops to eighth place

Among the changes in the 2026 ranking, the Caoa Chery Tiggo 7 Pro appears in eighth position, with consumption of 0.91 MJ/km and a price of R$ 169,990.

The comparison with the BYD King GS shows a significant difference: the leader consumes almost half the energy per kilometer compared to the Tiggo 7 Pro.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

It was neither a crash nor abandonment; this retired plane left the airport in parts, crossed Costa Rica on trucks, and ended up becoming a suite in the heights with daily rates exceeding R$ 2,000.

At 22 years old, a young person from Recife creates an artificial intelligence startup with a team barely over 25, serves giants like Bayer and Ipiranga, earns millions without taking a cent from investors, and transforms a young company into a national AI phenomenon.

She panicked when she saw her daughter fall from the crib; years later, she turned the experience into a factory generating R$ 9 million per year.

At 75 years old, João José de Carvalho, known as Mr. Janjão, was accepted for the second time by Sisu after overcoming distance, physical limitations, and years away from school, to fulfill his dream of studying Biological Sciences at UFPI.

The invisible danger inside the house: plugging too many devices into the same outlet and spreading extensions throughout the rooms can overload the electrical network, silently heat wires, and turn a common habit into one of the leading causes of house fires.
