Those who hit the road know the value of a car that can travel long distances without needing to stop at the gas station. SUVs have always been associated with high consumption, but technology has changed this scenario. Turbocharged, hybrid, and compact engines allow some models to deliver interior space while offering range above 650 km on a single full tank. Check out the current highlights and how to maximize fuel efficiency.
1. Volkswagen Tera
The new Volkswagen SUV surprised by combining a robust size and efficiency. With a 49-liter tank and an average consumption of 17.4 km/l on the highway, the projected range reaches 852 km. An impressive number that ensures long trips without refueling. To achieve this efficiency, it is ideal to maintain a constant speed and avoid unnecessary load in the trunk.
2. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid
The hybrid Corolla Cross brings together combustion and electric engines, optimizing every drop of gasoline. In tests, it achieves about 17 km/l on the highway. Considering the 36-liter tank, its range reaches 612 km. It falls just short of the 650 km mark, but with smooth driving and utilizing the hybrid system in urban sections, it can come close to that barrier.

3. Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0 TSI
The T-Cross is one of the most popular compact SUVs and does not disappoint in terms of consumption. Its 1.0 turbo engine delivers approximately 14.2 km/l on the highway. With a 52-liter tank, it can travel up to 738 km on gasoline. To get close to this number, use cruise control on long trips and keep the tires properly inflated.
4. Volkswagen Nivus 1.0 TSI
The Nivus is known for its bold design, but it also shows efficiency. Its average highway consumption is 13.2 km/l with gasoline. Multiplying by the 52-liter tank, the range reaches 686 km, surpassing the 650 km mark. Aerodynamics help, but the driver can contribute by maintaining speeds between 90 and 110 km/h.
5. Honda HR-V 1.5
The HR-V appears as a reliable and balanced alternative. With an average consumption of 13.9 km/l on the highway and a 50-liter tank, it can go up to 695 km on one tank. Timely maintenance and clean filters are essential for the engine to continue delivering good numbers.
6. Fiat Pulse 1.3 MT
The Pulse combines a 1.3 naturally aspirated engine and reduced weight, ensuring above-average efficiency. On the highway, it delivers 14.3 km/l with gasoline. With a 47-liter tank, it achieves 672 km of range. To maximize efficiency, prefer high-quality fuel and avoid continuous use of the air conditioning in cooler stretches.
7. Renault Kardian
The Kardian is Renault’s most recent representative and arrives competitive in the segment. Its highway consumption is 14.9 km/l, and with a 47-liter tank, it reaches 700 km of range. Properly calibrating tires and maintaining a stable speed are actions that ensure extra kilometers.
8. Nissan Kicks 1.6
The Kicks maintains its position as one of the most economical among compact SUVs. With a 41-liter tank and an average highway consumption of 14.7 km/l, it achieves approximately 602 km of range. Although below the 650 km mark, it is a well-regarded option for its affordable maintenance costs and light handling.
How to Increase Range in Any SUV
More than just factory numbers, the way you drive makes all the difference. Properly inflated tires, gradual acceleration, timely maintenance, and reducing weight in the car can add up to 10% in range. On long trips, cruise control is a great ally, as is moderate use of air conditioning.
These economical suvs prove that it is possible to travel much farther with less fuel. Some exceed 700 km comfortably, others stay at the limit, but all demonstrate that the SUV category is no longer an enemy of efficiency. The road, in these cases, becomes even more enjoyable.
