Inmetro Released the 2025 Ranking of the Most Fuel-Efficient Cars in Brazil. Check Out the 5 Models That Consume the Least Fuel and Find Out Which Offers the Best Value for Money.

The Inmetro released the latest ranking of the most fuel-efficient cars in Brazil, highlighting the flex combustion models with the lowest fuel consumption in the country.

The survey assessed the performance of the vehicles in urban and highway tests, measuring both fuel consumption in kilometers per liter (km/l) and energy efficiency (MJ/km).

In a scenario of rising fuel prices, the search for fuel-efficient cars has intensified, and the new study arrives as an essential tool for those looking to save and reduce maintenance costs.

See Which Are the Most Fuel-Efficient Cars in Brazil

Chevrolet Onix: Similar Performance with a Focus on Efficiency

The model recorded between 9.8 and 12.4 km/l with ethanol and from 13.7 to 17.7 km/l with gasoline, depending on the version and the type of route.

In addition to efficiency in consumption, the Onix stands out for its balanced performance and comfort, features that have kept it among the favorites of Brazilians for years.

According to the survey, the Onix combines good energy efficiency with modern technology and affordable maintenance — factors that explain its leadership among the most fuel-efficient cars of 2025.

Onix Plus

With averages of 9.8 to 12.1 km/l with ethanol and 13.9 to 17.1 km/l with gasoline, the sedan offers virtually the same level of efficiency as the Onix hatch, with the advantage of increased interior space.

The model is designed for those seeking economy without sacrificing comfort and connectivity, combining performance, low consumption, and good drivability on both highways and city roads.

Renault Kwid: The Compact That Is Still Synonymous with Economy

Even without occupying the top spot as in previous years, the Renault Kwid remains strong among the most fuel-efficient cars of 2025.
The French compact showed averages of 10.4 to 10.8 km/l with ethanol and 14.6 to 15.5 km/l with gasoline, numbers that keep it among the best cost-benefit options on the market.

The Kwid stands out for its lightweight design and small-displacement engine, prioritizing efficiency.

Its reduced consumption makes it especially advantageous for urban use, where traffic jams and constant stops tend to increase fuel expenses.

Fiat Mobi: Urban Compact with Excellent Performance

In fourth place, the Fiat Mobi reinforces the importance of compact models among the cars with the least fuel consumption.

According to the Inmetro, it achieves averages of 9.8 to 10.6 km/l with ethanol and 14.0 to 15.1 km/l with gasoline.

These results place it among the best options for those looking for an agile, practical, and economical car for everyday urban driving.

In addition to the economy, the Mobi is valued for its low maintenance costs and strong acceptance in the used car market, factors that enhance its cost-benefit ratio.

Fiat Cronos: The Accessible and Efficient Sedan

Closing the top 5 most fuel-efficient cars of 2025, the Fiat Cronos surprises with averages close to those of smaller models.

The sedan shows from 9.7 to 11.2 km/l with ethanol and between 13.4 and 15.9 km/l with gasoline, numbers that demonstrate its balance between performance and efficiency.

Despite being a more spacious vehicle, the Cronos remains competitive in consumption and ranks as one of the most complete options among compact sedans in its category.

What Explains the Highlight of These Models in the Inmetro 2025 Ranking?

The five cars that consume the least fuel in 2025 have in common the use of compact engines, efficient electronic calibration and low structural weight, improving the relationship between power and consumption.

In addition, all are flex vehicles, capable of running on gasoline and ethanol, and were evaluated in the most economical versions available on the market.

These factors, combined with the growing demand for energy efficiency, place Brazil in a scenario of automotive renewal, focusing on economy, technology, and sustainability.

The Inmetro 2025 ranking proves that it is possible to combine low fuel consumption with comfort and technology.

The five most fuel-efficient models — Onix, Onix Plus, Kwid, Mobi, and Cronos — represent what is most efficient among flex cars in Brazil.

Choosing one of these vehicles is an intelligent way to save on a daily basis and contribute to a more sustainable automotive future.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Almost no ship sails directly between South America and Australia, and the reason is a combination of the vast distance, winds that circle the planet nonstop, and the absence of ports along the way, leaving the South Pacific as a water desert.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
