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.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

At the top of the world at 5,600 meters in the Atacama Desert, an unprecedented telescope begins to operate and could rewrite everything we know about the cold universe, the Big Bang, and the origin of galaxies.

Exports give a boost to Brazilian agribusiness and maintained its strength in January, with proteins, vegetable oils, food, and beverages offsetting some of the losses in sectors that depend more on the domestic market.

Todd Energy will drill an extreme geothermal well up to 6 km deep in New Zealand in search of superheated fluids, facing heat, pressure, and corrosive fluids at depths almost twice that of conventional wells.

Electricity bills rise for 22 million Brazilians in 8 states after Aneel’s decision, the increase reaches over 15%; see if your state is on the list!

Correios are seeking more money from banks, but say they don’t need to use the R$ 8 billion billion-dollar limit.
