The BMW M2 MPG figure probably isn't the first specification enthusiasts look at when shopping for BMW's smallest full-fat M car. Horsepower? Absolutely. Zero-to-60 times? Of course. Manual transmission availability? Definitely. Fuel economy tends to arrive a little later in the conversation. Yet once we…

The Leapmotor C10 real world range is one of the most important numbers to understand before buying this electric family SUV. And, as usual with EVs, the number printed in the brochure only tells part of the story. On paper, the original 69.9 kWh rear-wheel-drive…

The Mazda CX-9 fuel economy story is more interesting than a simple MPG number suggests. This is a three-row SUV with space for the family, a turbocharged engine, and—on many versions—all-wheel drive. That sounds like the recipe for frequent fuel-station visits. Yet the CX-9 manages…

The Nissan X-Trail hybrid fuel consumption figures look attractive on paper, but how efficient is this family SUV once we leave the laboratory and join real traffic? That is the question that matters. The latest X-Trail e-POWER takes an unusual route to hybrid efficiency. Unlike…

The Alfa Romeo Tonale driving modes are more than a few letters surrounding a rotary selector. They are part of Alfa Romeo's long-running DNA philosophy: give the driver one simple control that changes how the vehicle responds, rather than burying dozens of settings inside touchscreen…

The Audi A6 MPG story is more interesting than a single number on a specification sheet. The A6 has spent decades balancing two goals that do not always play nicely together: effortless luxury and sensible fuel consumption. That matters because an Audi A6 is not…

The Kia Carnival fuel consumption story is more interesting than a single MPG figure suggests. This is a large, family-focused MPV with three rows of seating, a spacious cabin, and enough versatility to swallow luggage, groceries, sports equipment, and the occasional mountain of vacation gear.…

The Hyundai Palisade diesel fuel economy story is interesting because we are asking a very large three-row SUV to do something that big family vehicles are not naturally famous for: travel long distances without drinking fuel like a thirsty elephant. Fortunately, the 2.2-litre CRDi turbo-diesel…

When we look at Subaru Impreza km per litre figures, there is no single number that applies to every Impreza ever sold. Engine size, transmission, model year, driving environment, tyre pressure, temperature, traffic, and even how aggressively we use the accelerator can change the result.…

Fuel economy can make or break the ownership experience of a compact car. A vehicle might look affordable on the dealer lot, but if it drinks fuel like a thirsty pickup truck, those savings disappear surprisingly fast. Fortunately, Subaru Impreza fuel economy has traditionally been…
