Top 5 Hybrid Cars with Lowest Energy Consumption!

1st place: Hybrid Toyota Yaris (98 g) First place

Unsurprisingly, the city car ranks first in the ranking. With its small size, the Toyota Yaris hybrid (98 g) Première is very economical! Japanese manufacturer Toyota shows with its Yaris hybrid that it has not lost its hybrid experience.

Recall Toyota with its Prius - Historical Specialist for Classic Hybrid Vehicles ... Moreover, it is interesting to note that the technology of his small city car is practically the same as that found on the 1997 Prius: an Atkinson cycle heat engine, a planetary variator gearbox, etc. The Yaris has significantly improved the driving pleasure that city cars often lack.

The Japanese manufacturer Yaris has survived the years successfully. We almost forget that the first Yaris dates back to ... 1999! Since its release, the Toyota Yaris has served the benchmark for city cars ... Meanwhile, a hybrid version was released in 2012. Based on the "Made in France" theme, the Yaris hybrid accounts for over half of Yaris sales.

Compared to the previous model, the new Yaris has a four-cylinder heat engine. However, its power has increased from 92 hp. and 120 Nm versus 75 hp. and 11 Nm earlier. With more powerful electric motors and a lighter battery, the new Yaris performs much better than the previous model. Its capacity increased by 16%, and the total total power was 116 hp, and CO2 emissions have decreased by about 20%.

2nd place: Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Auto6 Executive

Its length is 4,47 m versus 2,94 m for the Toyota Yaris. Likewise Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Auto6 Executive much harder ... Its weight is 1443 kg versus only 1070 kg for Toyota Yaris!

Suffice it to say that its size didn't make it a favorite! But the Korean manufacturer has outdone itself! Indeed, Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Auto6 Executive shows excellent fuel consumption regardless of the type of trip ... As expected from classic hybrids, the highway isn't his favorite terrain. But while we expect significant consumption given its size, it is clear that the Korean sedan consumes slightly more than the Japanese city car, which is quite a feat!

On the mechanical side, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Auto6 Executive is powered by 1,6 L 105 hp. heat engine connected to electric motor 44 hp ... Its lithium-ion polymer battery has a capacity of 1,56 kWh. Its hybrid powertrain delivers smooth, all-electric travel from 3 to 4 kilometers at speeds up to 70 km / h.

In third place in this ranking is the Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD E-CVT Exclusive. It's a city car again. Admittedly, its diminutive lineup won't be to everyone's liking. However, in terms of productivity and consumption, the little Japanese girl does great things. I must say that the Honda Jazz is not a beginner. This is already fourth generation jazz , the first of which dates back to 2001. Unlike the previous version, the new jazz is now included in the manufacturer's catalog for French buyers.

In addition, with an improved windshield and slim struts, visibility is a strong point of this vehicle. Driving pleasure is also at the intersection of slight vibration sensations, flexible suspension and hydraulic mechanics. Finally, he suggests wonderful roominess especially for rear passengers.

4th place: Renault Clio 5 E-TECH Hybrid Intens

Suffice it to say that the competition between the Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD E-CVT Exclusive and the Renault Clio 5 E-TECH Hybrid Intens is very tough. The costs are the same. In fact, the Japanese city car is better than the French in the city, but worse on the highway. The technical feature of this Clio is mainly in its gearbox. Its technology does not use a clutch or synchronizer. it dog clutch robotic gearbox ... Specifically, the electric motor is responsible for stopping the motor at the desired speed and the desired speed (2 speeds), while the other rotates the wheels.

The Renault Clio 5 E-TECH Hybrid Intens is heavier than the Honda, but has a more powerful 140 hp engine. This allows him to have better overclocking performance when going from 80 to 120 km / h in 6,8 s (versus 8 seconds for the Japanese). The little Clio also demonstrates excellent versatility and better sound insulation ... Thus, the Clio is better than its Japanese counterpart on the road with 64 dBA (versus 66 dBA for Honda) and on the highway with 69 dBA (versus 71 dBA for Honda).

5 есто: Kia Niro Hybrid Premium

Kia Niro Hybrid Premium - first fully hybrid SUV in the ranking. Its last restyling dates back to June 2019. A plug-in hybrid version also exists, but the truly classic hybrid is ranked 5th.

Even though its consumption figures are not as good as those of the city cars mentioned above, it is not very respectable. Moreover, if you take into account it 1500 kg weight и length 4,35 m .

As for the engine, the Kia Niro Hybrid Premium is equipped with a 105 hp heat engine. (1,6 l) and electric motor with a power of 43,5 hp, connected to a 1,6 kWh battery.

Conclusions of this classification

Asian car makers are strong in the hybrid segment

Several conclusions follow from this classification. First of all, we see that cars from Asian manufacturers are at the forefront. This is not necessarily a surprise, as these manufacturers entered the hybridization segment very early on, or even co-invented it with Toyota.

Thus, the top five leaders include at least 4 Asian manufacturers, of which 2 are Japanese and 2 are Korean. If we expand the ranking to the 20 least consuming hybrid vehicles, we find at least 18 Asian vehicles!

First place is again taken by Toyota, which once again demonstrates its prowess in the field of hybrid technology. The good news comes from Renault with its Clio 5 E-TECH Hybrid Intens, which is on par with its Japanese counterpart, the Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD E-CVT Exclusive.

The advantage of conventional hybrids over plug-in hybrids

In addition, the rating shows that conventional hybrids are more efficient than pluggable hybrids. Admittedly, this latter segment has been a huge success with the ability to recharge at home or work. However, if we carefully compare performance in terms of consumption, it becomes clear that conventional hybrids are far more represented than plug-in hybrids.

While conventional hybrid cars are less comfortable on the highway than plug-in hybrids, they more than catch up with other terrains such as city ​​or countryside .

Hybrid, technology open to any audience

Finally, it is interesting to note that the hybrid is now open to all types of vehicles. In the top 20 least consuming hybrid cars, last is sports coupe Lexus RC 300h ... This means that the hybrid is now present in all segments!

Moreover, the five leaders included not only the townspeople. So there is a minivan and an SUV. This variety of vehicles shows that hybrid technology has advanced significantly ... Despite the emergence of excess weight, it can now be transferred to all vehicles.

Moreover, it also shows that there is real audience for hybrid or rather, multiple audiences. While this was not the case a few years ago, buyers of hybrid cars are now limited not only to city dwellers, but also to fathers and sports enthusiasts.
