With the continuous increase in the price of fuel, drivers are more than ever looking for sober and economical vehicles. In 2025, some cars managed to combine performance, comfort et low consumption. Here is the ranking of the 10 most effective models at the pump this year.
A trend that accelerates
Manufacturers redouble their efforts to reduce the consumption of their thermal and hybrid vehicles. Progress made on Combustion enginesl’aerodynamics and the electronic management Today allow more kilometers to be traveled with less fuel.
“In 2025, it was never so important to find a good compromise between driving pleasure and low cost of use,” explains Claire Moreauautomotive analyst.

Why these models stand out
Several factors explain the good performance of these cars:
- Optimized engines for sobriety
- Reduced weight To limit consumption
- Aerodynamics worked To reduce air resistance
- Smart hybrid systems to maximize energy efficiency
These vehicles are particularly aimed at drivers who carry out long journeys Or who wish to limit their fuel budget without switching to electric.
Hybrid or diesel: the match continues
In 2025, the duel between hybrid et diesels moderns Remain current. The hybrids dominate in town thanks to their ability to roll in electric mode over short distances, while diesels retain an advantage on the highway and long journeys thanks to their higher yield.
The choices of motorists will therefore depend on their use: urban, mixed or truck.
