Most Fuel Efficient SUV Cars in India – Ford EcoSport – 23 KMPL
As a package, the EcoSport gets almost everything spot on – looks, features, engine, driving dynamics, etc. Recently, Ecosport got ‘S’ and ‘Signature Edition’ variants in its line up.

There is also a dual-clutch automatic transmission on offer, but only with the 1.5-litre petrol. The 1.5-litre diesel boasts of a claimed mileage of 23 KMPL.
