Typically, when we think about fuel-efficient vehicles, we imagine compact hybrids with zippy electric engines, but what about the family with three kids who all play hockey—is there an economical option for them? Our guide will exhibit a number of vehicles that are tailored for different lifestyles, all while remaining entirely fuel efficient.
To maintain consistency and availability, all of these models are from 2017 and can be found on Kijiji Autos.

Rivalling the SUV for passenger and cargo space, wagons are a strong choice for families that need a spacious vehicle. Their aerodynamic design cuts through the air while staying close to the ground, giving the handling a sporty feel that’s comparable to a sedan or coupe.

The ideal choice for families. Minivans offer a similar driving experience to that of a sedan, but with the forward visibility of a utility vehicle.
