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.
Wagon
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.

City: 8.5 L/100km
Highway: 6.3 L/100km
Combined: 7.5 L/100km
Minivan
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. They have plenty of storage, often featuring adjustable interiors to maximize space. Many come standard with an assortment of features to keep you and your family completely safe.
City: 12.9 L/100 km
Highway: 8.4 L/100 km
Combined: 10.9 L/100 km

City: 12.2 L/100 km
Highway: 9.3 L/100 km
Combined: 10.9 L/100 km
Hatchback
Similar to wagons, hatchbacks are designed for families and drivers who have active lifestyles. Offering an abundance of storage space with sporty handling, these vehicles are a truly versatile option.
City: 6.4 L/100 km
Highway: 5.5 L/100 km
Combined: 6.0 L/100 km
City: 1.9 Lₑ/100 km
