Toyota, Honda Fit, Converse, are you more than 4 hair per kilometer?

When it comes to buying a car, the most important factors are affordability, fuel efficiency, and reliability. After all, earning money is hard, but spending it is easy. Fuel consumption is something we deal with every single day. A car that can achieve an average of under 6 liters per 100 km would be perfect for those who want to reduce their daily fuel costs. Today, I found three great options that fit this description.

Price range: 6.98–10.68 million

Recommended model: 1.5L CVT Charm Version – 89,800

Market discount: around 10,000

This car actually has three siblings: Guangzhou Automobile, Hyun, and Vios FS. These four models are essentially the same! Toyota developed them for the Chinese low-cost market a few years ago. Many people still remember the “Coloful Days” commercial featuring Pu Shushu. This car is only sold in China, but it's very popular in Southeast Asia. It might not look great, but it's fuel-efficient, reliable, and maintenance is super cheap. Plus, it now comes with standard ESP, which is quite impressive for its class. If you can overlook its looks, it’s a solid choice for everyday use.

Price range: 7.38–11.28 million

Recommended model: 1.5L LX Comfort Type – 8.18 million

Market discount: around 3,000

If you can’t get past the first two cars, consider the Fit GK5. It’s a small car, but it packs a powerful 1.5L naturally aspirated engine—131 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful 1.5L engines on the planet. Because of this, it's widely used in racing and modifications. However, this power comes at a cost—maintenance is more expensive than other models. Still, the resale value is high, so the increased maintenance costs can be offset when you sell the car later.

Price range: 8.58–11.72 million

Recommended model: 1.6L CVT Comfort Type – 95,800

Market discount: around 12,000

If the previous two cars feel too small, take a look at the Converse. It doesn't look like a small car—it has a compact or even small MPV feel. This model has been on the market for years, and while it has seen some updates, it hasn’t changed much in essence. Its main features are comfort and fuel efficiency, but the interior space isn’t as large as it appears. The seats are a traditional strength of Nissan models, but they don’t shine here. Still, the back seat offers good comfort for long trips.

In summary:

Many people criticize Japanese cars, but there's no denying that they are among the most fuel-efficient in the world. If you have historical or emotional reasons to avoid them, that's your choice. As a car editor, I focus purely on the product and its performance, without any bias toward nationality. Japanese cars have proven themselves time and again, and they’re definitely worth considering if you're looking for a practical, efficient, and reliable vehicle.
