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

When it comes to buying a car, the most important thing for many people is 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 less than 6 liters per 100 kilometers would be ideal, especially when compared to the high fuel costs many face. Today, I found three cars that fit this description perfectly.

Price range: 6.98–10.68 million yuan

Recommended model: 1.5L CVT Charm version – 89,800 yuan

Market discount: around 10,000 yuan

This car actually has two siblings: Guangzhou Automobile and Vios FS. These four models are essentially the same vehicle! Toyota developed this car specifically for the Chinese low-cost market a few years ago. Many might still remember the "Coloful Days" commercial featuring Pu Shushu. This model is only sold in China, but it's very popular in Southeast Asia. Let's just say, it's not the most attractive car on the road. However, it’s fuel-efficient, reliable, and has very low maintenance costs. 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 daily driving.

Price range: 7.38–11.28 million yuan

Recommended model: 1.5L LX Comfort Type – 8.18 million yuan

Market discount: around 3,000 yuan

If you're not comfortable with the previous options, consider the Fit GK5. It's a small car, but it packs a powerful 1.5L naturally aspirated engine that delivers 131 horsepower—making it one of the most powerful engines in its class. This power makes it a favorite among both professional racers and hobbyists for track modifications. However, the high performance does come with a trade-off: higher maintenance costs. While this may reduce its fuel efficiency advantage, the car holds its value well, so any extra maintenance costs can be offset when you sell it later.

Price range: 8.58–11.72 million yuan

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

Market discount: around 12,000 yuan

If the first two cars feel too small, take a look at the Converse. It doesn’t look like a small car at all—it feels more like a compact or even a mini MPV. This model has been on the market for years, and while it has seen some updates, it remains largely the same under the hood. Its two main selling points are comfort and fuel efficiency. However, the actual interior space isn't as large as it appears, especially compared to the larger Fit. The seating is a traditional strength of Nissan models, but it doesn't shine here. Still, the rear seats offer decent comfort for everyday use.

In summary:

Many people might say these are all Japanese cars, and they’re right. But let’s not forget—Japanese cars are known worldwide for their fuel efficiency and reliability. It’s an undeniable fact. If you have historical or emotional reasons to avoid Japanese brands, that’s your choice. As a car editor, I focus purely on the product itself, without bias or nationality. After all, the best cars are the ones that work well, no matter where they come from.
