Top 10: Real MPG cars of 2018
Which cars got closest to matching their official economy figures in 2018? We've crunched the Real MPG figures for the past 12 months to uncover the best models.
Please note that these fuel economy figures are based on 2018 Real MPG submissions and may not reflect the overall averages that are shown in Real MPG. Where figures for the same engine vary (often due to different trim levels), we have used an average.

Suzuki Vitara 1.6
Official average: 51.4mpg
The third Suzuki to feature in the 2018's best Real MPG cars, the Vitara has just been facelifted and the 1.6-litre petrol engine actually replaced by a 1.0 and 1.4 Boosterjet engine. But it's the older engine that is a star when it comes to Real MPG, returning close to 47mpg, 90 per cent of its claimed figure. We think plenty of owners will be keen to hold on theirs for a few years yet.

I agree that the Mazda 2 is indeed known for its impressive handling capabilities among small cars. The suspension setup provides a balance between comfort and precise handling, while the steering is direct and accurate, allowing for an engaging driving experience. In terms of running costs, the Mazda 2 proves to be economical. What's your thoughts about BMW x3 and x5. You can read a guide here https://truecarexpert.com/comparison/bmw-x3-vs-x5/
The 1.5-liter petrol engine with 115PS offers a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. However, it's worth noting that this more powerful version is also the most expensive option within the lineup. If budget is a concern, the lower powered versions of the Mazda 2 still offer good fuel efficiency and represent a better value proposition in our professional opinion.|
