Ten fuel-efficient cars under SEK 100,000

Skyrocketing fuel prices are taking a toll on Swedish motorists. The good news is that there is an easy way to make the money last longer - to change the car. Kvdbil lists ten fuel-efficient cars that all cost under SEK 100,000.

Gasoline and diesel prices are at historically high levels and continue to burn holes in the wallets of Swedish motorists, who also have record-expensive food, electricity and sharply higher interest rates to contend with. But it is possible to influence your fuel costs, points out Daniel Odsberg, sales manager Kvdbil.

"There are many ways to reduce car costs. The quickest and easiest is to downgrade to a smaller, more fuel-efficient model. We often drive bigger and heavier cars than we really need and with that we only expose our economy to unnecessary suffering." . says Daniel Odsberg.

As an example, anyone who is willing to change from a Ford Focus combi-sedan of the 2016 model to a slightly smaller car such as the Toyota Aygo (2016), can save almost SEK 30,000 a year.

List: ten fuel-efficient models

Daniel Odsberg recommends ten models at a low price that will help you save money this winter.

Used Fiat 500 (2014)

An Italian classic that is both fuel efficient and good for the wallet. Although the car is not quite as small as the original model launched in 1957, a used Fiat 500 is a great fit for the small household. Despite its size, the spaces are also surprisingly large. The car, with its Italian charm and large panoramic roof, also offers amenities such as electric lifts and cruise control.

Approximate price: SEK 40,000 – 60,000

Estimated fuel consumption: 4.2 liters/100 km (105 hp, petrol)

Kia has solved this by offering folding rear seats that enable a maximum volume of 870 liters.
