6. Kia Sportage Hybrid and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid (6.2 and 6.4 L/100 km, respectively)
Instead of using a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and a CVT like most hybrids, the two Korean SUVs (and mechanical twins) rely on a turbocharged mill and six-speed autobox. This makes them more powerful and smoother than a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, for example, but also a bit less efficient. For 2025, the Tucson benefits from a mid-cycle update that significantly increases its price.
