To get a mileage of 100 km for 1 liter is not easy. To do so, the Volkswagen XL1 is built very light with Carbon fiber and aluminum making it stronger, lighter and faster and weighs only 795 kg or 1793 lb.

The electric Motor is capable of driving this car for 31 miles alone but in winter or a cold rainy day the figure goes down.
For a car with mileage of an extraordinary figure, the performance is not bad either. The Volkswagen XL1 goes from zero to 60 mph in just about 12.6 seconds and has a top speed of 99 mph or 159 km/h. Obviously with mileage, performance does not comes.
