Car with least fuel consumption in the world

Volkswagen XL1 (The 1 liter car)


The Volkswagen XL1 is built to breach the mileage of 100 kilometers per liter due to which it does and due to which it is also known as the 1 liter car. It is the world's best fuel efficient car. The Volkswagen XL1 is a hybrid with a diesel engine capable of covering a distance of 100 kilometers or 62.1 miles with o.9 liters of diesel with the emission of only 21 grams of CO2 per kilometer. 


Description

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 length of the car is 3970 mm and width is 1682 mm.  The car has very low height of 1184 mm as compared to other cars but over all i think the car looks beautiful.The Volkswagen XL1 is two seater with Doors opening vertically (Scissor Doors).




The car is also very Environment friendly and has emission of only  21 grams of CO2 per kilometer. 

Engine


The car is powered by Turbocharged DOHC 47 horsepower 800cc 2 cylinder diesel engine with a 27 horsepower electric motor placed in the back which gives a combine Horsepower of 68, while the 60 cell, 5.5 kWh, 150 pound lithium ion battery is located in the front which is recharged by the advance braking system as well as the diesel engine when needed. The car has a 7 speed dual clutch transmission.
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.
The Volkswagen XL1 can store up to 10 liters or 2.64 gallons of fuel which is capable of driving this for about 690.3 miles.

Mileage 

This is what makes this car the World's most fuel efficient car.
The Volkswagen XL1 has a combined mileage of 100 kilometers per 1 liter or 261.3 miles per gallon. Its a awesome figure :D 

Price of Volkswagen XL1

I dont know the price of Volkswagen XL1 now, there are many different prices all over the internet. 
All I know is that only 200 units will be sold to retail customers. The Volkswagen opened a registration process for interested customers which was closed afterwards because of more than 200 registration. A draft will be conducted to select the customers for the available units and they will be given a purchase contract after payment of  27000 US dollars.

Am gonna take off now, 
I hope you like my new post

Have a nice day,

Cheers

Honda Accord Hybrid 2014 is one of the best Mid size sedan that gives a good mileage mileage in 2014 and The Honda Accord is also the winner of  Green Car of the year 2014. It will gives the you the best Fuel economy. In my opinion the new Honda Accord Hybrid is in my top 10 list with respect to its cost, Fuel Economy and its options. 

Description

First of all i want to tell you folks that the new Honda Accord has no transmission. Yes, the new Hybrid with no transmission at all. In Fact the only Hybrid Car that has no Transmission, which is why the new hybrid system makes this car more Special.
This new Hybrid has three type of driving systems EV drive, engine drive and Hybrid drive.
In the EV drive system, the car's front two wheels are powered by 166 Horse Power AC electric motor which uses energy from the Lithium Ion Battery (Li-ion) while the in the engine drive mode the car is powered by the 141 horse power 16 valve  2.0 Liter, DOHC i-VTEC 4 cylinder Engine. In the new Hybrid drive system this Car's engine powers a generator, which supplements the current drawn from the battery. In this mode, there is no physical connection between the engine and the drive wheels. This car is spend its most of the time in Hybrid Drive mode.

Specifications

There are 3  types of Accord Hybrid's you can buy
  1. Accord Hybrid (29155 $)
  2. Accord Hybrid EX-L (31905 $)
  3. Accord Hybrid Touring (34905 $)

Accord Hybrid (29155 $)

This one contains all the usual features a car carries like Bluetooth streaming audio, USB interface, Airbags, Reverse Cam and all the different sensors now a days cars usually have.

Accord Hybrid EX-L (31905 $)

This one contains all the normal features of simple Hybrid with Leather Trimmed interior, Leather covered steering wheel with a better Audio system and Sound Quality and a Sun Roof. 
But the most important features that Accord Hybrid EX-L has are Front Collision Warning (FCW) and the Line Departure Warning (LDW). 

Accord Hybrid Touring (31905 $)

It is the most costly Accord Hybrid due to its Honda Satellite Linked Navigation System  that has Voice Recognition system and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
it also has other features that other Accord Hybrid's don't have like Navigation controls  on the steering wheel, 16 GB disk drive for Audio, better Rare view Cam with more than one angle and Guidelines, auto On/Off feature for LED headlights and a home link remote system.

Conclusion

if you are looking to buy a Hybrid car with good features that can save you some money with respect to its mileage or fuel consumption then this is the car you are looking for. And it is  better than the  Toyota Camry 2014 with respect to its mileage, performance and transmission.
