Best Fuel Efficient Luxury Cars Under $30,000
A luxury vehicle does not have to cost a fortune or drink fuel. The used market offers strong performance, comfort and modern features for less than $30,000.
2019 BMW 3 Series: Fun Without Being Wasteful
The 2019 BMW 330i xDrive suits drivers who want a sedan that feels lively but remains sensible for daily travel. Its turbocharged 2.0 litre engine produces 255 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. An eight speed automatic transmission and xDrive all wheel drive help it feel smooth and confident throughout the year.
Canadian fuel consumption is rated at about 9.5 L/100 km in the city, 7.0 on the highway and 8.4 combined. That is reasonable for a quick all wheel drive luxury sedan. The cabin is clean and focused on the driver. Depending on its options, a used example may include heated seats, navigation, parking sensors and driver assistance features. Equipment should be checked on the individual listing.
2022 Mercedes Benz A Class: Small Car, Premium Cabin
The 2022 Mercedes Benz A 250 4MATIC brings luxury into a compact and easy to manage shape. Its turbocharged 2.0 litre engine produces 221 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. A seven speed dual clutch transmission and all wheel drive are standard on this Canadian model.
Fuel consumption is about 9.4 L/100 km in the city, 6.8 on the highway and 8.2 combined. The highway number makes it appealing for regular trips across the Greater Toronto Area. Inside, twin digital displays and the MBUX system create a modern feel. Heated seats, smartphone connectivity and a reversing camera may be included. Rear space is tighter than in a larger sedan, so families should try the second row.
2022 Mazda CX 5: An Upscale SUV Choice
Mazda is not officially a luxury brand, but the 2022 CX 5 can feel close to one. Its cabin has quality materials and simple controls. It also offers a higher seating position and more cargo room than the sedans. For 2022, all wheel drive became standard across the North American CX 5 range.
A naturally aspirated 2.5 litre AWD model is rated at about 9.1 L/100 km in the city, 7.7 on the highway and 8.5 combined. Turbo versions offer more power but use more fuel. The engine should therefore be checked carefully. Depending on the trim, features may include leather seating, Bose audio, a power liftgate and a 360 degree camera.
Which One Belongs in Your Driveway?
The BMW is the most enjoyable to drive. The Mercedes feels the most modern inside. The Mazda offers the best space and SUV practicality. Before buying, review the vehicle history, service records, tire condition and inspection results.
