Top 5 fuel-efficient compact SUVs in India
Fuel efficiency has remained a major concern for Indians for many years in buying a vehicle and is likely to persist until the prices of fuel stop increasing. Hence it becomes inevitable for Car Manufacturers in India to design and sell cars with higher fuel efficiencies.
SUVs fall in that category of vehicle in which fuel efficiency is neglected at the cost of producing more power and torque. However, the Indian SUV market is full of compact SUVs that give great mileage. The top compact SUVs with great fuel efficiencies in India are:
| SUV | Mileage |

| 2. Maruti Suzuki Brezza | 24.3 |
| 3. Maruti Suzuki S-cross | 24.0 |
