7 Fuel Efficient Continental Cars You Can Get in SG
There are several benefits to owning a fuel efficient car in a country like Singapore. Aside from the fact that you can lower your petrol costs, the Singapore government also provides a scheme in which car owners can qualify for rebates when buying a new fuel efficient car. The Carbon Emissions-Based Scheme (CEVS) is offset against the car’s Additional Registration Fee (ARF) payable. This encourages car buyers to shift to lower emission models. These financial benefits not only allow for better savings but also reduce your vehicle’s carbon emissions. Continental fuel efficient cars provide owners with these benefits along with the comfort and style that comes with a continental brand.
There are a variety of factors that go into a car’s fuel efficiency such as its aerodynamics, low emissions, engine type, speed, and the size and weight of the vehicle. For the purpose of this article, we will use the litres consumed per kilometre as a basis for the vehicle’s fuel economy. Here are the 7 top fuel efficient continental cars:
1. Audi A1 Sportback 1.0 TFSI (PI) Petrol - $122,850 (inclusive of COE and CEVS rebate)
