Most Fuel-Efficient Bakkies For Sale At Group1!
At Group1 we know that one of the biggest factors when deciding on whether to buy a new or used car, is its fuel economy. These days saving on fuel, especially when it comes to a bigger car like a bakkie, is a huge bonus, so we investigated which bakkies are the most fuel-efficient, which are also available at Group1. Here are five bakkies that offer great fuel economy.
Ford Ranger 2.0 Sit Single Cab XL
Ford’s latest Ranger comes in 4×2 manual or auto and 4×4 manual or auto and offers loads of tech and creature comforts, along with stellar fuel economy. Coming in at around 7.6 litres/100km, the Ford Ranger 2.0 has an 80-litre fuel tank, with an average range of 1,127 km. The Ranger has all the power and torque that you get from the 2.0 single-turbo engine – and is very capable of hauling loads.
Nissan Navara 2.5DDT Single Cab XE
The most affordable bakkie out of the five is the Nissan Navara 2.5DDTi Single Cab XE. This single cab is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol or diesel engine and delivers top-class power output and torque. With a tried and tested powertrain, adapted to improve towing stability, this bakkie will get the work done. It comes in at around 7.2 litres/100km, and serious competition when it comes to affordability overall.
Isuzu D-Max 1.9Ddi Single Cab
With a 1.9-litre turbo-charged diesel engine under the hood, Isuzu’s workhorse, the single-cab D-Max is built to perform. This bakkie’s smart transmission prevents over-revving and unnecessary fuel burn. Overall weight reduction also contributes to excellent fuel consumption at just 7.1 litres/100km depending on prevailing conditions and driving habits.
Mazda BT-50 1.9TD Double Cab Active
The Mazda BT-50 is priced a bit higher but equals the Isuzu offering in power and performance but in a double cab version. The Mazda BT-50’s 1.9 turbo diesel engine offers a rate of 6.6 litres/100km when it comes to fuel consumption.
Toyota Hilux 2.4GD-6 Double Cab SR
The focal point of this bakkie’s 2.4 litre Global Diesel engine is its impressive power and torque output. The new engine bows in to replace the previously employed 2.5 litre D-4D, and brings with it a vast range of improvements in performance, refinement and fuel efficiency. The 2.4GD-6 Toyota Hilux comes in at 7.1 litres/100km.
