Sport utility vehicles already account for 46.5% of car sales in 2022, according to Fenabrave (distributors association). Compact cars are the most popular: among the 10 best-selling passenger cars in the first half of the year, six are urban jeeps. The fastest and the most economical are among them.
The automatic transmission version of the Fiat Pulse 1.3 flex was the one that used less ethanol in the urban and road cycles. It also obtained the best mark with gasoline on the road, while the Kia Stonic 1.0 turbo surprised with its hybrid system in the city.
In the performance tests, the Jeep Renegade showed that the new 1.3 turbo flex engine easily outperforms the old 1.8, which was retired for not complying with the seventh phase of Proconve (Program for Control of Air Pollution by Motor Vehicles).
The little jeep was the fastest in the acceleration and recovery tests, being closely followed by the Renault Captur —which is also equipped with a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine.
