With the cost of living rising and fuel prices in Kenya still hovering above KSh 180 per litre, more and more car buyers are asking us the same thing: “What’s the best fuel-efficient car I can import right now?” At Zorro Car Imports, we help you make smart car-buying decisions. If you're looking for a car that saves fuel, is affordable to maintain, and performs well on both city and highway roads. These five models are ticking all the right boxes in 2025.

1. Mazda Demio (Mazda2) -1300cc or 1500cc. Fuel economy: ~19–23 km/L  The Mazda Demio is compact, stylish, and responsive on the road. It's loved for its balance of performance and fuel efficiency. 

  Zorro tip: A great pick for solo drivers, students, or young professionals living in urban areas. Smooth to drive, easy to park, and budget-friendly to run. 

2. Toyota Vitz — 1000cc or 1300cc . Fuel economy: ~18–22 km/L  The Toyota Vitz is a trusted name in Kenya. It’s small enough for city driving, yet surprisingly roomy inside. It’s also one of the most affordable cars to import and maintain. 

Zorro tip: Looking for an everyday car that doesn’t break the bank? The Vitz is perfect for short commutes, errands, and first-time car owners.

3. Nissan Note — 1200cc or 1500cc. Fuel economy: ~18–20 km/L • It is practical, comfortable, and more spacious than it looks. The Nissan Note is ideal for drivers who require space for passengers or cargo while still seeking efficient fuel economy. 

Zorro tip: Popular with ride-hailing drivers and small families. It offers a higher driving position and a quieter ride than most hatchbacks in its category

4. Toyota Axio — 1500cc. Fuel economy: ~17–19 km/L The Toyota Axio is a compact sedan that’s reliable, refined, and cost-efficient. With solid build quality and excellent road handling, it’s a favourite for long-term use. 

Zorro tip: Ideal for business people, company reps, and anyone looking for a comfortable car with low fuel consumption and strong resale value.

5. Suzuki Alto — 660cc • Fuel economy: ~24–26 km/L It is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles available for import. The Suzuki Alto is lightweight, dependable, and seriously cheap to run; it barely sips fuel. 

Zorro tip: If you're looking for a simple, no-frills car for city errands or short-distance travel, this is the one. Great for students, small families, and budget-conscious buyers.
