For a fuel-efficient car, go for the 1991cc with FR drive type. This is because the 2.0-liter engine covers more distance per liter than the 3.5-Liter engine which is more powerful on the other hand. The FR/2WD also consumes less than the AWD although it is not suited for rough roads. Fuel consumption also depends on ones driving skills.
