Cost-conscious motorists love driving the Suzuki Dzire because of how much value it offers.
The Japanese car gives drivers 24.12 kilometres per litre (km/l) and purchasing a brand new one will set you back in the region of Dh36,900.
Suzuki Swift

In second place is another Suzuki, the Swift, which gives 23.75km/l, according to Drive Ninja, a comparison site in the UAE. This makes it an attractive choice for those trying to squeeze as much value as possible from their fuel spending.
The price of a brand new model starts at slightly under Dh49,000.
