With fuel prices still so high, here are three second-hand models of compact vehicles that consume nothing!
Toyota Prius

Engine : Hybrid
Fuel : essence
Fiscal power : 4 CV
DIN power : 122 ch
Maximum speed : 167 km/h
Consumption : 4.6 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 1
Trunk volume : 400 dm³
Conversion bonus : oui
Seen second hand : we saw a version Lounge of 2017 with 137 400 km on the meter at the price of 16 500 €.
OK, its prices have gone up in recent years. But as the car is very reliable and sells well, you will be able to take advantage of this fourth opus, the last one available as a simple hybrid, without a second thought. Its aerodynamic profile ensures record sobriety despite its imposing size (4.55 m). In return, it provides rear roominess and trunk volume designed for family use. Compared to previous Priuses, the interior presentation progresses, as do comfort, soundproofing and performance. Given the small difference in second-hand prices, you might as well go for a high-end Lounge (GPS, leather upholstery, heated, ventilated and electric front seats on the driver’s side, etc.).
Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake

Engine : 200 d
Fuel : diesel
Fiscal power : 7 CV
DIN power : 136 ch
Maximum speed : 200 km/h
Consumption : 5.9 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 2
Trunk volume : 485 dm³
Conversion bonus : non
Seen second hand : we saw a version Sensation of 2016 with 105 000 km on the meter at the price of 19 000 €.
The shooting brake profile of this Mercedes not only gives it an attractive look. It also provides better trunk volume and more careful aerodynamics than those of the four-door coupe. Our lab thus measured a gain of 0.5 l/100 km between the two bodies (6.4 l/100 km for the coupe)! The icing on the cake is that as it is less appreciated by buyers, it is also less expensive second hand. Automatically delivered with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the 200 d variant is also very pleasant to drive. As a finish, avoid the Inspiration, which is too bare, and the Fascination, which is uncomfortable (standard sports chassis). The right choice is Sensation
Seat Ateca

Engine : 1.6 TDI
Fuel : diesel
Fiscal power : 6 CV
DIN power : 115 ch
Maximum speed : 169 km/h
Consumption : 6.3 l/100 km
Crit’Air : 2
Trunk volume : 515 dm³
Conversion bonus : non
Seen second hand : we saw a version Urban Advanced of 2018 with 116 100 km on the meter at the price of 16 000 €.
Derived from the Leon 3, the Ateca adopts its dynamic behavior. As such, it is more lively to drive than its cousins badged Audi, Skoda or Volkswagen. Its prices on the second-hand market and its low weight (1416 kg) also make it a friend of tight budgets, both when purchasing and at the pump. Over the years, the Ateca has been available in a multitude of special series with an unbeatable price/equipment ratio. Thus, the Urban Advanced offers hands-free key, GPS and reversing camera. And its 16” rims preserve comfort, which is not the case when the car is fitted with 18” (FR and Xcellence finishes). The interior and dashboard are austere, but have not suffered the ravages of time.
