Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza is one of the most efficient Subaru vehicles available thanks to its smaller stature, peppy performance, and impressive capability that lets it maintain its energy. Under the hood, the new Subaru Impreza lineup of five-door hatchbacks lets you choose from a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that creates 152-horsepower and 145 pounds-feet of torque, while also delivering an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, helping you save on every trip around Norwalk and beyond.

If you're shopping for an efficient new car that packs a stronger performance, choose a new Impreza RS model. The Impreza RS models use a larger 2.5-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine that creates 182-horsepower and 176 pounds-feet of torque, all without sacrificing much fuel economy with an estimated 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Subaru Crosstrek

The Subaru Crosstrek is among the most fuel-efficient new Subaru crossover SUVs available. The Crosstrek is the smallest of the Subaru SUVs, allowing it to maintain a lighter weight and use less fuel on your trips to Wallingford. Under the hood, the new Subaru Crosstrek features two engine options. The Crosstrek Base and Premium models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that creates 152-horsepower and 145 pounds-feet of torque, while also rewarding you with an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, helping you save on every outing both short and long.

You can also choose a Crosstrek Sport, Limited, or Wilderness model and benefit from a stronger 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 182-horsepower and 176 pounds-feet of torque, all while providing you with an estimated 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Skip Using Fuel Altogether with a New Subaru Solterra Model

Every new Subaru vehicle offers impressive fuel efficiency, but if you want to save the most on fuel, stop using it altogether. We have a great selection of new Subaru Solterra electric SUVs for sale that provide you with the same legendary performance and capability as other Subaru SUVs, only without the use of a gasoline engine. Instead, the new Solterra lineup uses 100% electric energy through a setup that pairs two electric engines with a large battery pack. The system produces 215-horsepower and 248 pounds-feet of torque.

When fully charged, you can travel over 220 miles before you need to recharge the battery, helping you save on every trip both short and long around Branford and across the country. It's also easy to recharge your Solterra battery at home, with a regular household outlet offering overnight charging or any DC fast charger letting you recharge from 20% to 80% in under an hour.
