10 Gas-guzzling Cars and SUVs That Cost Big Money at the Pump

Published on October 22, 2021 in Top 10 by Guillaume Rivard

With gas prices rising again in various parts of the country, hybrid and electric vehicles suddenly become more attractive. At the very least, many drivers will change their daily habits to avoid spending too much at the pump.

We’ve previously featured the top 10 most fuel-efficient non-hybrid compact SUVs on the market. Now, what about some of the biggest gas-guzzlers in Canada? Here are 10 you should beware of.

Note: The list is based on official fuel consumption ratings by Natural Resources Canada available at the time of writing. We did not include supercar and high-end luxury car brands such as Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls-Royce due to their enormous price tag and extremely limited availability (for the record, the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport achieves a combined 26.1 L/100 km). Also, we did not include more than one vehicle from a single brand.
