The Top 5 Most Fuel Efficient SUVs to Buy Used
Posted on February 23, 2018
You like the extra passenger and cargo space inside the cabin. The higher seating position makes your sightline on the road much better, along with visibility all the way around. And what’s not to like about the more versatile and capable powertrains? That’s right, we’re talking about sport utility vehicles again. But there’s one thing you don’t want to compromise on: the cost to operate. That’s why you should consider one of these top 5 most fuel efficient SUVs when you’re in the market for a used vehicle.
Most Fuel Efficient SUVs
Honda HR-V
Honda’s smallest SUV is the Honda HR-V. It’s a compact crossover with versatility and cargo capacity of an SUV and the efficiency of a passenger car. Its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine makes 141 horsepower and is available with Honda’s Intelligent AWD system. When you choose the Honda HR-V, you get one of the most fuel efficient SUVS with ratings up to 20 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 29 mpg overall.
Subaru Crosstrek
If you’re thinking you want a vehicle that stands out in a crowd, the Subaru Crosstrek is a good choice. It has unique styling on the exterior, a very comfortable interior, and fantastic base-level equipment. Most importantly, the Crosstrek has standard-equipment AWD, and still accomplishes 30 mpg highway, 20 mpg city, and 29 mpg overall.
Honda CR-V
One of the best-selling SUVs of all time is the Honda CR-V, and that’s partly because it’s one of the top 5 most fuel efficient SUVs. The CR-V can be equipped with basic equipment or fully-loaded, depending on your tastes. Two engine choices are available – a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a turbocharged 1.5-liter. The Honda CR-V’s most efficient model is rated at 37 mpg highway, 20 mpg city, and 28 mpg overall.
Mazda CX-3
Mazda’s compact SUV, the Mazda CX-3, is incredibly attractive and refined for a vehicle of its size and price. i-ACTIV AWD is available to provide a sure-footed grip on the road, and the interior is nothing short of stunning. Its powertrain is a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder with 146 horsepower, and it’s rated at 28 mpg overall. In the city, the CX-3 achieves 20 mpg and on the highway it’s rated for 36 mpg.
Nissan Rogue Sport
The new Nissan Rogue Sport is a foot shorter than the grown-up Rogue, but it has all the attitude and heart of its sibling. It looks fantastic and is one of the most capable compact SUVs you can buy. Under the hood is a 141-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a CVT transmission. With that configuration, the Rogue Sport becomes one of the most fuel efficient SUVs with a combined rating of 26 mpg, highway rating of 34 mpg, and city rating of 19 mpg.
