The Most Fuel-Efficient SUVs

The Most Fuel-Efficient SUVs SUVs are very versatile vehicles for transporting passengers and cargo, and now you don’t have to sacrifice fuel economy to get the space you want. Many SUVs now have fuel economy on par with large sedans. There are a few hybrids and diesel SUVs, but regular gasoline engines can be gas sippers in SUVs, as well. Among Consumer Reports’ more than 50 vehicle tests are fuel economy measurements. Our fuel economy numbers come from our measurements using a precision flow meter and are rounded to the nearest mile per gallon (mpg). Our overall mileage is calculated from equal portions of city and expressway driving. The chart that follows features the most fuel-efficient SUVs that Consumer Reports has tested. (See our list of the most fuel-efficient cars). Also see our Ratings comparison by category, which lists each vehicle’s overall mileage.  Rank Make & model CR Overall MPG City MPG Highway MPG 1 Lexus NX300h 29 23 34 2 Honda HR-V LX 29 20 39 3 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid 28 21 35 4 Lexus RX 450h 26 22 31 5 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 26 19 35 6 Subaru XV Crosstrek Premium 26 19 34 7 Mini Countryman S 26 19 33 8 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium 26 18 35 9 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2.5L 25 19 32 10 Chevrolet Trax LT 25 18 34 11 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Ltd. 25 18 32 12 Toyota RAV4 XLE 24 18 31 13 Lexus NX 200t 24 17 33 14 Jeep Grand Cherokee LImited (diesel) 24 17 32 15 Volkswagen Touareg TDI 24 17 31 16 Nissan Rogue 24 17 30 17 Jeep Renegade Latitude 24 16 32 18 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 23 17 30 19 BMW X1 xiDrive28i 23 16 32 20 Buick Encore Leather 23 16 32 21 Honda CR-V EX 23 16 32 22 BMW X3 xDrive28i 23 16 30 23 Kia Sportage LX (4-cyl.) 22 16 30 24 Ford Escape SE 22 15 31 25 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (4-cyl.) 22 15 31 26 Ford Escape Titanium 22 15 29 27 Jeep Compass Latitude 22 15 29 28 Acura RDX 22 14 31 29 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL 21 16 27 30 Kia Sportage SX (turbo) 21 15 29 31 Nissan Murano SL 21 15 29 32 Jeep Patriot Latitude 21 15 28 33 Lexus RX350 21 15 27 34 Honda Crosstour EX-L 21 14 32 35 Acura MDX Tech 21 14 31 36 Ford Edge SEL (2.0L EcoBoost) 21 14 31 37 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT (4-cyl.) 21 14 30 38 Kia Sorento EX (V6) 21 14 30 39 Audi Q5 Premium Plus 21 14 29 40 Jeep Cherokee Limited (V6) 21 14 29 41 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 21 14 29 42 BMW X5 xDrive35i 21 14 28 43 Land Rover Discovery Sport 21 14 28 In addition to research and reviews, Consumer Reports offers subscribers access to the Build & Buy Car Buying Service at no additional cost.
