Gas mileage is one of the most important factors people consider when choosing a new car, right up there with reliability and safety. Unfortunately for everyone who loves SUVs, though, big, heavy, boxy crossovers aren’t naturally all that fuel efficient. The good news is automakers have slowly been making their SUVs more efficient, and many are now available as hybrids.
Then again, the gas mileage a car is supposed to get and what it actually gets in the real world aren’t always the same thing. Recently, our friends at Consumer Reports put together a list of the SUVs that got the best gas mileage in its testing. If you’re in the market for a new SUV, this list is a great starting place. Let’s see what crossovers made the cut.
