The Top Fuel Efficient SUV’s
Fuel efficiency is something thatalot of people look for when purchasing a new vehicle. With rising fuel prices, it’s important for you to get a car that can offer you more mileage with less-frequent visits to the gas station.
Here are our picks for the top fuel-efficient SUVs around:
Lexus UX
The Lexus UX is actually the entry-level Lexus SUVs that has gathered the most hype. It’s not unfounded though; this vehicle has the standard front-wheel drive, although you can also get all-wheel driveif you opt to get the hybrid version of the car.
The hybrid comes with an amazing 37mpg overall, but you may want to take into consideration that revving the engine can cause more noise than a traditional SUV. All in all, the Lexus UX has a comfortable ride, although not as plush as the larger (and significantly more expensive) Lexus SUVs.
The handling of the vehicle itself is also quite responsive, and thanks to the fact that the vehicle’s overall size is very compact, you won’t have any issues with maneuvering. Other features such as lane keeping assistance, emergency automatic braking with pedestrian detection, and forward collision alerts, are standard as well.
Chevrolet Equinox Diesel
The Equinox from Chevrolet is actually one of the brand’s roomiest (and still, surprisingly compact) SUVs available on the market today. Its advanced safety and infotainment technology aresome of its most revolutionary features helping to draw in buyers.
However, many versions of this vehicle make use of the 1.5-liter turbo fur-cylinder engine. Still, a diesel version of the vehicle gets about 31mpg, which is reasonably fuel efficient,but makes for a less smooth and noisier ride.
Lexus NX
When it comes to driving experience, what youget with the NX isn’t so lavish (especially when compared to a lot of other Lexus’ vehicles).
However, this vehicle has responsive handling and is firm on the ground even with unsteady surfaces such as dirty roads.
The NX comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which comes with a 2-liter capacity and delivers 24 mpg. However, the hybrid version of the vehicle gets 29 mpg. Much more fuel-efficient, wouldn’t you say?
Honda HR-V
The entire design of the Honda HR-V was based on the Fit subcompact and comes with a seat that has a multifaceted design. This rear seat is able to fold down or flip up, thereby providing more space whenever you need it.
The vehicle’s power comes from a 141horsepower four-cylinder engine that is suitable for front-wheel and all-wheel driving.
All in all, the vehicle delivers 29 mpg, as well as a flexible rear seat and a classy interior.
