Luxury SUVs with the Best Gas Mileage

Luxury SUVs are easy on the eyes, but are they easy on fuel efficiency?

‍

Don’t think there’s a luxury SUV with good gas mileage that exists? Think again.

I know what you’re thinking: “Are you nuts? SUVs are gas-guzzling tanks that won’t help my fuel efficiency.” No, I’m not nuts. There are certain SUVs that are great on gas. Not only that, some of them are luxury SUVs at that.

‍

True, SUVs are bigger than the average vehicle thus requiring more power and bigger gas tanks. But, that doesn’t mean fuel efficiency isn’t a top priority either. You’d be surprised at how many fuel-efficient vehicles occupy interstates, expressways, highways, residential streets and every other road you can think of. Yes, luxury SUVs command a lot more money than the more affordable brands, but you can get a lot more out of them as far as fuel efficiency is concerned. The world has accepted the fuel-efficient vehicle as a top priority and car manufacturers have listened.
