8 Midsized Three-Row Sport-Utility Vehicles With the Best Tested Gas Mileage
These SUVs got 20 mpg or better and stand out for their fuel efficiency.
If you’re planning to carry more than five or more passengers and their luggage, a three-row SUV becomes a necessity. While a minivan is often the best option, most shoppers prefer midsized crossover SUVs. However, new models are expensive, and midsized SUVs rarely match the fuel efficiency of small or compact SUVs. To help you make a smart financial decision, Consumer Reports has identified several 5-year-old, three-row SUVs that achieved 20 mpg or better in our real-world testing.
Our selected group ranges from luxury models to efficient hybrids. Every vehicle on this list performed well in our tests, and all have average or better reliability, based on our Auto Surveys, in which we ask CR members to tell us what went wrong with their cars. This year, members provided data on approximately 380,000 vehicles.
