A used Hyundai Tucson offers style, space, capabilities, and most importantly, outstanding fuel economy. A used Tucson model could be capable of an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG when properly equipped.

This compact crossover SUV can also be equipped with an All Wheel Drive system, which changes the MPG rating to an EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway MPG. It’ll help you take on slick streets and cruise any road with more command, thanks to Active Cornering Control, which transfers power to the wheels on either side of the vehicle for improved stability.

Ford Escape

If you’re ready to make your great escape in an efficient crossover SUV, a used Ford Escape is for you. It’s available with one of three engines, depending on the model year and trim you choose. They each boast an efficient MPG rating, as well:

A used Escape will also bring proven Ford toughness to your daily drive. It boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, when properly equipped. You’ll also have standard trailer sway control backing you up. It senses shifts in trailer weight and adjusts the engine torque to keep you confidently in command of your haul.

Honda CR-V

A used Honda CR-V is one of the most family-oriented efficient crossover SUVs on this list. It can get you from soccer practice to dance rehearsals and everything in between, all while passing any gas station that might get in your way.

If you’re hauling Riley’s science fair project to school or bringing equipment to softball practice, a used Honda CR-V has plenty of storage space. You can even lower the rear seats to open more room.

Subaru Crosstrek

A used Crosstrek is one of the most efficient vehicles in the Subaru lineup. It boasts an EPA-estimated 26 city/34 highway MPG in most models. A SUBARU BOXER® engine and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive also come standard, as with many pre-owned Subaru vehicles.
