Sport Utility Vehicles
Compact SUV's are the most affordable with prices for base models starting at less
than $20,000. Mid- and full-size vary greatly, with base models starting in the
mid-$20Ks and going all the way up to the mid-$40Ks or higher for top-of-the-line
luxury models.
Fuel economy compact SUV's offer both four and six cylinder engines, while midsize
typically come standard with six-cylinder engines with V8s as options. The most
economical four-cylinder compact SUV can achieve mileage figures in the mid-to-upper
20s, while most six-cylinder average in the upper teens. Full-size vehicles get
between 12 and 20 mpg.
