Fuel economy is often at the top of buyers' lists of priorities. With the price of fuel constantly in flux and ecological concerns becoming ever more critical, a fuel-efficient vehicle is front and centre when you visit your local dealership. 

Even if you aren't ready to go fully electric, you still have many options for the most fuel-efficient cars on the market. Automakers are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and even standard gasoline engines.

These days, there are so many hybrid vehicles and high-efficiency cars on the market, and it can be challenging to examine them all to find the best fit. By knowing which SUVs get the best gas mileage for the 2025 model year, you can hit the road knowing that you can keep your costs down. 

Here are the SUVs with the best gas mileage, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

There are a lot of compact SUVs on the market, but the Honda CR-V is a long-running favorite. Now, though, the 2025 CR-V is also one of the most popular hybrid SUVs available, and it's no wonder it's winning awards all over the place. 

![2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4CJ5H0ynHBDIpMOQdH7t4D/ea15f64c7f02930f958405dd1cc31860/2025_Honda_CR-V_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

With a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 204 horsepower with the help of two electric motors, it's an excellent choice over competitors such as the Volkswagen Tiguan. The 2025 CR-V Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city and 36 mpg highway in the front-wheel drive (FWD) version, while the all-wheel drive version gets 40 city and 34 highway.

Inside, the CR-V is incredibly comfortable, smart, and high-quality. Opt for the Sport Touring trim level, and you get leather upholstery and some tech upgrades. The base version comes with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but this can be upgraded to nine inches in the higher trims. It also has standard safety equipment, such as lane-keeping assist and automated emergency braking.

Finding a midsize SUV that drives like a sedan can be tricky, but the 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a great option. With a three-row interior and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine working in conjunction with three electric motors, it has all the versatility and smooth handling of a sedan, such as the Toyota Crown or the Camry, but with much more space inside. With an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and highway, the 2025 Highlander is a great fuel-efficient SUV. 

![2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1HMHfgRQriMpGCF7bpnsXl/34c4ee6060801813d2db00a700b67c16/2025_Toyota_Highlander_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

The Highlander Hybrid's cabin is contemporary and fits well with the vehicle's exterior design. While it's less spacious than the Chevy Traverse and not as high-end as luxury SUVs by Lexus or Buick, it's an excellent all-rounder. 

The dashboard features an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, but you can also upgrade to 12.3 inches. The Highlander Hybrid has many standard safety features, including automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning.

The fuel economy rating of the Sorento Hybrid is 36 mpg for both city and highway and, while you can get better rankings out of a hatchback or subcompact SUV, it's well worth it for the space you get. 

![2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4EPrePxrkaVWnq0xXNfnCM/d4ef4e77202b36a91b61d60d6a8bb9f3/2025_Kia_Sorento_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

If you can't quite let go of a gas-powered engine but want to experiment with all-electric power, a plug-in hybrid is your best bet. The 2025 Volvo XC60 PHEV (formerly known as Recharge) features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 455 horsepower with the help of two electric motors. While plenty of highly anticipated PHEVs will be released in the coming years, the Volvo XC60 is already here and has plenty to offer. The XC60 gets 63 MPGe on a full charge and 29 mpg combined with a 35-mile electric-only range.

While Toyota may be known for its most popular hybrid vehicle, the Prius, the RAV4 Hybrid is still impressive and practical. It has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors to generate 219 horsepower with standard all-wheel drive. 

![2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4OPso7SXyBvWnrgq4mB2Be/3a4eb91758000798d23c599b59c551be/2025_Toyota_RAV4_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

The 2025 Hyundai Kona is an efficient and distinctive SUV with respectable fuel efficiency even without an electrified powertrain. The standard engine is a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder running through a CVT with front-wheel drive. Although a 190-horsepower 1.6-liter turbo engine is also available, it's less efficient and doesn't exactly make the Kona a hot hatchback. The standard engine gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city and 34 highway, which is up there with some hybrids. 

![2025 Hyundai Kona Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5Adjt4QpujtMTDUL42ksr7/6403a36b8bb17ae39464358f000b8424/2025_Hyundai_Kona_Interior.jpg)

There is plenty of space throughout the Kona's cabin with a column-mounted shifter and a futuristic design. It also has two 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays behind a slick piece of glass. Plus, standard safety equipment includes automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.

When it comes to city driving, a small, responsive hybrid SUV will almost always be your best option. The 2025 Kia Niro Hybrid comes with a 139-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. If you opt for the base LX trim, you get an EPA-estimated 53 MPG city and 54 MPG highway, with the highway rating going down to 45 MPG for the higher-end trim levels. 

![2025 Kia Niro Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/28DbwNUUKkJvVWiKJWSNFW/0f427f1d432a01ea3ffa57133926dee9/2025_Kia_Niro_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

The Niro's interior is well-designed, using recycled materials such as eucalyptus for the upholstery. For a small crossover, there is a decent amount of room for four full-grown adults, and the ambient lighting gives the cabin a slightly premium feel. 

The base trim comes with an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with other trims including a 10.3-inch screen, and both have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Forward collision warning and lane-departure warning are standard, with optional adaptive cruise control.

You might not associate luxury vehicles with fuel efficiency, but the Lexus UX 300h offers the best of both worlds. It features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, putting out 196 horsepower with the help of up to two electric motors with FWD or optional AWD. 

![2025 Lexus UX 300h Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6VNc7on0yVqUIOB7yoMJRW/b7d7f4d2360ab030d8fb10bd98838942/2025_Lexus_UX_300h_Interior.jpg)

Handling is responsive and surprisingly athletic, thanks to its compact proportions. Go for the FWD version of the UX, you get 45 mpg city and 41 highway, and the AWD version loses 1 mpg on each. 

The UX's interior is everything you would hope for from a Lexus. With power-adjustable front seats and dual-zone climate control, it has a high level of comfort like the brand's other SUVs. Standard tech includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB ports. It also has an extensive suite of safety features, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
