If you are looking for a luxury option, the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid gets 46 mpg-e and 22 combined mpg.

Don’t forget the fuel-efficient pickup truck options

Pickup trucks have come a long way as far as fuel efficiency goes, and midsize trucks lead this section. The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks get a good 22/30/25 mpg at $30,526. These two trucks are virtually the same, so having the same fuel economy makes sense.

The well-loved Ram 1500 truck has a fuel economy of 20/27/23, and the 2017 Ford F-150 comes in right behind that with 19/26/22 mpg. The Ram is a bit more affordable at $32,125, while the Ford is priced around $36,593. The last truck on the Cars.com list is the 2017 Honda Ridgeline with 19/26/22 mpg and a price of $30,900.

No matter what 2017 SUVs and trucks you end up finding on your search, there are plenty of fuel-efficient choices out there. If you are trying to move away from gas, a hybrid or plug-in hybrid SUV or truck might be a good alternative.
