Top 5 Hybrid SUVs Ranked by MPG
Even with gas prices in the rise, I know so many people still bent on buying an SUV for different reasons. I did some research and listed below are the top 10 hybrid SUVs ranked by MPG. So if you want an SUV but not the hefty hit to the wallet, then read on. The specs are courtesy of USNEWS Rankings and FuelEconomy.
2008 Ford Escape-Hybrid
2008 Mercury Mariner-Hybrid
2008 Lexus RX-400h
2007 Saturn Vue Hybrid
2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
How do these specs rank to you? Does it make purchasing an SUV easier knowing that you’ll get more efficient fuel economy? Or is it still a no in your book?

I would love love love to buy one of these for my husband. He wants an SUV but I just can’t stomach them, it would be a perfect compromise. I’m going to go look at prices right now.

Thanks for gathering the information Ginger! My wife and I with a growing family (ie one on the way) want an SUV but wary about the rising gas prices. You are right, the Ford Escape is looking really attractive right now.

I bought a 2006 Lexus 400h hybrid SUV last June. I do almost all city driving in traffic and few highway miles. My latest gas mileage is 23.2 mpg. Hardly worth the hype but I love the car for it’s handling and space. I am waiting for a better SUV to be marketed and I am out of this one.
