SUVs with reliable engines: top new models of 2025

Choosing a new SUV is not an easy task, as modern models have a wide range of features, and enough space for family trips, but often consume more fuel than passenger cars and are more expensive to maintain.

For those planning to buy in 2025, it is important not only to find a comfortable and spacious option but also to pay attention to fuel economy so as not to spend too much at the gas station. The list of the most fuel-efficient SUVs prepared by GOBankRates experts based on the analysis of ratings from several reputable resources will help you with this.

Kia Niro 2025

This car topped the list thanks to its fuel efficiency in the mixed cycle of up to 22.5 km per liter. It is the most fuel-efficient SUV of the year, according to True Car, Car and Driver, and Cars.com. Although the base model lacks all-wheel drive and some drivers may find it lacking in power, the Niro remains a favorite because it delivers record-breaking fuel economy. For added convenience, it is offered with hybrid options that can be charged from the mains for extra range.

Kia Sportage 2025

Next in the ranking is the Kia Sportage 2025, which reaches 18.2 km per liter. High positions in the True Car and Cars.com lists confirm that this SUV is characterized by exceptional economy, even though its design has not been significantly updated. The successful combination of reliability and economy makes it a popular choice among consumers.

Lexus UX 2025

With up to 18.2 kilometers per liter, it also made it into the top three. Although its compact size means a little less space for passengers and cargo, the hybrid system provides unrivaled fuel efficiency. The Lexus UX remains popular thanks to its modern technical features and comfortable interior.

Honda CR-V 2025

This car is on the fourth place in the ranking with savings of up to 17 km per liter. Although this car did not receive high ratings on Cars.com, it still holds leading positions on the lists of True Car and Car and Driver. The CR-V starts at $31,450, which makes it a bit more expensive than some competitors, but its spaciousness, excellent fuel economy, and safety performance are worth considering.

Ford Escape 2025
