Best SUV

Everyone loves an SUV, but before these trucks went for transformation and became one of the most stylish cars, they were used to tow sedans and small cars. But now SUVs are one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world. Many automobile companies are trying to attract customers from all over with attractive features and offers with the introduction of their new SUV models. Traditional cars on the other hand have polluted the atmosphere since many years. However, the good news for potential SUV owners is the introduction of hybrid SUVs which are called the best SUVs by many automobile experts.

Best SUV for Gas Mileage

In 2010, the world of automobiles came up with a new term called "Green SUVs". This doesn't mean that the basic concept of SUVs has changed, when you talk about green SUV you talk about a SUV with a better and much cleaner technology. The new range of SUVs introduced in the market are slightly different in design and they are called "Crossovers"; already a favorite among customers who have been on a hunt for a SUV with good fuel economy. So here are some names of the top rated SUVs for 2010.

It is fitted with a 2.5 liter engine which offers great performance and gives you an average of 22 mpg. The Forester is perhaps the most well-known car from Subaru and it comes with a 4WD.
