Most fuel‑efficient three‑row crossovers: a 5‑year used market ranking

Discover the most fuel‑efficient three‑row crossovers up to 5 years old. Consumer Reports and owner data spotlight RX L, Traverse, and the Highlander Hybrid.

SPEEDME.RU has published an updated list of the most fuel‑efficient three‑row crossovers up to five years old. The ranking is based on Consumer Reports data and owner feedback—useful guidance for anyone looking for a spacious family car with minimal fuel costs.

Lexus RX L and Chevrolet Traverse open the selection with identical consumption figures—between 11.8 and 10.7 L/100 km. The Lexus leans toward comfort, with a third row kept more as a backup, while the Traverse is noticeably roomier and intended for regular use by all passengers. On long trips, that difference in packaging is easy to feel.

The Toyota Highlander with a naturally aspirated V6 returns 10.7–10.2 L/100 km—impressive efficiency for a large SUV without hybrid technology, and a sensible option for those who prefer simplicity over electrification. The Mazda CX‑9 adds driver engagement: tests peg it at about 10.7 L, while owners often see around 9.8 L/100 km. Its turbo engine pulls confidently in a variety of conditions without punishing at the pump.

The outright leader is the Toyota Highlander Hybrid: 6.7–6.5 L/100 km makes it a near one‑off on the used market. Finding a three‑row SUV this frugal among today’s rivals is virtually impossible, and for families counting every liter, it sets the benchmark.
