Looking for an economical commercial SUV.

Looking for an economical commercial SUV.

I have a 162 Nissan Navara and doing a lot of km. I want to get something more economical with 4 seats and commercial. Is there other choices then just the Ford Kuga?

Our answer:

Hi David,

No, there are some other options, although four-seat commercial versions tend to be bigger vehicles with bigger engines, so fuel economy is not often at the top of the priority list. You could try a Mitsubishi Outlander Business, which comes in either diesel or plugin hybrid forms, and the hybrid would make huge sense if most of your mileage is around town. SsangYong does a five-seat Korando commercial with a 2.2 diesel, which should be a bit more economical than the Navara, but don’t expect much in the way of sophistication. VW does a five-seat commercial Touareg, which only comes with a 3.0 V6 TDI engine, but it might work out a little more economical overall than the Navara, ditto the Jeep Grand Cherokee Business Edition.
