Any Sportage sized vehicle on petrol is going to be at best low 30’s.
If you go full Hybrid that is where your petrol mpg goes up, by a mile.
Look at Mikes, and others fuel economy in the QQ Hybrid. They are getting 50mpg easily and more, real World not manufacturers nonsense.
If you can average 50mpg on a big vehicle like that – you are approaching Diesel fuel consumption figures.
The Yaris Cross, many reviewers have managed brillaint fuel consumption figures, but its a Toyota and a bit lacking in tech and goodies. Toyota tends to be a bit spartan…who knows with the new CHR and Prius though…
