I have a bmw 3 series right now, it drives really well but consumes a lot of gas. I am planning to sell the car in the next few months. What are the good car options for me? I want a high power compact suv with good gas mileage. One of my concerns is having enough power to pass or merge easily on freeways. The second one is to have 4 wheel drive so I can occasionally take the car to Tahoe. Tc 450k
Take a look at the Mercedes GLC 350e. It’s a compact SUV, that’s a plug-in hybrid and also has the AWD.
how much is it?
450k tc. Why do you care about gas? Plus any money you save in gas with a higher gas mileage car will be consumed by depreciation.
Bad for the environment and annoying to fill up too frequently
RAV4 hybrid gets 40 mpg and Toyotas are great cars for a good price. Not sure on pickup speed though
RAV4 are good for value and resale but Toyota hasn't upgraded RAV4 interior since long time. Also most desired features are in highest model i.e. Sport.
Budget ?
You should consider Mercedes GLC 300. Great mpg. I just bought one yesterday replacing my BMW X5
You realize any compact SUV will be much thirstier than a recent 3 series right? And the depreciation on the car is going to cost many times more than gas? The Jaguar F pace is pretty fast, gains a lot of power with an ECU flash. I would imagine the Lexus hybrids with the higher numbers ahead of the h would be pretty fast. MBs have good fuel efficiency too.
I just don’t see a lot of point in German cars. I owned and love to drive Mercedes and BMW but they take a lot of gas and are expensive to maintain. A good car like Camry that has good power and can support 4wd would be ideal.
Camry is boring as hell. 🤔
Subaru Outback
The 2020 models will have a turbo option
Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
It’s not powerful enough for merges on freeways
On freeways it is powerful enough, it has slower starts due to towing tuning. It’s all solved in hybrid model, it uses electric help out gas engine at peaks.
Rolls Royce Cullinan
Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring
With the turbo 2.5
Also the AWD system is really good and handles like a sedan
