Top 10 frugal 4x4s

Top 10 frugal 4x4s in UK


Jeff Lim's note: Only 1,2,7 and 10 were on sale in Malaysia.  Note that ALL of them were Diesel Powered. Still waiting for EURO4 to enable the importation of Modern Diesels.


You might want a 4x4 to keep you on the road this winter, but you don't want the sky-high running costs that tend to follow.

Criteria: 
45mpg+ cars with four-wheel drive
Mix of 4x4s and crossovers
Priced from £15k

We've got the top 10 cars for you – an ideal mix of four-wheel-drive models that average more than 45mpg.

1 BMW X3

The X3 is an excellent compact 4x4 because it’s classy, practical and good to drive. 
Which version? xDrive20d SE
Average MPG: 50.4

Stylish, with desirability that none of its rivals can match. The Evoque is the leaner, trendier Range Rover we've been waiting for.
Which version? 2.2 SD4 190 Pure 4WD 5dr
Average MPG:50.2

3 Volkswagen Tiguan
The Tiguan's car-like dynamics and smart, versatile cabin make it a classy crossover that's well worth considering.
