Most Economical 4x4s Cars of 2023

There are a few tips that will improve the economy of any car, not just a 4×4, such as making sure your tyre pressures are correct, taking excess weight out of the car, and making sure that your own driving style is as gentle as possible. 4x4s tend to be tall vehicles, of course, so slowing down on longer journeys will save you a bundle, as a car’s aerodynamic drag increases massively the faster you go. Avoiding unnecessary bodywork add-ons such as nudge-bars, side-steps, winches, spotlights, roof bars, and roof boxes will also help here. If your car has switchable four-wheel drive, then keeping it in two-wheel drive mode will help save fuel.
