Check purchase price, insurance, cargo needs, driving mix, and the exact trim. A higher MPG number is not automatically the lowest total-cost choice.
How this guide is built: We use manufacturer-published U.S. specifications and EPA estimates where available. “Best” means a practical fit for the stated use case, not a universal ranking. Prices are starting MSRP and can exclude destination, tax, registration, options, and dealer charges.
