You can definitely get more out of an SUV than it's rated for. How much really depends on the amount of low end torque it has, and how you are going to drive it.

XB would be nice, but it's more of a brick than a lot of SUV's, although less frontal area and smaller engine. Escape Hybrid would also be nice.

How about a subaru? I've seen some nice suby's with lots of room, and good FE. Also, The sante Fe would be nice.

Does anyone know if the Exquinox has the option of a cylinder shut-off engine? I Know the trailblazer has one, but it's a V8. It shuts off 4 cylinders while idleing and on the highway to save fuel.

Which brings up the question... what are you planning on driving the most? highway or city?
