What's the best £20k SUV for fuel economy?

I have a 15-plate Honda CR-V 1.6 diesel. I still want a diesel and like the elevated driving position but need something that will deliver mid 50's+ real mpg. The budget is £20k. What would you recommend?

Answered by Andrew Brady

We'd recommend a Peugeot 3008. It's a really good crossover SUV with a high driving position. The 1.6 BlueHDi engine officially returns up to 70.6mpg, which means mid-50s should be achievable in the real world. Also consider a Kia Sportage – the 1.7-litre diesel engine officially returns 61.4mpg.
