I'd love to have better mileage; but, I also want cargo capacity and comfort. That's the tradeoff. The newer Traverse has a 9-speed transmission that no doubt helps it get a few more miles per gallon but it also has auto stop/start (which I'm not fond of). Mileage on the trip to and from New Jersey was right at 24 MPG--when I remember my last Chevy (IROC-Z28 with L-98 engine) I realize that was the same mileage I got from a car that had little utility. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

Fuel economy literally sucks!! I guess it's the price you pay for driving a big vehicle with all-wheel drive. I also own a new GMC 4x4 quad cab truck with a 6 liter engine. My truck gets better fuel economy than my 3.6 liter Traverse. Maybe I just got stuck with a lemon. I'm told that fuel economy is supposed to get better once the engine gets more km's on it. I doubt it will improve very much at all to notice any savings at the pump. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

For an SUV with all wheel drive full time and a small V6 fuel economy isn't bad at twenty miles per gallon. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

Smaller 2.7 V6 get great gas mileage, even though it has all wheel drive, 25mpg is common. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

2.7L 6 cyl. engine has a 18 mpg city 22 HWY. Not good enough. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

The fuel economy on this car could be a lot better. It can supposedly get up to 21 mpg, but we've never gotten over 17 mpg. We tak e good care of it, so I don't know what the problem is, but I would call it a gas guzzler. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review

Ok for a vehicle of this size and configuration, but it compares unfavourably to vehicles that although superficially the same, could be expected to do better. Like not being in 4wd all the time. see full Suzuki Grand Vitara review
