Chrysler Pacifica Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2020	4dr Minivan, ext. 287-horsepower 3.6L V6 9-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy on a 2k highway speeds road trip in rain, snow, ice, and finally dry heat averaged over 26.7 mpg. City driving average was >18 mpg. *Note this computaion does not factor in any towing. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2008	4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	To be expected but with the rising fuel prices anyone would like to see a little better gas milage see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2007	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	barely a difference between highway and city mileage I average about 19.2 in city and 21.5 on freeway see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I wish it were around 25 mpg avarage instead of 20. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Average fuel economy at 22.5 MPG is lower than expected but still not bad. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	For a rather large crossover the fuel economy is absolutely amazing, check it out, it speaks for itself, and in the frist month we are getting exactly the rated efficiency, very pleased. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	30% better than my previous vehicle see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Always want more MPG but it is at least 25% better than my 2006 Ford Explorer. After 15K miles of highway, city and occasionally pulling a 5'x10' trailer, I'm averaging exactly 20.9 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I average 22 mpg in mosty city driving. Not bad for its size and weight. see full Kia Sorento review
2007	4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	For a bulky and powerful SUV, it achieves a greater gas mileage than expected. see full Kia Sorento review

Kia Sorento Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Horrible fuel especially in stop and go traffic. I drive approximately 30 miles per day and within a week the take is nearly empty. see full Kia Sorento review
2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I expected the fuel economy to be somewhat better than 22.5 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	my commute is very short and I am averaging 16mpg despite the 'eco'light being on, which sucks see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	About 20 to 25% less than EPA estimates see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The window sticker said it would get 29 mpg on the highway. I did a 500 mile trip and averaged 25 mpg. On my last 5 vehicles I averaged 2 to 3 mpg more than the window sticker when on the highway. Something is wrong with this picture. see full Kia Sorento review
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 168hp 2.5L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not been brave enough to calculate fuel economy yet, but my Audi A6 1.9tdi used to return 33mpg whilst towing. I doubt the Sorento will get near that even solo! see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Getting 14-15 MPG out of a V6. Wish it were closer to 20 MPG. see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Put simply "It sucks" see full Kia Sorento review
2005	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Not great but we knew that going in. I try to drive as economically as possible and can usually squeeze 18-19 mpg in mixed driving (70%/30% split between highway and local). see full Kia Sorento review
2003	4dr SUV 192-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic AWD w/low range	15MPG - not good see full Kia Sorento review
