EcoSport vs RAV4: Fuel Economy for the Urban Commuter
Whether you're taking on the daily commute or planning a night out on the town, it's important to have an SUV that can go the distance. That's why many vehicles are designed with a high city MPG, and these two SUVs are no exception.
Inside the Toyota RAV4 you'll find a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. This powertrain provides an EPA-estimated 26 city MPG*, allowing for some reliable fuel conservation when moving through city streets.
If you want to save even more fuel while on your commute, the Ford EcoSport has you covered.

Drivers who do a lot of traveling in the city will benefit from driving the EcoSport.
