When choosing any of the best fuel-efficient used cars, it's smart to keep an eye on their history of eco-friendly evolution and durable engines. That's where our inventory at Spartanburg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram showcases its specialty. CDJR models are known for their evolutionary designs and long-lasting appeal, so several cars, trucks, and SUVs that we see in our selection post excellent MPG ratings for their vehicle classes.
Let's take a peek at Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles that serve as some of the best used cars for fuel efficiency.
Looking for a sedan or coupe to make commutes fun and fast while saving on gas? The CDJR lineup includes some of the most fuel-efficient used cars that also boast CDJR stability and durability. For example, if you find a 2017 Chrysler 200 on our lot, you can benefit from up to 27 MPG (Combined)1 while also gaining a retro drive feel with the 2.4-liter TigerShark I-4. More recent models, like the 2022 Chrysler 300, embolden your drive with 23 MPG (Combined)2 with its upgraded 3.6-liter V-6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. Finding these sedans as part of our used vehicles under $25K is a great way to upgrade your commute with efficient, no-nonsense specifications.
The 2022 Dodge Challenger boasts similar specs, reaching a 19/30/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) alongside a 3.6-liter engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.2 The Challenger is part of American muscle car heritage, so this level of fuel economy to the table is truly impressive.
Our inventory of used vehicles typically includes dozens of SUVs, many of which are great, fuel-efficient used cars for families. For instance, the 2024 Jeep Compass boasts up to 26 MPG (Combined) with its 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine (paired with an automatic eight-speed transmission)2 while remaining a maneuverable size for city commuters. As a three-row SUV with a bigger engine, the Dodge Durango from 2023 and other recent years isn't as impressive, but it still posts a 21 MPG (Combined) rating with enough legroom for a family of seven to relax.
If you spot a hybrid model in our inventory, it's a great opportunity to cater to your family while zeroing in on fuel-efficient used cars with electrified capability. A 2022 Pacifica Hybrid can enjoy 32 miles of all-electric range3 and up to an EPA-estimated 82 MPGe (Combined)4 while making use of up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The Jeep 4xe lineup is similarly impressive; a 2023 Jeep Wrangler four-door 4xe gives you 22 miles of all-electric range3 and an EPA-estimated 48 MPGe (Combined)4 while also navigating the roads less traveled with ease.
Our last stop is with trucks. Despite their bulky appearance, many of our Jeep and Ram pickups are ready to reduce your carbon footprint while handling impressive payloads. For instance, the 2022 Ram 1500 HFE can reach an EPA-estimated 26 MPG (Combined) with its standard 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine and eight-speed transmission2 while reaching a maximum towing capacity of 8,290 pounds when properly equipped.
With the 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine and eight-speed transmission, the Ram 1500 can reach a still-impressive and cost-effective 23 MPG (Combined).2 Diesel truckers may also want to look into a 2023 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel, which can reach 24 MPG (Combined) using its own 3.0-liter six-cylinder EcoDiesel (paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission).2
