Rising fuel prices continue to influence Canadian drivers' vehicle choices, making fuel efficiency a top priority for SUV shoppers. The 2025 Nissan SUV lineup offers impressive fuel economy across its range, with several models achieving under 8.0 L/100 km in combined driving conditions.
Natural Resources Canada's latest fuel consumption ratings reveal that Nissan's compact SUVs lead the pack in efficiency. From the urban-friendly Kicks Play to the versatile Rogue AWD, these SUVs deliver significant fuel savings without compromising on capability or comfort.
Class-Leading Efficiency in Compact SUVs
The 2025 Nissan Kicks Play stands out as the efficiency champion, achieving 7.2 L/100 km combined fuel consumption. Its 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine paired with an advanced CVT transmission delivers 7.7 L/100 km in city driving and 6.6 L/100 km on the highway. This translates to an estimated annual fuel cost of $2,232, making it the most economical choice in Nissan's SUV lineup. The front-wheel-drive Nissan Rogue matches this combined efficiency, utilizing a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine to achieve identical annual fuel costs.
All-Weather Capability with Impressive Economy
For drivers requiring all-wheel drive capability, the 2025 Nissan Rogue AWD proves that winter readiness doesn't demand excessive fuel consumption. With a combined rating of 7.6 L/100 km, it maintains excellent efficiency while providing enhanced traction for Canadian weather conditions. The Kicks AWD follows closely at 7.7 L/100 km combined, demonstrating that all-wheel drive variants maintain competitive fuel economy figures.
Premium SUVs with Balanced Efficiency
The larger Murano AWD delivers a balanced combination of power and efficiency, recording 9.7 L/100 km combined consumption. Its 2.0-litre engine provides additional power for those requiring more capability, while still maintaining reasonable fuel costs at $3,007 annually. The Pathfinder 4WD rounds out the efficient three-row options with a combined 10.6 L/100 km rating, proving that even larger family vehicles can deliver responsible fuel consumption.
