If gas prices have you thinking twice about your vehicle, you're not alone.
The good news is you don't need to sacrifice the power, capability, and style of American-made vehicles to save at the pump. While Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram might be famous for their muscle cars and rugged SUVs, these brands have produced some surprisingly fuel-efficient models over the years. Whether you're looking for a sleek sedan for your commute, a versatile crossover for the family, or even a fuel-efficient pickup truck, the used CDJR lineup has hidden gems that'll keep more money in your wallet mile after mile.
Let's explore the models that prove efficiency and American automotive heritage can go hand in hand.
Chrysler and Dodge - Comfort Meets Efficiency
Chrysler is known for its family-friendly minivan lineup, so it’s no surprise that used Chrysler models are fuel-efficient. After all, who wants to spend time at the pump when you’ve got the family in tow?
Here are two of the most fuel-efficient used Chrysler vehicles:
Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid delivers impressive fuel efficiency and plenty of space for both passengers and cargo. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain seamlessly switches between gas and electric power, making it a great choice if you’re looking for a more eco-friendly ride.
- Fuel Economy: Up to 82 MPGe
- Why It Stands Out:
- Up to 32 miles of electric-only range, great for short drives.
- Over 500 miles of total driving range, so range anxiety is a thing of the past.
- The user-friendly Uconnect infotainment system keeps you and your crew connected and entertained.
- Seating for seven with ample cargo room.
Chrysler Voyager
This budget-friendly minivan offers fuel-efficient performance and reliability at an affordable price.
- Fuel Economy: Up to 28 mpg highway
- Why it Stands Out:
- It’s easy to find a used Chrysler Voyager for under $25,000, making it more affordable than most family vehicles.
- The interior is practical and functional without feeling too utilitarian.
- Stow ‘n Go foldaway seats allow you to quickly and easily reconfigure the cabin.
When you’re looking for used cars in Summerville, SC, Dodge offers a few that offer the fuel efficiency you need with the performance you want.
Two of these Dodge models are:
Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV
The Dodge Hornet R/T Plug-In Hybrid delivers the sporty drive you expect from the Hornet, with fuel-saving hybrid technology.
- Fuel Economy: 77 MPGe (combined)
- Why It Stands Out:
- You’ll get an impressive 288 horsepower with hybrid assistance
- ~30 miles of all-electric range allows you to drive short distances without ever tapping into the gas tank.
- Advanced safety and driver-assist tech keep you safe and connected on every drive.
Dodge Charger GT
While you might not think about the iconic Dodge Charger as being good on gas, it is!
- Fuel Economy: Up to 30 mpg highway, 23 mpg combined
- Why It Stands Out:
- It’s a classic muscle car that delivers 300 horsepower and impressive gas mileage.
- You’ll have safety features like lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.
- Seating for up to five.
Jeep - Adventure-Ready and Surprisingly Efficient
As your trusted used Jeep dealership, we have a great selection of Jeep SUVs that deliver the brand’s trademark driving experience while helping you save on fuel.
Jeep Compass
This compact SUV offers two rows of seating with room for up to five, plenty of cargo room, and safety features that provide peace of mind on the road.
- Fuel Economy: approximately 27 mpg combined
- Why It Stands Out:
- 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine for efficient performance.
- Stop/start technology reduces fuel use in traffic.
- Compact size is great for both daily driving and road trips.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe
The plug-in hybrid version of Jeep’s legendary off-road-ready SUV provides the capability you want with electric-assisted efficiency.
- Fuel Economy: 49 MPGe
- Why It Stands Out:
- Electric-only range of ~21–25 miles, making it easy to run errands or do school drop off without using gas.
- Instant torque for impressive off-road performance.
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
The hybrid Grand Cherokee is the most fuel-efficient Jeep SUV available. With the perfect blend of luxury, capability, and efficiency, it’s a Jeep like no other.
- Fuel Economy: 56 MPGe
- Why It Stands Out:
- Up to 25 miles of all-electric range.
- Advanced comfort and tech features to keep you safe and comfortable.
Ram - Power That Works Smarter, Not Harder
Used Ram trucks offer the power you need to get the job done with fuel efficiency that keeps more money in your wallet.
Ram 1500 with eTorque Mild Hybrid System
This full-size truck strikes a balance between strength and efficiency, thanks to eTorque technology that enhances torque and optimizes start-stop performance for improved gas mileage.
- Fuel Economy: Up to 20 mpg city / 25 mpg highway (V6)
- Why It Stands Out:
- Available with 3.6L Pentastar® V6 or 5.7L HEMI® V8.
