📌 Notes
-
The four‑cylinder 2.3 L typically gets the best fuel economy in the lineup, especially on the highway.
-
AWD reduces highway fuel economy slightly compared with RWD.
-
More aggressive trims (e.g., Tremor with off‑road gear) may have different mpg ratings due to heavier tires and gear ratios.
Summary Example (2.3 L):
-
20 mpg city
-
27–29 mpg highway
-
~23–24 mpg combined
If you want the hybrid version’s fuel economy (which can be significantly higher), I can look up or summarize that too!
