The 2011 Cadillac SRX doesn't make a lot of sense for green shoppers, as its fuel economy ratings, at just 15 to 18 mpg city and 22 to 25 highway, aren't that impressive. For getting passengers around efficiently, a number of larger crossover vehicles—and even minivans—get better mileage than this somewhat compact model.

Turbocharged engines sometimes bring better mileage, but at 15 mpg city, this turbocharged 2.8-liter is far from frugal. In a real-world drive of the SRX, The Car Connection's editors didn't do well either, averaging.
