Thanks to today’s energy conscious environment, and a real push from government, auto makers are struggling to meet demands for better fuel efficiency. This is no small task, as consumers are overwhelmingly unwilling to sacrifice their 8 passenger SUV. Buyers want an automobile with better gas mileage, as long as it’s still an SUV.

SUV sales have dropped in the last two years, but that drop is measured against an overall decline in all auto sales. It is unclear whether the drop is from an overall dissatisfaction with the model, or simply a result of tighter purse strings. What ever the cause, the SUV of the future will offer slightly better fuel efficiency without sacrificing anything in the way of luxury and size.

In 2009, Kelly’s Blue Book named the 8 passenger Tahoe Hybrid the best new family vehicle, and GMC is speeding up it’s hybrid development to be able to deliver these SUVs faster and with higher quality. In spite of improvements, the Tahoe only boasts a 25% increase in fuel efficiency. That 25% increase is actually very good compared to most hybrid SUVs, which only improve their mileage by about 18%.

SUV hybrids are becoming more and more common. The Dodge Durango Hybrid and the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid are both good choices for an eight-passenger SUV. Both have boosted their fuel efficiency to approximately 22 mpg. The Durango starts at about $40,000, and the Chrysler Aspen comes in at around $35,000.

There are many 8 passenger SUVs in today’s market, both hybrid and standard. With the many options to choose from, spend some time shopping the different dealers to make sure you get the best value.

Sport Utility Vehicles have been popular among family and work. 8 passenger SUV’s have grown in popularity for their room and seating capabilities.

As mentioned above, many auto makers have adapted their SUV’s to accompany eight passengers. General Motors has the Acadia, Tahoe, and the GMC Denali. Foreign automakers have also answered the call with the Saturn Outlook, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Veracruz, Nissan Armada and Toyota has the Highlander and the Sequoia.

Dodge has the Durango and Chrysler the Aspen. Both are identically styled vehicles with the only difference being that the Aspen is a little more visually appealing.

Before the new technology to improve gas mileage was applied to SUV’s they were doomed by the consumer due to poor gas mileage. Currently, gas mileage has been improved and the bigger is better theory of buying is returning.

After finding which models you may be interested in, the research begins. There are several sites that offer consumer reviews of different makes and models. It is very important to compare what the editors of these sites state compared to the owners of these models.

In order to educate yourself, go to car lots and sit in the vehicles that prove to be suited to your taste. This will offer a chance to sit in the models of choice and compare how they will fit into your lifestyle.

In an 8 passenger SUV their is a consumer need so this need will be met with continued production and improved economy.
