Hi Nisll,

Depends on whether you want one with actual four-wheel drive or just a front-drive one. If you only want front-drive, the Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC should do the trick - well over 55mpg in daily driving.

If you want all-wheel drive then I reckon the new Nissan X-Trail with the 1.6 dCi engine should get better than 45mpg in real world conditions.
