If “over 25 mpg” means a strict highway rating above 25, the available 2026 EPA data supports eight qualifying configurations across five nameplates—not ten fully verified, standard-category midsize SUVs. The strongest results come from hybrids: the Toyota Crown Signia is rated at 37 highway mpg, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid at 35, and the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid at 32 in its 2.5-liter configuration. Subaru Outback entries also clear the threshold, but the EPA places them—and the Crown Signia—in its midsize-station-wagon section rather than the standard SUV section.
That classification matters. This guide lists every qualifying configuration established by the cited 2026 ratings, identifies which entries are crossovers or wagons under EPA categorization, and shows how to verify the exact trim and drivetrain before you buy. A vehicle rated at exactly 25 highway mpg does not qualify.

What qualifies as “over 25 mpg”
The cutoff is mathematical: a vehicle must have an EPA highway rating greater than 25 mpg. A 25-mpg rating is not enough. EPA fuel-economy figures are assigned to specific model-year, engine, transmission, trim and drivetrain combinations, so a model’s best result cannot automatically be applied to every version.
This article uses 2026 model-year ratings from the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency 2026 Fuel Economy Guide. The guide is the controlling source for the city, highway and combined figures in the table. EPA explains how ratings are established and displayed on vehicle window stickers on its Fuel Economy page.

“Midsize SUV” also needs a definition. The EPA guide places the Toyota Crown Signia and Subaru Outback in its midsize-station-wagon section. They have SUV-like ride height and utility, and many shoppers cross-shop them with midsize SUVs, but they are not listed in the guide’s standard SUV category. The table labels that distinction instead of silently mixing categories.
Every 2026 configuration in the supplied ratings that clears 25 highway mpg
| Model and configuration | EPA category | City / highway / combined mpg | Powertrain and drivetrain | Why it qualifies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD | Midsize SUV | 35 / 35 / not stated in the cited entry | Hybrid, all-wheel drive | 35 highway mpg is 10 mpg above the cutoff. |
| Toyota Highlander AWD (gas) | Midsize SUV | 21 / 28 / not stated in the cited entry | Gasoline, all-wheel drive | 28 highway mpg clears the threshold. |
| Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD, 2.5L | Midsize SUV | 36 / 32 / not stated in the cited entry | Hybrid, all-wheel drive, 2.5-liter engine | 32 highway mpg qualifies. |
| Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD, 2.4L turbo | Midsize SUV | 26 / 27 / not stated in the cited entry | Turbo hybrid, all-wheel drive, 2.4-liter engine | 27 highway mpg qualifies, but it is less efficient than the 2.5L hybrid. |
| Toyota Crown Signia AWD hybrid | Midsize station wagon | 39 / 37 / not stated in the cited entry | Hybrid, all-wheel drive | 37 highway mpg qualifies; category is wagon rather than standard SUV. |
| Subaru Outback AWD, 2.5L | Midsize station wagon | 25 / 31 / not stated in the cited entry | 2.5-liter engine, all-wheel drive | 31 highway mpg qualifies despite a 25-mpg city rating. |
| Subaru Outback AWD, 2.4L turbo | Midsize station wagon | 21 / 29 / not stated in the cited entry | 2.4-liter turbo, all-wheel drive | 29 highway mpg qualifies. |
| Subaru Outback Wilderness AWD | Midsize station wagon | 21 / 27 / not stated in the cited entry | All-wheel drive; Wilderness configuration | 27 highway mpg qualifies. |
These are eight qualifying configurations, not ten distinct nameplates. Counting each engine or trim combination as a separate “SUV” would be misleading because shoppers buy vehicles, not duplicate entries created by powertrain changes. The available evidence therefore cannot substantiate a definitive ten-model list without adding vehicles or ratings not established here.
How the qualifying models differ
Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD
The Highlander Hybrid AWD’s 35 highway mpg rating is tied to that hybrid, all-wheel-drive configuration in the 2026 EPA guide. Its city and highway ratings are both 35 mpg, an unusual balance that makes the configuration especially relevant to drivers whose use includes more than steady-speed road travel.

Do not transfer the hybrid figure to a gas Highlander. The gas AWD entry is rated at 28 highway mpg, seven mpg lower. Toyota’s 2026 announcement describes the lineup as offering gas or hybrid powertrains with standard AWD, and gives manufacturer-estimated combined figures of 24 mpg for gas models and 35 mpg for hybrids; those combined estimates provide context, but the EPA guide remains the source for the highway numbers used here. See Toyota’s 2026 Highlander announcement and Toyota’s Highlander specifications page.
Toyota Highlander AWD gas
The non-hybrid AWD Highlander still clears the rule with a 28-mpg highway rating. Its 21-mpg city figure shows why highway and combined economy should not be treated as interchangeable: a vehicle can meet this article’s highway test while using considerably more fuel in urban driving.

Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD
The Grand Highlander has two qualifying hybrid configurations in the cited guide. The 2.5-liter hybrid is rated 36 city and 32 highway mpg. The 2.4-liter turbo hybrid is rated 26 city and 27 highway mpg. Both pass, but the six-mpg highway gap is large enough that engine choice should be checked on the window sticker rather than inferred from the model name.
Because the ratings are configuration-specific, a dealer listing that says only “Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD” is incomplete for an efficiency comparison. Confirm whether the vehicle has the 2.5-liter or 2.4-liter turbo powertrain and use the corresponding EPA entry.
Toyota Crown Signia AWD hybrid
The Crown Signia AWD hybrid posts the highest highway result in this set at 37 mpg, with a 39-mpg city rating. The EPA classifies it as a midsize station wagon, not a standard midsize SUV. Include it when your shopping definition covers SUV-shaped crossovers and wagons; exclude it when you require the EPA’s standard SUV category.
Subaru Outback configurations
All three cited Outback configurations clear 25 highway mpg. The 2.5-liter AWD version is rated 31 highway mpg, the 2.4-liter turbo AWD version 29, and the Wilderness AWD version 27. The 2.5-liter has a 25-mpg city rating, which does not disqualify it because the test here concerns highway mpg. The Wilderness entry has the lowest highway result of the three but remains above the threshold.
The EPA guide groups these entries under midsize station wagons. That is a classification fact, not a judgment about capability or body design. If your shortlist is based on how a vehicle is marketed and used, they are reasonable crossover alternatives; if it is based strictly on EPA body category, keep them in a separate group.

Why the 2026 Honda Passport is not on the list
The 2026 Honda Passport illustrates the difference between “25 mpg or more” and “over 25 mpg.” Honda lists the RTL at 19 city, 25 highway and 21 combined mpg. The TrailSport is rated 18 city, 23 highway and 20 combined mpg. Neither configuration exceeds 25 highway mpg, so neither qualifies under the stated rule. Honda’s figures are published in its 2026 Passport specifications.
How to verify the exact vehicle before buying
- Identify the model year. Fuel-economy ratings can change between model years. A 2025 vehicle on a dealer lot is not covered by a 2026 rating merely because the nameplate is unchanged.
- Record the powertrain. Note whether the vehicle is gas, hybrid or turbo hybrid, and write down the engine displacement when the model offers more than one.
- Confirm drivetrain. AWD and front-wheel-drive versions can receive different EPA ratings. Every qualifying entry above is tied to the drivetrain shown in the table.
- Read the window sticker. EPA says fuel-economy information appears on new-vehicle stickers. Match the highway number and configuration description to the EPA guide, rather than relying on a generic model-page headline.
- Check the category assumption. Decide whether midsize station wagons such as Crown Signia and Outback belong in your comparison. Record them separately if you want a strict SUV-only list.
- Save the source and trim details. Keep a photo or PDF of the sticker and the exact trim name. This prevents a high-efficiency hybrid rating from being mistakenly applied to a gas or turbo version.
What EPA highway mpg can—and cannot—tell you
An EPA rating is a standardized comparison figure, not a promise that every driver will achieve it. Weather, speed, payload, tire pressure, roof accessories, traffic, terrain, towing and driving style all affect actual consumption. The rating is most useful for comparing similarly equipped vehicles tested under the same federal procedure.
Highway mpg also does not describe the whole ownership picture. A model that wins on the highway may use more fuel in city traffic, while a hybrid’s advantage can be strongest in stop-and-go driving. Look at city, highway and combined figures together, then consider the type of driving you actually do.
To estimate fuel use for a trip, divide the planned miles by the vehicle’s highway mpg. For example, a 600-mile trip in a vehicle rated at 30 highway mpg would be estimated at 20 gallons under test-rating conditions (600 ÷ 30). Multiply that result by your local fuel price for a rough trip-cost estimate. The calculation is a planning tool, not a guarantee of real-world consumption.
How to choose among the qualifying configurations
If maximum highway efficiency is the priority
Start with the Crown Signia AWD hybrid at 37 highway mpg if you accept the EPA’s station-wagon classification. Among entries categorized as midsize SUVs, the Highlander Hybrid AWD leads at 35 highway mpg.

If you want a gas powertrain
The gas Highlander AWD is the only gasoline configuration in the cited standard-SUV entries that clears the cutoff, at 28 highway mpg. Its rating should not be confused with the hybrid Highlander’s result.
If engine choice matters
The Grand Highlander comparison is especially configuration-sensitive: its 2.5-liter hybrid is rated at 32 highway mpg, while the 2.4-liter turbo hybrid is rated at 27. Outback shoppers face a similar spread between the 2.5-liter, 2.4-liter turbo and Wilderness versions.
If you require a strict EPA SUV category
Use the Highlander and Grand Highlander entries in the table and leave Crown Signia and Outback in a separate wagon/crossover list. Under that strict approach, the supplied 2026 evidence supports four qualifying configurations across two nameplates, not ten SUVs.
Bottom line on the “10 SUVs” claim
The 2026 ratings clearly identify efficient choices above 25 highway mpg, but they do not establish ten distinct midsize SUVs from the evidence available here. Eight qualifying configurations are documented across the Highlander, Grand Highlander, Crown Signia and Outback nameplates, with Crown Signia and Outback classified as midsize station wagons by the EPA. Treat the number in the original headline as a shopping-search phrase, not as a verified count, and use the exact model-year, engine and drivetrain rating when comparing vehicles.
