Economical Cars - Large/Full size

Economical cars are at the forefront of manufacturers minds these days. Every new car is made as economical as possible. Large cars are another example of a vehicle type that is not usually associated with economical cars, but in recent years these type of vehicles are being transformed into economical cars. With this type of car there is always a trade off between fuel economy and the power, size & weight of the car which are all important factors in a large car. When you buy a large car you expect certain things from it as standard. You expect it to be able to have enough power to cruise comfortably and tow things, it needs to be large enough to seat 5 people in total comfort, and there needs to be a lot of cargo space. These are the fundamentals of a large car, fuel economy is a bonus on top. The challenge for manufacturers is to cater for these basic needs and still make economical cars. They must be careful not to compromise too much on any of the large car necessities just for the sake of fuel economy, otherwise it just won't sell - being an economical car won't save it.
