Fortuner. There's a good reason why you see a lot of them around.

Although, if you are a speed-freak, there's also the Santa Fe or Sorento. Both CRDi of course.

EDIT:

2.0L pala so crossover.

I would say Tucson or the Sportage. I would love to recommend the Xtrail but it's just too thirsty on gas.

Most of the 2.0 and up SUV are guzzler. So high km/l is not feasible.
Maybe you want to consider the new fiesta este ecosport from Ford. It's not second hand but the price is low. Ayaw mo ba ng diesel engine?

Magkakalayo pa ba ang fuel consumption ng mga 2.0l crossovers? Ang alam ko lang matipid eh Mazda Skyactivs pero 2012 na lumabas un.

TS, bakit di mo nga consider ang second hand na Fortuner?

The Maxda CX-5 SkyActiv and new Forester 2.0L CVT offers good FC. On city driving, the CX-5 can do 10 km/L and the Forester can around 9 km/L. Not sure about previous generation CUVs (2009-2011) but maybe Tsikot members with CRV's, Tucson's, Sportage's, or Foresters can share their inputs on their average FC.

2.0L + Gas + CUV's heavy body = swerte ka na sa 6-8km/L

Best candidate I can think of is the X-Trail because it will be cheaper on 09 models because of its low resale value. Maintenance is cheap because its gas. Other cheaper options are Ford Escapes and Mazda Tributes, but they are on 2.4L already.

Sobrang lakas kumain ng gas ang xtrail and it's not well refined.

^ Thanks to the crappy transmission (4AT).

It is actually more refined compared to other non-japanese counterparts of that year. Its just too bland and plain inside.
