The 10 most expensive gas vehicles to own and operate over 5 years

Owning a car these days can be an expensive proposition. Gas, insurance, depreciation, and repairs add up quickly, but some vehicles cost a heck of a lot more to operate than others. The team at Marketwatch Guides recently calculated the running costs of several vehicles, finding that some luxury models require a small fortune to own for five years.

The Porsche Cayenne had the highest five-year running costs, at $56,010.

The 10 most expensive vehicles to operate:

1. Porsche Cayenne: $56,010

2. Porsche Macan: $48,653

3. BMW X5 xDrive40i: $48,456

4. Genesis G80: $41,288

5. Jaguar XF: $41,288

6. Ford Mustang: $40,707

7. Volvo XC90: $39,308

8. Jeep Wrangler: $38,276

9. BMW 330i: $37,889

10. Audi Q5: $35,863

Marketwatch’s calculations accounted for fuel and financing costs, which were its two most expensive operating expenses for the Porsche Cayenne. Five-year financing costs amounted to $18,198, while the SUV’s fuel costs totaled $16,756. Insurance, maintenance, and taxes accounted for the remaining operating expenses.
