Yahoo Autos Consumer Reports Says These Are The Best New SUVs You Can Buy Right Now
When you’re shopping for a new SUV, it can be hard to know where to start. Sure, you could test drive every single possible option to figure out which one you like best, but who wants to deal with that many dealerships and all the follow-up calls from salespeople? And how do you even know that the SUV you like best is even a good one to buy?
If you’re looking for a little bit of help in that department, the good news is, our friends at Consumer Reports are here to help. They recently published a list of the best mainstream SUVs that they’ve reviewed. All of the SUVs listed excel in performance, reliability, safety and owner satisfaction. If you’re looking for luxury SUVs, though, you’ll have to wait for that list to come out later.

You probably already know the Toyota Highlander as a popular minivan alternative for families. For 2023, though, it gets a new 265-hp turbocharged four-cylinder instead of the old V6. Interestingly, fuel economy barely improved, but something is a little better than nothing. Overall, Consumer Reports gave the Highlander a score of 80 out of 100.
Nissan Rogue
If you haven’t been paying close attention lately, you might be surprised to see the Nissan Rogue on a “Best SUVs” list that doesn’t end with “To Buy If You Can’t Afford Anything Better.” But when Nissan redesigned the Rogue, by all accounts, it did a great job. Opt for the Platinum trim, and you get some near-luxury features, too. Overall, Consumer Reports gave the Rogue a score of 81 out of 100.
Toyota RAV4 Prime
When Toyota first announced the current RAV4 Prime, we knew it had a homerun on its hands. It’s quick thanks to a hybrid powertrain that makes a little more than 300 hp, but since it’s a plug-in hybrid, it also offers about 40 miles of all-electric range when you want it. Overall, Consumer Reports gave the RAV4 Prime a score of 81.
Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
We’re only on our fourth SUV on this list, and we’ve already included two potential surprises—not that the Hyundai Tucson is known as a bad SUV. It’s just that a lot of people wouldn’t expect to see the Tucson Hybrid ranked ahead of the Toyota RAV4 Prime. And yet, Consumer Reports gave the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid an overall score of 83 compared to the RAV4 Prime’s 81.
Honda CR-V
Honda didn’t do anything particularly exciting or groundbreaking when it redesigned the CR-V, but it didn’t have to. The CR-V was already one of the best crossovers you could buy if you’re looking for a well-rounded ride that’s practical and reliable. The redesign just built on the things that made the previous CR-V so popular and in the end it earned a Consumer Reports rating of 83.
