You Don’t Want to Miss These SUVs
SUVs (sport utility vehicles) are some of the most popular automobiles on the market today, and manufacturers are supplying this new demand with models, small and large. But these many options mean the buying process could get a little daunting. So, we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of the top 4 SUVs and crossovers of the year to help you pick a four-wheeler that really suits your needs as well as your budget.
Mazda CX-30: Although the Mazda CX-30 is quite close in size to the CX-3 SUV, it’s a far more desirable and modern offering. It borrows its interior design, styling, and powertrain from the Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan and adds a slightly lifted suspension, which gives it the feel of an SUV. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine gives this vehicle sufficient power, and you can choose to get it in a front- or all-wheel drive variant. The cabin feels luxurious, and you also get a number of standard driver-assistance features.
Hyundai Kona: Although the Kona has been around for a while, it still continues to catch people’s attention, and rightly so. Not only is it a good-looking SUV, but it also offers a gutsy engine and crisp handling. The cabin looks good, and there’s sufficient space for at least four adults. The only downside is that the cargo space and the headroom can feel a little cramped in comparison to what larger rivals have to offer.
Volvo XC40: The XC40 has a fun and funky vibe, which is surprising considering it is a large SUV. The cabin is thoughtfully designed, and there’s a smattering of high-tech features. Compared with other subcompact crossover rivals, the XC40 offers a more powerful driving position, making this vehicle feel a lot larger than it is.
Volkswagen Tiguan: The compact SUV segment is filled with numerous great options, but the Volkswagen Tiguan remains a favorite. It’s well-equipped, handsomely styled, and extremely practical. Plus, it’s one of the few smaller SUVs that offer an optional third row of seats. Although the Tiguan offers the sharp driving dynamics that many other SUVs in the Volkswagen lineup do, the vehicle’s practicality is what sets it apart from its rivals.
