Crossovers

Buying a used car is often a great way to sacrifice only a couple of years on a model to purchase at a fraction of the new car sticker price. Used car sales is now a far more trusted enterprise, and many choose to go used instead of new. Some models stand out as great …

The Cadillac SRX, initially launched in 2004, became Cadillac’s best-selling model in its second generation. In a time when consumers were moving away from their gas-guzzling SUVs, the midsize crossover became a hot commodity, and Cadillac’s SRX model numbers soared. Production continued through 2016, meaning there are still thousands of these luxury rides on the …

Mazda is known for creating vehicles that are fun to drive. This extends to the company’s newest vehicle, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. In addition to being fun for drivers, this crossover SUV also provides plenty of luxury as well. MotorTrend says this “newcomer to the Mazda lineup feels like you spent more than you did.” …

Volvo is well-known for making some of the best cars in the world. This is especially true for customers looking for safe cars, as many Volvo models are great cars for families to own and drive.

You don’t need to spend $200k to get an off-road-capable Range Rover. However, even the more expensive trims struggle with reliability issues. Even if they rarely range further than a gravel drive. Famously, YouTuber Doug Demuro’s used Range Rover’s repair bill added up almost to the cost of the SUV itself. A Toyota Land Cruiser …

Mention the names Blazer, or K5, and people often have images of a rugged, off-roading, infinitely customizable, full-size SUV in their mind’s eye. That mental picture was accurate from 1969 through the 1994 model year. Then, in the following years, General Motors, Chevrolet’s parent company, decided to dilute the Blazer reputation by placing that nameplate …

Does anyone pay attention to Mitsubishi anymore? Probably not. At least not since the 1990s, when cars like the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the 3000GT were fast and furiously roaming the streets. But since then, the brand has been largely off the radar. Believe it or not, Mitsubishi has been building cars since then, and one …

Although Alfa Romeo offers some desirable high-performance vehicles, the brand is almost equally known for its questionable reliability. As a result, even the Alfa Romeo Stelvio—a luxury crossover, one of the hottest segments today—isn’t selling particularly well, nor enjoying a strong resale value. However, after looking through reports, it’s possible that at least some of …

Fiat Chrysler has been developing a new Fiat Strada pickup for the last several years. It was meant to debut in South America right about now.

The Hyundai Tucson arrived for the 2005 model year, providing a compact SUV option with two rows of seating for five people. The design was then updated for model years 2010 and 2016. Not every model year of the Tucson has provided exactly what buyers want, though. Here’s a look at the Hyundai Tucson and …

The Juke-R was a mystical, mutant, mad mashup of a 2015 Nissan Juke and GT-R. Actually, it was more like a re-bodied GT-R since the majority of what is under the carbon fiber body is all GT-R. Yeah, even the body isn’t really Juke but a lighter facsimile of a Juke. Basically this is the …

We like doing car comparisons in order to bring you a fair and even comparison between two competitors in the same segment.

Kia is a Korean automaker that’s making some big waves in the auto world. It makes high-quality vehicles and sells them for much lower prices than most of the competition.

The latest-gen Ford Explorer does have a lot to offer SUV buyers. It’s got 3 rows as standard, there’s a hybrid model available, and it recently beat out the Toyota Highlander in Kelley Blue Book’s comparison. And, for those wanting some extra performance, there’s the Ford Explorer ST. But, although it may be fast, is …

The 2020 Fiat 500X is one option for people searching for a great-looking crossover SUV. Kelley Blue Book recently reviewed the 2020 Fiat 500X and said it could be the “best-looking Fiat you can buy in the U.S. outside of the dashing Fiat 124 convertible.” Despite the love for the design, overall, the review raised …

The specs of the Hyundai Venue in black and white look pretty impressive. The light-weight vehicle runs on a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and gets an estimated 32 combined miles per gallon. It’s a small SUV, so you should have no problem getting around in this vehicle. But looks can be deceiving. The Venue doesn’t perform as well …

Although the Toyota Highlander is more crossover than SUV, it’s one of Toyota’s best-selling models. It has a wide array of standard features, and there’s even a somewhat-sporty XSE trim. Though, the Nightshade Edition is mostly just a cosmetic package. But, while the Highlander is popular, it has had some problems in the past. And …

Every automaker has that one vehicle that can do no wrong. It always has great reviews, brings in large sales, and has a loyal following. For Nissan, that’s the Rogue. Even though there are a lot of other great vehicles produced by the Japanese automaker, the Nissan Rogue leaves its brothers and sisters in the …

Although Maserati is a historied brand, the Italian automaker’s products haven’t always lived up to the hype. The Ghibli, in particular, has been heavily criticized for a low-quality interior and overall lack of reliability. And the car many consider the best Maserati, the GranTurismo, is over a decade old, and on its way out. But …

As the smallest of Buick’s lineup, the Encore is a subcompact SUV that has grown ever more popular among buyers. And the Buick Encore typifies the brand because it’s more upscale than, say, its corporate twin the Chevy Trax, yet it’s not as luxe as a Lexus NX. But the reviews for the 2020 Buick …
