Right now, the American SUV market is extremely competitive and for good reason. SUVs are definitely, albeit slowly, taking the place of minivans and wagons because SUVs are very practical, offering a good amount of space and excellent safety options. The market has definitely become a battle place for companies that want a piece of the action, no matter if for full-sized, mid-sized, compact, subcompact, or crossover SUVs. Right now, more than 100 SUV types are for sale in the United States and we will be exploring some of the lesser known options that have slipped under the radar even though they have great qualities.
Lincoln Navigator
The Lincoln Navigator is a domestic SUV yet it doesn’t sell too well. The premium SUV just sold nearly 2,500 units, but since the new Navigator has been released, an increase in sales can be expected. In spite of this, the Navigator is still not that good a seller but this model received great reviews from the press and the consumers, mostly for its safety features. We don’t really know how well the next Navigator will do on the market, but in the meantime, you can find some great deals on the older model.
Lincoln Navigator
Jeep Compass
One of the major brands that shaped the SUV we have today is Jeep, so it’s not surprising they are the leaders in making one. Most of the reviews the Compass received from the press and consumers were positive, yet it still has rather low sales figures considering Jeep is a brand from the US with a band of followers in the country. It saw a 58% drop in sales figures and sold just more than 8,500 units in Q1 of 2017. The new Compass will be arriving soon to replace its older model along with the Patriot, so the numbers are more understandable and we suggest you look out for deals Jeep might offer.
Jeep Compass
Jeep Renegade Sport
This small SUV can give you an idea of the styling direction where Jeep is heading. The Renegade Sport appears more rounded but the modern exterior of this car still has the classic Jeep design. Jeep has brought down the prices of the Renegade Sport to attract more buyers, but this SUV lacks features, like power mirrors and even air conditioning which should be included in any car, even though its price is just $19k.
Jeep Renegade Sport
Mini Countryman
This Mini compact SUV is currently doing poorly in the American market the new generation has already replaced it. Thus, the 2,672 sales number is not totally representative due to the expected bump in sales that is coming up. In spite of this, in terms of competition in sales figures, this model isn’t really a strong competitor. It’s safe to say the Mini Countryman isn’t a really sellable car in the United States.
Mini Countryman
Nissan Armada
If an SUV with plenty of space is what you’re looking for, the Armada is surely a contender. It is an 8-seater and has an 8,500 pound towing capacity. It comes with full-size dimensions, a large 390-hp engine and many great features. At $46k, its price is reasonable but there is one downside – its poor fuel economy.
Nissan Armada
Lexus LX
Having combined the Lexus luxury and the Land Cruiser, the Japanese manufacturer delivered a monster with the Lexus comfort and Toyota’s best SUV’s incredible capabilities. The LX is a pretty capable offroader that comes with a land barge’s luxury and an $89,880 starting price. It sold only 1,491 units – less than other contender in its class. Since the market for high-priced SUVs isn’t large, the sales numbers for the Lexus LX are a marker that things are not about to change anytime soon.
Lexus LX
Nissan Murano
The Nissan Murano is an absolute bargain with its starting price of less than $30k. It may well be the best vehicle on this list, with comfort and technology that most customers would just expect from the best European brands. Nissan surely delivered not just an attractive SUV but also a capable one with the Nissan Murano.
Nissan Murano
Range Rover
The Range Rover’s sales figures may sound quite good at first, with over 5,500 units sold in Q1 of 2017, but in fact, it is among the worst selling cars in its class. Even with the Range Rover’s obvious positive qualities, its starting price of $85,650 certainly limits the market audience it has. In spite of this, the Range Rover is one great car, with its stylish exterior as well as good off-road performance.
Range Rover
Kia Soul Base
The Kia Soul is a crossover that is among the cheapest on the market now, but it is still a pretty good buy. With the distinctive grille of Kia, the Soul has a list of great options and a modern design. Its base model comes with a 1.6L engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, a USB port for streaming music, and Bluetooth connectivity. Even though its price goes up when you add more features, the Kia Soul is still a great option if a smaller SUV is what you want.
Kia Soul Base
Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 has only sold under 25,000 units in spite of other models having sold more than 100,000 demos on average. Why the sales numbers are low is still unclear seeing as this SUV is great with good build quality, decent performance, and a beautiful design. What’s more, this car received plenty of positive reviews from the buyers and the press. While this model experienced a good start, having a 3% growth at the start of 2017, the attention it gets is still less than what it really deserves.
Mazda CX 5
Jaguar F-Pace
The Jaguar F-Pace may be the first SUV of the brand, but it is one of the top SUVs in the class with incredible driving dynamics, fantastic styling, and naturally, powerful engines. It has a super comfortable interior and a well-appointed dashboard. The engine choices of this SUV go as high as a 380 hp supercharged engine. It has a starting price of $42k, but with all of the features it comes with, the price of the F-Pace is appropriate.
Jaguar F Pace
Bentley Bentayga
The sales figures of the Bentley Bentayga is remarkably low, but the reason is different from the other vehicles on this list. This luxurious SUV sold just 209 units and is priced at nearly $250,000. Because most customers cannot afford this car, the low sales numbers are understandable. In spite of this, the Bentayga was never intended to be an SUV that sold many examples, so its really low sales make sense.
Bentley Bentayga
Fiat 500X Pop
The Fiat 500X and the Jeep Renegade have the same engineering, but the exterior of the 500X totally matches the Fiat 500 hatchback’s exterior. Even the AWD capability of the 500X cannot distract from its circular headlights and pretty rounded appearance. As for its performance, the Fiat 500X is a delight to drive and has lots of agility. Without question, the biggest drawback is its design.
Fiat 500X Pop
Cadillac Escalade
In spite of a 14 percent decrease in sales throughout 2016, the Cadillac Escalade managed to sell 4,300 units and has a relatively good performance in the full-sized SUV segment in the US market. However, compared to the premium SUV market, that figure is pretty low. The Cadillac may be a company that is among the most well-known in the US, but the Mercedes-Benz GLS is slowly beating the Escalade.
Cadillac Escalade
Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition is one of the vehicles which started the SUV craze and continues to be pretty relevant with its design having been modernized. A full-size SUV, the Expedition is spacious and has modern construction. It comes with a 365 hp engine and can seat up to 8 passengers. What’s more, this versatile SUV has the ability to comfortably cruise a highway and tow 9,200 pounds!
Ford Expedition
Mazda CX-9
This SUV is another Mazda model that is doing relatively poorly in spite of having had the most significant increase in sales in its class – growth of 478% in 2016. Such a dramatic increase has led many to expect the Mazda CX-9 making a breakthrough before the new year starts, but at this time, it has only sold 6,300 units. To give you a clearer picture of what that means, it sold ten times less compared to the Ford Explorer, which sold more than 62,000 units during Q1 of 2017. Despite the low sales figures, the Mazda CX-9 is undoubtedly the best-looking in its segment as well as an excellent vehicle to consider due to its really good reviews.
Mazda CX 9
Porsche Macan
The release of the Porsche Cayenne, the brand’s first SUV, shocked the motoring world. At present, Porsche has an SUV that’s smaller but just as great – the Macan. It is a mid-sized SUV that is sporty and has excellent performance and handling which has received praise from car magazines. It may not be that spacious, but it has premium features, a base price of $48,500, and a 252 hp base engine.
Porsche Macan
Mazda CX-3
For a more compact SUV, the Mazda CX-3 is very practical since this smaller SUV has a lot to offer. This five-seater has remarkable build quality, a range of excellent features, and AWD as standard, with its price starting at $19,960. However, even if it has a sleek design, it still fell short and experienced a 24 percent drop in sales compared to the figures in Q1 of 2016, selling only less than 3,200 units while the Jeep Renegade sold more than 25,000 examples. Nevertheless, the CX-3 is surely one of the top SUVs in its class and deserving of your attention.
Mazda CX 3
Dodge Journey SE
The Dodge Journey SE is one of the biggest SUVs included in this list but costs low mainly due to it being very out of date. All its competition has 6 to 8-speed autos while it remains at a 4-speed auto. However, this is just part of the problem because the Journey has a box-like design that is old-fashioned and has been surpassed by the more modern and sleek models of SUVs. You should pretty much expect getting a mediocre performance when you decide to drive out of the dealership with this old-fashioned SUV seeing the Journey’s price point is rather low.
Dodge Journey SE
Acura MDX
The Acura MDX has an elegant style as well as a 290 hp engine. It is a third-row SUV but still offers great driving dynamics. Due to these reasons, this vehicle is included in this list. Its price starts at $45k and it’s a roomy, mid-sized SUV which is a great purchase because you would definitely get quality.
Acura MDX
Ford Escape
Despite its compact size, this SUV is very capable. The Ford Escape has great quality, ample space, and a wide variety of engines and options. It has a 168 hp four cylinder base engine but options range up to a 245 hp turbocharged engine, making this SUV quite the performer. Since the Escape has a high-performance engine, it can tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds – a pretty impressive feat as it is a compact SUV.
Ford Escape
Kia Sportage
The segment of small SUVs is one of the extremely competitive on the SUV market, with various manufacturers offering more than 20 different models. This segment is actually dominated by Honda, Nissan, and Toyota, while the Kia Sportage is nowhere near the top. It only sold 15,400 units and sales fell by 12% from the numbers in 2016. It’s strange because the Kia Sportage has great reviews and a sleek design, and it is priced at $23,200, which is actually competitive in the compact SUV segment.
Kia Sportage
Ford Edge
Obviously, the Ford Edge is attempting to get the market back from the Japanese and Europeans with its contemporary design and perfect proportions. A crossover SUV, the 2017 model has the most current driver’s assistance technology from Ford, including self-parking, the Sync 3 touchscreen, and keyless tailgate. Loaded with features and priced appropriately, the Ford Edge is certainly on its way to global dominance.
Ford Edge
Volkswagen Atlas
The market surely had to wait a long time for this SUV. The mid-sized Volkswagen Atlas is a three row SUV that has fantastic equipment, plenty of comfort, a bulky design, and a base engine with 235 hp and front-wheel drive. A 276 hp engine with all-wheel drive is an option as well. With a base price of just over $31k, the Volkswagen Atlas is definitely affordable considering its features, quality, and space.
Volkswagen Atlas
Nissan Juke S
The design of the Juke S is pretty funky, specifically for an SUV – rather surprising since Nissan tends to create stylish SUVs. Despite its exterior, the Nissan Juke S is a car that is great to drive, which certainly helps in getting past the style fail. This crossover is the most powerful in its class, since its engine comes with input from Nissan Motor Sport. The newer model may have CVT instead of manual transmission, but the previous model is still very impressive.
Nissan Juke S
Volkswagen Tiguan
Until now, Volkswagen still hasn’t completely recovered from the Dieselgate scandal that erupted in 2015, with their sales numbers in the different market segments reflecting this. The Tiguan is actually a decent SUV and it has Volkswagen’s standard quality and conservative yet sleek design. Yet, it only sold 10,000 units in North America, which is nothing in relation to the Nissan Rogue selling 101,000 units in the US alone. All the same, throughout 2016, the Tiguan experienced a 10% increase, so its sales are bound to rise in the future.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Hyundai Tucson SE
The 5-seat Hyundai Tucson SE is a smaller SUV which has many features for a vehicle that is priced under $24k. It boasts a smooth Bluetooth connection and touchscreen infotainment system as well as standard safety features like rear parking cameras along with autonomous emergency braking. All things considered, the Tucson SE is quite an impressive SUV for an attractive price.
Hyundai Tucson SE
Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i
The Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i may well be the Forester’s younger brother. The Crosstrek 2.0i is a compact sporty SUV and it comes with sharp gearing and boasts responsive steering. Without a doubt, this SUV was specifically designed for the driver. That said, Subaru certainly deserves to experience more success with the Crosstrek compared to what they are currently experiencing. The design of the exterior is a bit more aggressive than that of the Forester, but the current Crosstrek may be priced lower seeing as a new model is set to be launched.
Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
The new Romeo Stelvio is another mid-sized sporty looking SUV. It is Alfa’s latest effort to regain popularity in the United States market. It has with a nice interior, sleek exterior, and a 280 hp turbocharged engine. Its base price is $43k, so waiting for the Stelvio Quadrifoglio might be something you would want to do since it has aggressive looks and a 590 hp engine.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Hyundai Sante Fe
Much like Kia, Hyundai has been plagued with perceptions of low quality ever since it started exporting but both are attemtpting to change this. However, Hyundai has made progress with the Santa Fe being a great SUV priced even better. Not only that, Hyundai equipped the SUV with a lot of features, so it was able to deliver a mid-sized SUV which is well-balanced, enjoyable to drive and comfortable. In addition, the Santa Fe is available as a 7-seater, which makes it a wonderful family car.
Hyundai Sante Fe
Mitsubishi Outlander
The past few years have not been easy for Mitsubishi, with their cars seeming to have difficulty getting to any buyers despite the vehicles’ overall nice design as well as good quality. Unfortunately, the Outlander isn’t an exception, having less than stellar sales in spite of experiencing a 65% growth in sales since it got a facelift. In Q1 of 2017, it only sold under 10,000 units – trailing behind segment leaders by ten times. However, if you’re seeking a mid-sized SUV, getting an Outlander is a really good move.
Mitsubishi Outlander
Volkswagen Touareg
In the past, Volkswagen was a good seller, but these days in the US, the Volkswagen Touareg is among the worst selling SUVs. It’s simply one of the numerous Volkswagens which are still suffering due to the Dieselgate-induced sales flops. Only 802 units of the Touareg were sold in Q1 of 2017 and as time passes, its sales continues to fall even though it is actually a good car. The arrival of the Atlas is now set, so watch out for Touareg deals which are bound to happen.
Volkswagen Touareg
Jeep Patriot Sport
All but done, the Jeep Patriot Sport has a boxy design which is out of date right now but used to be the brand’s signature. What’s more, this Jeep also has hand-cranked windows and an underpowered engine. The brand still attracts plenty of buyers, but Jeep’s owners want to sell out the Patriot Sport as quickly as possible so that they can make way for their newer models. The newer Jeep Compass is intended to replace the Compass Sport and the Patriot as well.
Jeep Patriot Sport
Tesla Model X
In spite of a significant growth in sales with 4,300 unit sold during Q1 of 2017 from 2,400 units during Q1 of 2016, it is still a fact that the Tesla Model X isn’t a very bought vehicle. Even though it comes with amazing performance, even better equipment, zero emissions, and great design, alternative power still hasn’t caught on that much as of the moment. Sales figures may not be that impressive in comparison with other cars in its class, but the Tesla Model X remains a raging success.
Tesla Model X
Volvo XC60
Volvo is a brand which is long-standing and has safety, great reliability, and good quality on its side but the Volvo XC60 is actually not doing very well on the market in the US. At the moment, it has sold only 3,736 units and its sales only increased by 2% from the first quarter of 2016. With a replacement set to be released soon, the low sales numbers are not really surprising, but why the XC60 does not have more buyers in the US remains unclear. In terms of the Volvo XC60, it is our hope that the new generation has a more siginificant impact since it is an amazing vehicle in every aspect.
Volvo XC60
Lexus GX
The Lexus GX is fascinating because it not only has a powerful engine and a sturdy chassis but also luxury features. Basically, it is an off-roader which a luxurious exterior. It is reasonably price at $52,000 since you will get a full-size SUV with AWD as standard as well as a 301 hp V8 engine. It’s an SUV perfect for those who like going on adventures in style.
Lexus GX
Toyota Sequoia
Even though the Sequoia is pretty much the biggest Toyota SUV, it can hardly compete with Chevrolet and Ford models seeing as this car sold only 3,437 units in the first quarter of 2017. Apart from its low sales, it’s becoming more outdated, so the 11% growth it had from 2016 is rather surprising. Nevertheless, the Sequoia has had quite good reviews and there isn’t much difference between its price and those of the Tahoe and the Ford Expedition, so this SUV is definitely worth considering.
Toyota Sequoia
Mercedes-Benz G Class
With the low sales numbers of the Mercedes-Benz G Class, you might think people weren’t aware that it is already on the market. In the first quarter of 2017, it sold only 1,005 units in America, only a 3% rise since 2016, but this SUV is among the few offering true off-road performance with luxury, something buyers tend to forget. This could likely be due to its design, which has not been changed since its launch in 1979, and the fact that it comes with a $122,400 price tag. Despite having said that, this vehicle is among the most versatile SUVS on the market in North America, so if you’re looking for an SUV that has great performance, the Mercedes-Benz G Class is an excellent choice.
Mercedes Benz G Class
Fiat 500X
Another charming SUV that is well-built, the Fiat 500X has great qualities, yet it remains to be among the worst selling cars. Compared to Q1 of 2016, its sales went down by 50% and sold just 1,966 units. Strangely enough, the bestselling vehicle in its segment and the 500X actually have the same platform and many mechanical components. Unfortunately, the 500X ends up as just another Fiat flop in the American market since the brand still hasn’t managed to establish itself as upscale.
Fiat 500X
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
The SUV market is currently dominated by various soft SUVs which compete in comfort as well as road manners, though the Jeep Wrangler definitely boasts off-road capabilities as well as good drivability plus comfort. Those things as well as its classic rugged design that Jeep is known for make this SUV very much desirable. With a base price of under $29k, this capable SUV is surely a great deal.
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Cadillac XT-5
Even though its price starts at $40k, this SUV will definitely give you your money’s worth. The Cadillac XT-5 carries the brand’s virtues and signature style and it offers sufficient amount of space, within a compact frame. This SUV has optional all-wheel drive as well as a 310 hp engine, which makes it an an elegant looking excellent performer.
Cadillac XT 5
Ford Flex
With its bold design, the Ford Flex truly deserves much more love than what it gets. Outselling the Mazda CX-9 by a very small margin, the Flex is a lifestyle SUV that doesn’t seem to charm plenty of buyers seeing as the Flex sold only 6,100 units in Q1 of 2017, which means its sales went down by 5% compared to Q1 of 2016. It also doesn’t help that the Ford Edge sold almost 32,000 units in Q1 of 2017, which might be another thing that is killing the Ford Flex. The two models don’t really have a significant price difference between them, so if you’d like to have an SUV that’s good and reliable as well as stands out in a great way, the Ford Flex is the better choice.
Ford Flex
Chevrolet Trax LS
This small, if not uninspired, SUV is essentially a hatchback with AWD. Having been released in international markets, the capable Chevrolet Trax LS offers modern features even in the base models, like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rear view backup camera and keyless entry. In addition, the 2017 model got an exterior design that has been updated, but there is still room for improvement in this SUV before it turns into a best-seller. For the time being, Chevrolet is keeping it priced low so that turnover is maintained.
Chevrolet Trax LS
Chevrolet Tahoe
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a classic SUV, like the Ford Explorer. With plenty of space and a big body-on-frame, the Tahoe has incredible pulling power and a powerful V8 engine. Its price starts at less than $50k. For that amount, you’d be getting an SUV that is strong, capable, and big and comes with a variety of standard equipment, a range of optional extras, and a 335 hp engine.
Chevrolet Tahoe
Maserati Levante
The SUV has hit Maserati much like other well-known brands. While the Levante may come with a $74k price tag, it is an excellent sporty SUV with great style as well as performance with either a 345-hp or 424-hp engine. It can be a pretty elegant alternative to Audi Q7 or BMW X5. It may be lacking in terms of interior space, but it surely makes up for things in terms of style.
Maserati Levante
Kia Sorrento
For quite a while now, Kia and Hyundai have been selling their vehicles at ridiculously low prices. This move has helped them find new customers, but it has caused the value of their cars to drop as a result. The Kia Sorrento has a kind of square design, basic interior designs and is a mid-sized crossover. It’s good value for money.
Kia Sorrento
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V moniker is a fine piece of Japanese engineering that brings both value for money and a beautiful-looking car. The CR-V actually stands for “Comfortable Recreational Vehicle”. In this big model, you can fit up to five people comfortably, and in addition it offers different options for storage.
Honda CR V
BMW X1
BMW really surprised everyone with this sports car turned SUV. With a starting price of $34,500 it doesn’t offer much as an SUV, but rather as a small SUV, really. Putting aside the price, there’s a lot to admire when it comes to its capabilities. A 228 hp turbocharged engine combined with impressive road-holding and a easy transmission is a driver’s dream.
BMW X1
Subaru Forester 2.5i
Even if the box shape doesn’t do it for you, the Subaru Forester 2.5i serves as an impressive SUV. Its price is also worth it at less than $24,000. This SUV is loaded with Subaru’s Eyesight technology, which means it has two cameras at the front of the car for better vision of the road.
Subaru Forester 2.5i
Buick Enclave
If you have a family of 8, this SUV is definitely for you. In its class, it has one of the most spacious cabins of them all. It goes for a around $38,000, but you could get this vehicle at a lower price in some places. Seeing as a new model is not far away, you can expect a greater price drop.
Buick Enclave
Mercedes-Benz GLA
It’s surprising that one of the most affordable luxury SUVs on our list is the Mercedes GLA. A good reason for its affordability is because of slow and declining sales. If you’re looking to buy one of these, consider that you’ll probably pay between $25k and $34k.
Mercedes Benz GLA
Acura RDX
Despite having started it’s sale price at around $35.6k, the Acura RDX’s price has dropped substantially since its introduction into the market. This SUV boasts both AWD and FWD, a 279 hp engine, low maintenance costs and ample space all round. The Acura RDX received a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Acura RDX
Kia Sorento
There’s yet another Kia on our list. The Kia Sorento is an excellent choice for families looking for a mid-sized SUV. In total it can seat up to 7 passengers, but it doesn’t provide too much leg room or storage room when it’s at full capacity. Its base price is under $26,000.
Kia Sorrento1
Audi Q3
The Audi Q3 didn’t impress all buyers when it came out, but it does offer decent value for money. The Q3 has a beautiful interior, stylish outer designs and a 200 hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Its seating capacity is five adults, comfortably. Its starting price is about $32k.
Audi Q3
Infiniti QX30
At the moment the Infiniti QX30 is dropping in sales, and it’s a pity since it does offer affordability and a luxury-standard SUV. Its fuel economy is difficult to match, and it has an EPA rating of 33 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in the city. You can get yourself one of these cars for under $30k.
Infiniti QX30
GMC Terrain
Even though GMC’s Terrain’s sales have started to pick up, it is still less successful that other SUVs in its tier. A buyer can choose between 3 turbocharged engines, and even an option for a turbodiesel option. The starting price for this SUV is just under $25,000.
GMC Terrain
Toyota Land Cruiser
Are you ready for a throwback to the birth of SUVs? The Toyota Land Cruiser has standard FWD as well as a rugged platform. When it comes to speed bumps, thick mud or rough terrain, this guy knows no competition. You can expect to pay $84,300 for this bad boy, although there is belief that the price will start to decline based on 2017’s sales.
Toyota Land Cruiser
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
It’s quite a mouthful the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, isn’t it? Since the newer model took its limelight, this model hasn’t been selling as well. You can get this at $49,900, including FWD, a ground clearance of 8.4 inches, and the ability to get through 23.6 inches of water. A cool feature of this vehicle is the standard Land Rover Response system – drivers can adjust the SUV’s traction in accordance with the weather conditions outside.
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Audi Allroad
Subaru is dominating the U.S. SUV market, and that success can be attributed to the Subaru Outback since it takes credit for 90% of their sales. However, the Audi Allroad can claim as little as 1%, even though it offers more luxury and a similar base price – $44,500. The Allroad comes with a panoramic roof, leather seats and the standard MMI infotainment system.
Audi Allroad
Honda HR-V
We’ve seen the Honda CR-V on our list already, but now we’re discussing the Honda HR-V. In the last year, Honda saw sales of this SUV dropping by 6.7%. The car has become a lot cheaper as a result of this, now selling at approximately $19,670. It’s smaller than other SUVs which means it’s easier to maneuver, but that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Honda HR V
Subaru Outback
There’s good reason the Subaru Outback is doing so well. Some might consider it the best crossover SUV, even though it is technically a wagon. It has AWD, room for five passengers and enough space for storage. You can find it for $26,345 even though its sales have dropped by around 4.3% this past year.
Subaru Outback
Nissan Pathfinder
When it comes to space, the Nissan Pathfinder provides more than enough of it. With 80 cubic feet of cargo space and seven seats across three rows, you can definitely pack it into the Pathfinder. Recently sales dropped by 19.1% leaving it with a current base price of around $31,000.
Nissan Pathfinder
Lincoln MKC
The Lincoln MKC can boast being a luxury compact SUV. It’s equipped with comfortable seating, innovative technology, smooth driving and classy interiors. Its base price is about $7,500 less than the average SUV, at $33,995. Sales have taken a big dip since last year, 5.8%.
Lincoln MKC
Buick Envision
Even though it does have sporty features, the Buick Envision is still a fantastic luxury compact SUV. Other than ample room, connectivity features and impressive mileage, this SUV looks pretty good too. You can find the starting price on this model for about $31,995, which means it is quite a but lower than other SUVs in its class.
Buick Envision
Cadillac XT5
Space and luxury don’t always occur simultaneously, except for maybe in limousines. The Cadillac XT5 has all that and more with a powerful V6 engine and smooth driving guaranteed. Sales for this vehicle have dropped by close to 7.9% and it sells now for about $41k. Not a bad deal for such a vehicle.
Cadillac XT5
