Crossovers do a little bit of everything, which is why they’ve become a popular choice for many car buyers. We’ve found the best options in the segment for you. Read on.
Mazda CX-5
This excellent crossover has interiors that belong in the luxury segment and a full suite of active safety features as standard on all trims. Its steering and handling outperform everything else in the segment, and this performance is only enhanced by the G-Vectoring Control Plus tech. The Mazda CX-5 starts at $26,370.
Volkswagen Tiguan
It’s one of the biggest crossovers in its segment and even has a tiny third row. The driving experience is refined even if the efficient 184hp engine feels a tad underpowered. Its ride prioritizes comfort over sportiness, the interior is minimalist with hard materials and has a decent feature list. Cargo space with the third row up is minimal, but the third row itself is a rare offering. The Volkswagen Tiguan starts at $26,440.
Honda CR-V
This well-rounded crossover has neat driving manners, a versatile and well-packaged interior, and delivers what most buyers need. Its engine has a decent blend of power and efficiency. There’s even a very efficient hybrid trim with all-wheel drive. The way the CR-V’s interiors work for people and cargo, though, is unparalleled. It relaxes you and makes driving easy. The Honda CR-V starts at $26,270.
Toyota RAV4
Distinctive styling, practical interiors, and sharp driving dynamics keep the Toyota RAV4 attractive and relevant. Its hybrid variant, the RAV4 Prime, is special. It has 40 miles of all-electric range, 302hp, and even beats the Toyota Supra 2.0 in acceleration tests. Premium infotainment features are standard. The engine is a little loud, but people tend to enjoy the zesty notes emanating from it. The Toyota RAV4 starts at $27,125.
Nissan Rogue
The all-new Rogue is way better than its predecessor. It has upgraded its details and refinement. There’s a better seating position, nicer interiors, and a lot of standard and optional features, including all-wheel drive. There’s only one 181hp 2.5L powertrain option, but it’s faster, more refined, and more fuel-efficient than the outgoing version. The CVT operation is also pleasant. The Nissan Rogue starts at $28,145.
