Some of these are midsized SUVs. I consider Outlander to be Mid.

One area that is rarely considered is reliability. It is all nice that the vehicle is spacious and has cool tech but if it is in the shop or parked by the side of the road to frequently then none of that matters.

@saltwaterjoyskelleyjoyce-f8114 Great comment. One reason we stayed away from one specific "reliable" brand. Looked used first to see how they looked at 3 years, and surprised at how bad a car can look after only a few short years.

If you don't mind a smaller space and the fuel economy. I think CX-5 is such a great car with top tier build quality, amazing HP with the turbo engine, great handling, soft/comfy ride, very quiet/well insulated cabin, known reliability with SkyActive engines and a solid sound system. Mazda's attention to detail and putting so much effort into R&D on their cars really wins me over. I don't care paying few extra bucks at the pump so it's my personal No.1 for sure!

I see why Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage score higher in Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV realiability, quality, luxury, price, and warranty. 1.2 m recalls from toyota for airbags deployed again and 2.5m recalls from Honda fuel pump failures. So that beats this toyota and honda rhetoric nonsense.

Accurate list of 2024 best car in terms of reliability and warranty: 1. Hyundai Tucson 2. KIA Sportage 3. Mazda CX-5 4. Honda CR-V 5. Mitsubshi Outlander 6. Nissan Rouge 7.Toyota RAV4 8. Subaru Forester 9. VW Tiguan 10. Ford Escape

I am planing on buying a 2024 Hyundai Tucson in the fall!

Started shopping last fall (Sep '23) for a "compact Hybrid SUV" with priority given to cargo room. Our top 4 options were Rav4, CRV, Tucson and Sportage (again, all Hybrid models). Final choice: Sportage EX Hybrid, and we went on a "2 -3 month waiting list" in October: vehicle is now targeted for delivery at the end of Feb (and will be a 2024 model). The Sportage will be our third hybrid model (technically the hybrids have been my "wife's cars"): first a 2006 Prius (which she loved), and currently a 2017 Ioniq (which she loves Even More than the Prius!). The Ioniq has around 75,000 miles on it, has been largely trouble free (nothing serious, although just replaced rear brakes last week), and we will keep it as a daily commuter, using the Sportage for trips (hence the desire for more cargo space). We took a test drive in a '23 Sportage EX (Hybrid) and were very impressed with the performance and ride (relatively speaking, of course), and our experience with the '17 Ioniq suggests that the Kia (Hyundai) hybrid system is Likely to be reliable. A "real" transmission - vs CVT - and 18" wheels were also selling points: the 19" wheels on Tucson & Sportage SX don't seem practical given the overall condition of Michigan roadways, AND we enjoy camping, which often involves driving on some rather poor secondary / gravel roads. YMMV....

Some ideas for videos.. a reliability comparison of the different vehicles, like minivan and 3 tow suvs.

@Cleaning_Hero

Reliability isn’t as easy to compare. Hearsay is quite misleading. Without solid statistics from each of the automotive manufacturers, it’s not possible to make an accurate comparison. The best one can do is read a few hundred owner reviews, but not on forums or social media. Those outlets are primarily used by people who are troubleshooting a problem. Secondary sources, but are also misleading, include JD Power Initial Quality Study, Consumer Reports, etc. Also talk to brand technicians, techs who work at the dealerships that sell the cars new. I like to look at crash tests, too.

Thanks guys. I'm looking for a new suv, and I have to do it with my mom in mind. I need my 90 year old mother to be able to get inside the vehicle with my help, but also I need room for her wheelchair. What do you recomend? Keep in mind low to the ground, so she can step up and space for wheelchair. You will help a lot of people taking care of their aging parents, if you touch on something like that, and I think more people will tune in to listen. I know I will.

Is it me, or am I the only one who misses hard buttons? I have test driven almost all of the SUVs in this video and that is one of the big factors for me. This was a fantastic video, but my point is we all have differences in what we want, so test drive them all and make up your own mind.

Your ratings are based on aesthetics and looks of the cars. I am more concerned about reliability, recalls and operation of the car. You might buy a very nice car fully loaded , but you might get a lemon. That is why the top two cars on your list do not hold a good resale value. I believe your reviews are misleading for novice buyers or for buyers who do not have a knowledge of cars.

You guys probably picked these vehicles in the closest order to what I’d choose. I shopped all but the Outlander (which I find ugly) , and just bought a Tucson Hybrid. I love it and it has the power the regular engine lacks and it gets double the city mileage of my 2020 Escape. While not my first pick it was what I got due to lack of availability. Ford doesn’t get enough love for their tech which is better than the Tucson but I was won over my interior quality and the warranty and value. No one mentions this but I’d love you to do some comparative reviews of manufacturer’s driver assist functions. I preferred Ford’s adaptive cruise to Hyundai’s and Ford has auto park (gimmicky but pretty amazing). It takes some work to see how these systems work in the wild. I prefer Hyundai’s cross traffic and lane keeping but found Ford’s adaptive cruise and front collision braking better (Ford’s seems more reliable to me but both have limits).

I purchased a hyundai tucson hybrid in 2022 and I know it share the same tech and feat with kia and I traded it to Rav4 Hybrid and here's why 1. I live in manitoba winter is real af the placement of the sensor of tucson is so low it always get covered by snow send some annoying notifi every time 2. Turbo system got freeze-up too cold dealership say you just need to heat em up and drive it normaly - with a check engine light on lol i dont think so 3. Factory fog light not included cause it has no place for to begin with at front. Not all driver like to DIY for sure but that so damn helpful specially at time when you were driving at a foggy days, that feel tho. 4.Head light placement is so low always coverd with dirt make visibilty at night driving lesser. 5.Infotaiment and climate knobs oh man why hyundai? 6.and do not spray to hard when washing on that front lower lip facia it will pill-out the dark flakey color coat hahha But all in all a good SUV. Honda CRV 2024 hybrid touring i test drive it as my second option. Jesus Christ! 1. 50+k CND no rear heated seat. Goodluck to that. 2.

I can't believe I'm considering a Kia. The Tucson's grill is just to ugly and the Sportage headlight design grabs attention away from it's only slightly better looking grill. The only thing that makes me question the reliability of the Sportage other than it being a Kia is the technology based design. Analog and simple is always better while flashy and more will likely cost you. Before buying a hybrid you should check the cost of replacing it in ten years or less and compare it to what you save in gas. I put 5k mile a year on a car and figured out it would take me 30 years to recoup the costs of owning a hybrid. And don't get me started on CVTs. Don't attack the messenger do a basic Google search.

No love for Buick Envision?

I mean no offense, and I know you want to build yourselves as well as your channel....but less time of you 2 on camera and more B roll footage of actual cars you are reviewing would be better I watched the whole video but I had to stop constantly to open a new screen to look up the car you were talking about. You have great opinions but id like to hear them WHILE seeing more of the car. =)

Thanks for the feedback for future rankings videos 👍

The cars you picked for the top some of them don't have reliablte

Would have not thought that kia and hyundai would come out on top. Fishy

What about reliability score?

Vehicle safety features are advancing yearly, why on earth do you need to own a vehicle for 10-15 and those safety features are outdated.........

hyundai tucson

I have a 2023 Tucson Limited and a 2023 CR-V EX-L. Obviously the two are completely different vehicles in terms of style, meaning that the Tucson has a sportier “compressed” feeling and the CR-V feels larger and more functional. For us, the CR-V wins out because of the roomier feel and because it has the “automatic door lock after walk-away” feature. Not many vehicles have it.

Most people are not that lazy that they can't lock their doors....

@@maximus11400 I agree that it seems trivial/lazy, but once you have this convenience then you begin to appreciate it. I did some research and found out that the “auto-lock after walkaway” may be a feature on European Hyundais.

Mazda CX 5 all the!!

CRV hybrid is the one to get IMO

What about reliability!

The koreans will forever be #1 and 2. I mean there is no outdoing them. I was surprised to see that rav4 go down. I forgot the outlander existed 😂. Its very underrated indeed.

1.5T "Sluggish" CRV should be in the #10, interior design and center screen dated.

The latest CRV is top class with the interiors.

@@Gopinathk17 I've not heard anyone praise the interior of the CR-V other than being user-friendly and simplistic. You have your choice of either black or gray for cabin colors.

Kia and Hyundai get stole by kids like they steal candy. What about resale value, and reliability, longevity?

You should have also considered other aspects like Safety, Reliability, mpg and Resale value etc. For me: 1. RAV4 2. CRV 3. Forester 4. Rogue 5. Mazda 6. Tucson 7. Sportage 8. Tiguan 9. Escape 10. Equinox

Over 2m recalls from both Honda and toyota this week. Hyundai and KIA should be number 1 or 2 on this list.

@@maximus11400 looks like you are over educated. Check some sources before you make comments. I'm 2023 Rav4 and CRV had 1 recall and Kia Sportage had 6 safety recalls. Sportage had issues with every part like power train, body, brakes, airbag, electrical system etc..Good luck if you still believe they are better.

RAV4

I would rather pay much more for a rav4 than to throw my money away for a Hyundai and Kia. You can give both 25 out of 25 score for all I care.

Hyundai at first?!?! 😅😅😅😅 It’s a rank chart

WHY ISNT GM SUVS ON HERE?

Mazda CX50 better then most on the list
