Most Reliable New Midsized SUVs You Can Buy Right Now
Consumer Reports' surveys show which of these popular two- and three-row SUVs are smart buys for the long haul
Midsized SUVs combine roomy interiors and plenty of cargo space in a package that’s still relatively easy to drive and park. Some models come with all-wheel drive for rough weather, and a few offer a compact third row of seating that adds flexibility.
But some of the most popular midsized SUVs are also among the least reliable, according to our exclusive survey data, which includes information on more than 300,000 vehicles. To keep you from wasting your time and money on repairs down the road, Consumer Reports compiled this list of the most reliable new midsized SUVs based on those insights. That way, you can make a smarter purchase decision.
The two- and three-row SUVs below have above-average and well-above-average reliability ratings. On top of that, each comes standard with key active safety equipment, including automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, highway-speed AEB, blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW), unless otherwise noted. These SUVs also performed well in government and insurance-industry crash tests if they were tested.
