Great job. You get to the point. We appreciate your opinions.
My first Toyota was a 1982 Celica. Ever since then, Toyota has been my favorite car brand
Considering the Forester. Thanks for the good info.
Appreciate the straight to the point information.
The CX-5 is a classic. Same body style since 2017 and it will change for 2024, but it's still a best buy and the design has been copied by so many CUV's.
I am cx5 turbo owner. This one is really a good vehicle. I enjoy driving, style and upscale interior.
Couldn't been better. You nailed.
Just reseved a 2023 Rav4 hybrid xse 4w yesterday. Cant wait
I would like to have a review of the 2023 2024 EVs...great video...Thanks for your information...
thank you so much for great review.
Thank you for the informative videos
Just got the Mazda Cx-5 last week.
Just love it ❤
On the verge of getting that or the Toyota Corolla Cross. Mazda has a better selection of interior exterior colors and better on noise reduction, high end look for the price. The Corolla Cross is much better on gas and is slightly smaller than the Mazda CX-5. The only thing hanging me up is, do I want to have less gas mileage than the car I currently have, or go with the better noise reduction, nicer interior but less gas mileage than my current vehicle. Definitely leaning towards the Mazda CX-50
I love my Mazda cx5! I had a Mazda 3 and drove it for 12 years! I got a decent trade in price for it also. I love mazda
I am averaging 7.5 litres per 100 kms. Which is not bad for the size of the suv.
Hii👋🏼 Shari,big fan of yours.I saw you on CBC Marketplace’s “How to buy a car without getting ripped-off” which is 5yrs old video.keep on shining Shari👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Great review. I’ve always owned Toyotas they’ve been reliable and that’s why when I changed my car recently I went for the Rav4. Absolutely love it.
How is the road noise in the rav4
@@whoawoahh it's really not bad at all but if that's your main concern go with the Mazda CX50
@@whoawoahh it’s actually pretty quiet. I have no complaints.
Is that xe or xle?
@@angeladlake8720 the Venza is based on the same platform and has a bit more noise dampening material, so the could also be a good alternative!!
Thanks, I according with you, RAV4 is the best choice in the list, good to see you!.
lol. Two # 2's on the list. Good review once again Shari!
Another great vid. Good ranking of these vehicles! The only issue is the Rav4, it's a 3 YEAR WAIT in Australia!!!!!
Wait . 3 years for a car? Nope! I could not even wait a girl for one year !
6 -12 months here in the states
Thank you for a great video.
I just picked up my brand new Corolla Cross XLE last night.
I am yet to drive it and explore, as it has bunch of what I did not have with my previous vehicles.
Looking forward to safe roads and years of tested and proven Toyota's reliability! 🥰🚗
i own the Cross XLE since April , i am not sure will you agree with me, the car is lacking of power and the interior quality is not as good as other Toyota . ( i also own 2019 and 2022 corolla hatchback)
@@walnoremac all true, I agree, but I am ok wit daily comute. After all, the Toyota quality, reliability, and value retention... are all the reason I forgive them for the underpowerage 😊.
And, if you look fairly, for $33K, you can't get much anything better nowadays.
@@walnoremac would you be interested in Crosstrek with 2.5 liter?
@@whoawoahh yes, it seems much better than corolla cross , but my family not like Subaru, so cant buy it
Very good list. I decided to give the 2023 sportage hybrid a chance.
RaV 4 I Love n would choose i now have one that a rental temporarily..but I just bought an Audi Q3. All w/drive. My son drives it more then me so
I would love to get the Telluride or Hylander- pilot seats n more space. Ty good to know.. n smart info!
Can you tell me about the Alpha Romero stelvia
My last two vehicles have been Honda CRV's. They are great a great SUV. However, the new models 2023 are not as good as the 2016 or the one I currently have the 2020. While I am not ruling out sticking with Honda, you made the RAV4 and the Corolla Cross sound pretty inviting.
This reviewer is Toyota biased
Don't be bamboozled
what rating do you give the toyota venza 2023 , looking for new lease thnx in advance
I wanted a Venza, ended up with a RAV4. Wish I had leased a Venza. Lots of Lexus parts and is built in Japan, not Kentucky so you know it will be as close to perfect as possible.
Thanks, but how about larger-size SUVs like the Honda Passport, Pilot or Hyundai Palisade, or KIA Telluride please ??
Love the kia sportage hybrids interior entertainment… BUT it dont come with adaptive cruise control.. unless u get the 40k one which is a special order. Crazy hard to find
I brought 2023 cx5 Gt trim soul red
Just watched other vids about various problems with the Rav, including the high voltage cable that will set you back over 5k to replace. And not sure how the claim of proven reliability can be placed on the Corolla Cross given that it’s so new.
Sure, Cross of course it's new it's improved.
I thought the high voltage cable issue was on the last model Rav 4
I'll have to look now
What about the waiting period on hybird suv's? Or one should go non hybird
I waited for 4 months to get a RAV4 hybrid last fall, but I turned down 6 cars because of color, options, and/or location of the factory.
The SE has a shorter wait, but it also is lacking options the XLE and XLE premium have
Hi thank you for all the information. Can you please do a review with the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2023 PHEV, in advance thank you and great job in all the updates in the car industry.
It's coming!
The base model Ford Maverick hybrid truck is very similar to the Escape, and the used Ford C-Max. Mazdas have great steering and better speakers for the price.
The Fusion Hybrids were very similar too
I have a 2004 Saturn Vue AWD 6 cylinder which has Honda engine. I like the vehicle. One or two are main passengers. But but I do and cary a lot for volunteer work and camping. I like nice leg room and back seats that fold down. Sooner or later I'll be looking for another SUV/Crossover. One about same size as my Saturn. Hybrid. By viewing this video it seems Honda CR-V might suit me best. Mazda is coming out out with hybrid in USA in 2024. I wonder if it will be midsize & roomy like my Saturn? I like the Toyotas but I understand no drive shaft which I prefer. Just don't trust battery to turn rear wheels.
I prefer the CX 5 than any off them. Just wish they had an offroad trim with the turbo engine.
They do for the new CX-50. It's called the meridian edition. I'm reviewing it next month.
I am surprised that the Tucson hybrid is not in the list. Can you please share where would you rank the new Tucson hybrid?
It would be next to the Sportage Hybrid. Same hybrid system, performance, interior tech. The Sportage just has a few benefits over the Tucson which is why I chose it.
I have a 2019 Nissan Murano with 67K miles that's been absolutely flawless! Comes standard with a 3.5 V6 engine. Change CVT fluid every 35-40K. And looks like a budget RX 350. I know it's design is very dated, but brand new 24s start at $38,000.
I would appreciate if you can sort your recommendations based on cabin noise, creature comforts and driving dynamics. Perhaps, you can share these statistics at the end of your presentation so that interested folks can directly access it. At the moment, I do like the options but if I am looking for the quietest, most comfortable option then that question remains unanswered.
Thanks for the feedback. I can tell you that Honda and Mazda go straight to the top for great driving dynamics. Between these two, comfort and quietness would be close, but Honda probably edges out Mazda, especially with the new 2023 CR-V. I will test these back to back soon!
CR-V, Outback, Forester, RAV4 Hybrid
@@stephen.p905 didn’t knew that Honda improved the CRV so much that it tops the list. I own a 2016 CRV but the build quality like panel gaps and alignment plus road noise leaves much to be desired
@@DragonWarrior976 I personally haven’t been in the new CR-V yet, but everything I’ve heard indicates it’s very comfortable and more premium than the previous gen. although road noise has improved slightly, it’s still a bit more noisy than average…
@@stephen.p905 CRV very expensive ,they priced very high in Canada
But I definitely appreciate all the other information 😁
In the mid-atlantic US market, new RAV4's are rarly
On the best coast, it is possible to get under MSRP, but never over.
plus they are on a 6-12 month wait list....I just bought the Honda crv hybrid...really great car. Feel like between the CRV and RAV4 you are really splitting hairs. So given the wait time on the Toyota...went with the Honda.
@@ChristinaHammersmith-dj2et The CRV has had serious mechanical issues in the past few years, it is risky. Not only do you run the risk of gas getting into your oil, the CR-V is gutless and gets worse gas mileage than a RAV4. That is just sad.
Last fall, I waited 3 months for a RAV4 hybrid and during that time turned down multiple RAV4s due to color, options, and being a fake Toyota(built in Kentucky). I could have gotten one in 6 weeks if I had low standards.
Hi. Your videos are great. I noticed you don’t mention Nissan. Is there any reason? Thanks
Their transmissions known for unreliability
My parents bought a new rav4 they love it. I didn't like it. The interior felt very cramp inside, the driver seat does not go back enough to get comfortable. I can put the seat all the way back and still feel very cramp inside. That's why I went with a new forester sport. I have tons more room and it feels very comfortable to drive. I absolutely love my Subaru forester and it's also my first Subaru.
As a 6’2 235 lbs I can attest the Subaru Forester is a pleasant ride and easy to get in and out from, and once inside the outward visibility is unbelievably, feels like you are in a fishbowl and you can see everything (fishbowl is a complement) I bought the 2023 Forester Touring in January.
I test drive the RAV4 before the Subaru and couldn’t believe the tire noise and so-so not so comfortable ride, how can this cramp little Suv be recommended for long distance driving is strange.
You made the right choice with the Forester by the way, happy 😃 driving.
I agree, it's so cramped for the size and the visibility on the Rav4 is not great!
Thank you for your review.
Is RAV4 still a good buy in 2023?
Considering only the Gas vehicle is available with slightly better wait times, would be a better bet than other SUV's in this list?
You can never go wrong with the RAV4. I've owned mine for only 6 months and it's such a great vehicle. You won't regret it!
I need you to make a mid-size suv video
Great great great
On the cross trek, the boxter engines have always been know for head gasket failures and cvt issues. Not just the cross trek but any Subaru. Has Subaru finally resolved this issue?
Yea since 2016 they finally charged they desgin
I’m thinking of getting the Toyota venza but idk if I should since apparently their all hybrids and idk if I can trust…
The Venza is very nice, it is basically a Lexus with a Toyota badge on it. Plus, Venza's are all built in Japan and not Kentucky like the RAV4, so they are just better. They are a bit smaller and pricier though.
I like the Forester, Toyota cross and Rav4 Thanks good presentation!
What's recommended for bigger people
The 2023 rogue is so nice
CX-5 is perfectly crafted SUV 👍🏻
Can you explain why you wouldn't recommend the regular/non-hybrid Sportage?
He has a worst SUVs to buy video that goes over why.
No doubt, care quality continues to drop.
Shari great list and video as always but I can’t even find one due to the so-called chip shortage I think it’s just another way for the manufacturers to bump up there prices
I know it's not ideal but it is possible to get any of these for MSRP if you order and are willing to wait.
@@carhelpcorner Not the Toyota Rav4. Test drove one & was told it was MSRP plus $5,000 to $7,000, depending upon model. Test drove a used Rav4 since no current Ravs were available on the lot. Price was the same even with a wait. Walked away. Not paying that. It's a Rav. The Rav - with its loud noise & not so great ride - isn't worth it, to me.
@@peppermintpatti58 I got an SE for MSRP. You just have to go to a non-scumbag dealership.
I absolutely love the Toyota RAV4.
Agree
Which crossover SUV is the safest?
Great choice for number 1 ,wonderful vehicle! Has Toyota repaired the hybird main high energy cable corrosion problem ,especially in the northern climates with road salt or snow excelling the corrosion problem with from what I’ve read a $7000 repair bill! Ouch to reliability if that’s the case!
They did change the design of the cover in 2022 as a remedy, yet to be seen if it is effective. I have one on order, I am going to walk away and refuse delivery unless they guarantee a lifetime warranty replacement on that part.
According to the Car Care Nut they have.
Corolla cross 6,5l/100km and Rav4 hybrid 6l/100km? The cross hybrid is close or under 5l/100km?
These are the published numbers for the Corolla Cross Hybrid in North America. Oddly lower than RAV4 Hybrid I know.
@@carhelpcorner strange official numbers here in europe for the 2.0 hybrid FWD with 197 hp are 5.1 (wltp). The new gen 5 hybrid platform of Toyota is an improvement over the gen 4. Next to that the new 12” infotainment system is a huge improvement over the RAV4. All its a few inches smaller then the RAV4 but pretty much identical with quite a few noticable improvements. (Hybrid version). Here in Holland tough there is just the FWD 2.0 hybrid version… no phev and no awd or petrol options.
My personal favorite is the Subaru Crosstrek, but I think the best in this list is Corolla Cross. I’ve heard RAV4 has a lot of cabin noise.
It's the low profile tires. Most vehicles today have low profile wide tires. Do some research on that.
Maybe it is because my RAV4 SE has 18" tires, but it is not very noisy. It is not quiet like a Lexus, but it is not loud either.
rav4 has worst road noise from all suvs hybrids I've tested. Engine noise is quite unpleasant too. No ideas why people call rav4 comfortable for long trips... Yes, seat is good, overview is great, but noise is terrible
I drove the Mazda CX50 & CX30, the Toyota Rav 4 and the Crossover. I checked out the Crossover because of the excellent gas mileage. But it was a noisy, rough ride. I don't know if it's worth it after having my luxury Sedan. Rav 4 was better as far as bumps and noise but the Mazda CX50 and 30 were the best as far as comfort, ride and noise.
Stick to Japanese built RAV4.
Why was the Tucson left off the list, most people put it as comparable if not better than the Rav4 and Sportage if not more expensive?
Trading in my Kia van 2017 with 170,000 miles...YES, I drive alot. Yesterday test drove RAV4 and Highlander. Satisfied with both. Difficult going from large van to RAV4. I want the Highlander/leather for the RAV4 price...cunundrum. I usually pay off my car notes and buy 2-3 yo used. Difficult feeling comfortable with brand new. I heard resale market excellent on ALL used cars. Maybe I purchase Highlander for 2 years then when I retire switch to RAV4 ..OPINIONS ANYONE????
Leasing isn't for everybody but for me I found that to be the best way to go. You're paying off the depreciation of the car with each payment but no interest. So at the end of your lease if you choose to buy out, It's usually the cheaper route to go in the long run. Better warranty plan. For example my car was 32, 000 ish. Two and a half years later my payoff price is just over $6,000. If I choose to buy out I will only be paying interest on the $6,000. Leasing monthly payments are usually cheaper than buying as well. The reason why leasing was better for me is because I feel more comfortable having the better option of repair and cost. Worth the research.
Right now, it is cheaper to buy new than a 2-3 year old used car.
I got a fully loaded 2022 RAV4 Hybrid SE for $37k last November and the lot had a 2021 RAV hybrid LE - the lowest trim - with 18k miles for $42k. It is nuts out there.
@@nobodyimportant7804 Can you explain why this is???
What about the Nissan rogue
Rav4 prices start at 38000 usd before taxes 😢. My mazda cx 5 carbon edition was 39k after taxes
I'm surprised that the VW didn't get an entry in this top...tiguan, taigo, t-cross or t-roc.
Edit: my favorite are CX-30 and Kia sportage...but I might change my mind for Subaru
Think this guy actually put the VW tiguan and the Atlas on his worst SUV's list
How about Hyndai Tucson?
Why not the Subaru Outback make your list, especailly the wilderness edition
What about the transmission problems on the Rav 4?
No rogue or Cx-50?
Interesting guy
The skip over #4 and the 2 #2s threw me off a bit!
I'm suprised the new hyundai tucson didn't make the list. It's the same cost as the Honda HR-v with better fuel economy and much greater cabin and cargo space, and offer the greatest warranties!
Cause it's junk
@@jordanfinzi why
I agree. I thought it should have been in the top five atleast.
@@allaboutcars4012 I completely agree
I had a hyundai 2013 for 10 years now and it's been great.
I don’t know if anyone notices, but when he was reviewing the HR-V, you see the same guy in the black shirt 3 times lol
Usually the Hyundai Tucson is in the top 3. Surprised to not see it in the list.
Hi I would buy a Mazda CX50 GT 2.5 Turbo over any of these models.
Why in Canada all official dealers doesn't have cars? And you need to wait from 2 months to 9 months.
Rav4 is for smaller people. I found it cramped and not enough legroom when I test drove one. Tuscon hybrid or Forester my pics.
Did it have power seats? I have that in the SE and it has a wide range of movement from front to back and up and down. I'm 5'9" and can lower it so far I can barely see over the steering wheel and raise it where my head is about two inches off the ceiling. I can move it back where I can barely touch the pedals.
@Nobody Important Yes, as it was a hybrid. I think it was the XLE trim. I'm 6'3" and just remembered it stopping, and I was like wait thats as far back as it goes. I am still unsure of which vehicle I want now. Santa Fe Hybrid is on my radar as well.
@@goinhoff Okay, I was curious how tall you are and how comfortable it is for tall people.
Good video, but you forgot to include Hyundai Tucson or SantaFe, and what about a Mitsubishi??? Let's be fair bro!!
This is a list of good cars.
RAV4 HYBRID THE BEST!!! NO DOUBT!!!
CX-5 for the win
What about kia seltos?
I have always been a Ford buyer, but their insane new pricing has priced me out of their market. How an Escape is priced in the mid $30's is beyond my comprehension. It will be a Mazda this time around.
Finally you’ll get a vehicle that lasts longer than a popsicle on a summer day. 😅
Where would be Nissan Rogue in this list? Would it be out of the top 10?
I just ordered a RAV4 XLE and the sales man said it could take up to a year for me to get the car😢
I went with a 2023 BMW X1 28i after my 2022 Rav4 xle premium hybrid was deemed a total loss after being rear ended. I actually paid a little less for my BMW then the marked up Rav4. Much happier with the X1 honestly. 49k for my fully loaded top of the line m sport x1, 52K for my not fully loaded Rav4 . Talk about totally outclassing the Rav4 in the price range. U had me fooled toyota. The BMW feels like a spaceship in comparison tech wise. Noise on the Rav4 was annoyingly high. Brakes felt off on the toyota. Cheap interior comparably. The only rhing better to me on the rav 4 hybrid was gas mileage. But u can get the X1 in hybrid or electric so thats a wash. I still the the Rav4 is a decent car but not for the price. The x1 is a 40k car that looks and feels like a 60k car, the rav 4 is a 50k car that looks and feels like a 30k car.
I hope it lasts. Barvarian Money Wasters after 3 years get really expensive to own and run
Had all kinds of electrical issues with my x1 back then. Good thing bmw bought it back...
The latest reports put BMW reliability up there with both Lexus and Toyota and ahead of Honda. I agree, that the BMW X1 is an excellent choice in the small SUV market. Better ride quality and features than the "bargain" brands for the same or less money depending on the options chosen. I have 125,000 miles on my X1 and there have been no issues, just regular maintenance.
Toyota lexus all the ways! I own a 2010 RX with 260k and 22 4Runner…..can’t go wrong with it.
Cost of ownership too high on the Lexus! Between premium gas and premium repair costs...plus huge depreciation.. not really worth it in the long run.
I would buy Toyota RAV4 hybrid
GOOD CHOICE!!! I HAVE 2022 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID CRUISER, IT'S AMAZING, SMOOTH RIDE, PETROL EFFICIENCY ABOVE ALL, SOOO AGGRESIVELY GORGEOUS👌👍👍❤️
Just as a correction, Mitsubishi offers the best warranty in Canada :) as opposed to Kia. Our outlander has been outstanding in all aspects. Best in class safety features, best AWD drive system and best warranty. Also these have all been proven, not just my opinion. I believe it’s also under 40k
True in Canada you can't beat the Mitsubishi powertrain warranty.
@@carhelpcorner I was genuinely shocked the forester wasn’t on here as I thought over 5 years it retained 60% of its value for under 40k as well
@@codygibson3765 The Subaru Forester is on the list; at number 4 I believe.
It's funny how the worst cars have the best warranties. I guess they need something to entice people to buy it.
@@nobodyimportant7804 you can look at it from that ignorant standpoint. The other side is manufacturers standing behind, and trusting their product. Mitsubishi has been around forever, they’re reliable, and with their long tenured experience with electronics money will be saved in that respect. Honda is considered “reliable” and yet transmission issues, and oil burning have become more prominent in them. 3 years 60k warranty would make me question just how much they believe in their product
I like Honda CRV best, but dealers are charging additional markups for these highly sought-after SUVs. Plus, they are adding accessories that are costing consumers $3,000 more. I will not be buying from any dealer that forces consumers to buy accessories that we didn't select. So I will keep shopping around until I find a decent price.
You can find them without the markups if you shop around enough. We work with one Honda dealer in Ontario that even offers discount off MSRP!
Typical Honda. You pay more to get less.
@@carhelpcorner which dealer, can you name it, as I am looking to buy, thanks
@@gardenia8213 When I decide plan to check Costco resources.
HI .My choice is Toyota RAV4
GOOD CHOICE!
2023 Kia Sportage Hybrids are amazing value. I've heard nothing but stellar things from reviewers and owners.
I also disagree with their rating of the '23 Sportage Hybrid. It has just a little better overall MPG, larger cargo area, more hp, and less expensive fully loaded than the #1 rated RAV4. Not to mention the 10yr/100,000mi warranty.
@@thmpr52 You will regret it once the Kia hits 105k miles and the repair bills start piling up.
@@thmpr52 They do that to entice people to buy their garbage. Kia is well-known for putting all sorts of escapes in their warranty. Some of their crap starts burning oil inside 20k miles and they will not fix it unless it is burning well over a quart of oil every 1000 miles - let that sink in. Even then, they will try to get out of fixing the problem. They don't care about you, at all.
Ever wonder why the most reliable cars don't have the longest warranties?
Without watching let me guess, from 1-9 are all variations of toyota and no. 10 is a subaru
Great video Shari !
Has anyone else noticed that the one thing all these vehicles have in common…
They all have either Depressing Grey or Death Black interior. 🤮
After 33 years of these drab colors, it’s no wonder that people are not happy overall.
85% of Americans have Grey houses with white trim, Grey color motif interior colors, Grey, silver or another dark gloomy colored vehicles with disgusting dark drab interior colors.
As a psychologist, people have vehicles or paint their homes in reflection of their mental health and how they perceive themselves and life as a whole.
Bright and cheerful colors are a sign that you / others are happy within themselves and have a bright outlook on life.
When we finished building our house we painted it a pale yellow with white trim. A neighbor complained that our house is too cheerful looking.
Yes they have a grey house, a grey Jeep, a black pickup and a black van. The interior of their house is dark drab colors. They’re heavy drinkers and seem depressed all the time.
Such a sad way to live
Mazda is your best shot for getting an interior with actual color. They have some nice light tan and even red leathers with contrasting colors that look quite sharp.
@@carhelpcorner Thank You
@@carhelpcorner I have to agree. As far as choice of interior and exterior color and good on noise reduction I prefer the Mazda CX-5
Thoroughly agree. Such depressing colours everywhere. Our local hospital, yes, hospital was painted a bitumen grey colour after major renovations and our local supermarket was painted black, looks like Mad Max. Its a fact that bright colours are uplifting. Have just been looking at new xars and they are all black interior, how dark and depressing.
@@karenmyers3444 My wife’s Outback has Ivory interior and my Forester is bronze metallic with saddle brown leather interior.
People complement how pretty and classy our interiors are.
😍☺
subaru forester is very nice but not good for trunk. The bar just attached to back seat makes its space narrow. I hate it!
toyotas are the best
LEGEND!👌👍
Rav 4 top
Ladies and gentlemen, stop letting well spoken individuals convince you that cvts aren't bad. Any transmission highly prone to failure is a bad transmission. Nothing with a CVT is good on that principle alone. GDI is shit too but nowhere near as cvt
CVTs made by Jatco(Nissan) are bad.
They don't have to be. Toyota's e-cvt is rock-solid and isn't the same thing as those laughably bad Nissan CVTs
Unfortunately none of these can accommodate my 6'5 frame!!!!
What about Jeep Cherokee?
Definitely check out a Chevrolet Trailblazer as well if you are in the market for a budget friendly yet modern/tech car.
The best rated Ford Escape is the hybrid SE sport at 60 and the SE model is only a 55 as rated by Consumer Reports.....Terrible numbers, why is it in this list?
Never buy Ford, Chrysler, GM, VW, Audi, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Kia, or Hyundai and life is good.
I don't care much for this title and thumbnail these aren't really suvs but more sedan xls but I did have an escape s for a little while it was cool
