Moral of the story, just buy Japanese if you want reliably and piece of mind
Bought the Toyota Cross 2024 hybrid and it’s sooper smooth and comfortable.
We just bought a new 2024 Rav4 Hybrid limited after test driving both the Honda CRV Hybrid and our Toyota. I agree with you about the Honda being a bit more spacious, and some what smoother and pleanant drive. We have several reasons for our final happy choice. The Honda was considerably more costly to buy, and I asked myself if the extra expense was worth it? The Rav4 Hybrid also has a much better resale value so you will spend more and loose more when you sell or trade in. The difference I have found to be 5 to 8 thousand dollars total. The Honda does have a higher safety pick, but the Rav4 certainly is a well built safe car that should give years of good use, and then sell for more money in the end. I believe that it would be a good idea to include resale value of a car in it's total expense, that way you can make a better decision in your purchase.
Your videos were among the most helpful in choosing a new vehicle, thanks! I got a 2024 CR-V Sport Hybrid and happy with the selection so far.
Great to hear! Enjoy your new car!
@@carhelpcorner hello, do the CRV hybrid more valuable than the CRV EXL gasoline after 8 years?
In your video of ten best SUV for 2024 you mentioned the Lexus NX question why you picked the NX over the acura RDX please respond thanks have a safe day.
Make please “best used small SUV” video, would be great to find out
My 23 vw Taos after 4 check engine lights is doing pretty good , till it needs a head gasket should be even better than suburu crostrack and its running rpm for first 3 min to warm up a engine
Yes I do. I haven't bought a GM since the government buyout.
Japan makes the best cars in the world. 😂
If you deny this fact 🤨 than you drunk or confused or maybe both 😂
You hit the nail, Made in Japan are the best quality.
Fact
Except for Subies
The Honda CVT is better than the Subie
Ese color de honda está. Bonito 😍
Definitely go for the Subaru Forester.....
I have 2021 crosstrek and I love it! I'm sad they stopped making the hybrid version bc I wanted to trade mine in for the hybrid. My next car will most likely be the corolla cross hybrid though.
I’m a Subaru Forester since 2000. ❤❤❤
Whats your review on the subaru forester? Im thinking of getting one. Need the owner opinion. Thanks.
@@khairiahkhairulnazri424 My 2019 Forester has been great. 50,000 miles no problems 29 mpg overall.
What about dacia duster?
Honda CRV for sure would be my pick. Absolutely in awe with its new look.
Um... im new to cars, was thinking of buying a Tesla Y, its like 35k do you reccomend?
The Toyota I CVT is a work of art that lasts
This is ecvt. Completely different one
I have a 23 Hybrid Rav 4. It is the best car I have ever owned. My only regret is not trading in my Mustang convertible.
Doesn't Honda CR-V use CVT transmission?
CX50 is amazing
Im getting a RAv 4 but am thinking of a Mazda cx 50 but they're real expensive here in Canada.I also like Subsaru and HOnda
Toyota RAV4 & Honda CRV… the only two that I would buy.
How about 2024 Mitsubishi eclipse cross?
Short answer… Japanese cars… like everyone didn’t already know that 😂
We did know it, but we like hearing it over and over.
best for $
Nissan is not recommended by any serious reviewer due to its reliability history.
@@vulcanman64 I have a 2016 Frontier, thing is a tank!
Mazdas with Toyota's hybrid system are the best.
Subaru crosstrek vs the masda 30? which would you recommend?
We just had our second Suburu Outback this year towed due to the transmissions. 2018/well kept! TWO of them. I'm buying a non-CRV Mazda.
Kia Sportage👍👊
The Honda website says all CRVs come with a CVT transmission. I haven't heard anything good about CVT's from my local mechanics. Makes me hesitant to buy the CRV.
The CRV gets many recals and cost at least 5 k more than a rav 4
Great video Shari, I completely agree with Lexus, Toyota and Mazda are super reliable. It’s funny they are all essentially the same company.
I am having trouble agreeing with Subaru although Toyota partially owns them. I have had clients that spend expensive repairs with catalytic converters and oil leaks. As for Honda, the jury still out on that, they have had issues with their engines increasingly.
It's funny that I guessed every SUV in the same order except the RAV 4 I put first over the CRV. Of course not 1 American SUV made the cut as usual.
👍🏻👍🏻
Are there many brand new crossovers in this group that are 100% manufactured in Japan ? Thank you very much for your list . i agree that these are a great choice to buy 👍
Subaru crosstrek is completely built in Japan
@@mukulsingh2540 For the US market, only the 2.0 liter Crosstreks are built in Japan. All 2.5 liter models will be built in the states.
I think the CX-5 is also built in Japan?
Just bought a cx5 2024 that was built in Japan.@@mukulsingh2540
My wonderful old 2007 honda fit was built 100% in Japan. It's still running ❤❤
I'm days away from a new car. I thought I wanted a RAV4 hybrid or prime in XSE. I recently drove the Sportage XLINE Prestige plug in. I keep cars 10-15 years and i worry about longevity if the Kia.
Don't get a Kia! Your best bet is a Honda CRV, Mazda CX30/CX5 and a T RAV4
My Kia Sportage is a 2009 and I’m now looking for a new one. It has been a great SUV.
Kia is all over the map in reliability for the past decade. If you like the Kia more, buy it and then sell it in 10 years when the powertrain warranty runs out. Invest the $5k you'll save over the Prime to cover minor failures and the much worse resale. I would go for the Prime RAV4 myself.
@@Giardintek google Honda CRV reliability issues. Honda is number 15 for reliability right now. It is far from number one or two.
My uncle suggested a Kia to me, as I'm looking for a vehicle. I told him, "No thanks. They get stolen WAY too often!!
I know any car can get stolen, but the Kia is at the top of the list! I think I'm going to go with Toyota or Mazda.
#9 Crosstek, 99/100 reliability, that's insane
#1 CRV, 78/100 reliability
The CX50, the Raw4, and the Forester. belongs to a different segment. In my opinion.
I own a 2020 Honda CR-V, and I do love it. It's roomy for its size and feels solid. I know there are skeptics about the 1.5T engine and the CVT, but thus far, at 31K miles, it hasn't given me any problems. Plus, in my opinion, Honda actually make one of the better CVT's in the business. It's definitely not the problematic Jatco CVT that's been the long-time Achilles heel for Nissan.
How about the Lexus UX?
Best small SUV
In Norway the RAV4 starting price is about 70k$ and the Honda Cr v starting price is about 64k$
but but Norway has trillions in the Bank 😂 But citizens are taxed to death and have no money
@@mikej238 that's for sure atleast you understand because alot of people think people in Norway r Rich but we aren't atleast not the majority
Nice country .. saw the movie "Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway"😄
What about the Mazda CX 90, the plugin?
Did I hear that right? The CRV hybrid has an automatic transmission NOT a CVT?
Actually Honda's hybrid system doesn't have a transmission. Just two electric motors and an engine.
@@carhelpcorner Thanks for the reply. I really enjoy your videos. Can you do an update video on your Mazda?
10. Subaru Forester spacious, reasonable price
9. Subaru Crosstrek good towing
8. Mazda CX 30 not spacious
7. Honda HRV spacious
6. Mazda CX 5
5. Mazda CX 30
4. Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid or conventional, most affordable hybrid and crossover
3. Lexus NX not cheap
2. Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid -LE , SLE,
1. Honda CRV hybrid z pricy
I love my 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid. So far, I've had no maintenance issues. Granted, I have less than 10,000 miles on it. MPG is between 40 and 46. Colder weather, the MPG is on the low end. Some things I wish were better. 1st and foremost, a spare tire. Toyota which generally does great with engineering and design picked the wheel well in the trunk for the Hybrid battery high voltage cables. Go figure! There is no rear leg room if the front seats are pushed all the way back. The passenger front seat can be tight since the glove compartment sticks out. Only one cup holder in the center console is usable since the storage box lid sticks out over the rear cup holder.
One other thing I wish all car makers would do with their safety features. There should be a warning light at least on the right side of the rear view mirror to work with the one on the passenger side view mirror to indicate a blind spot issues. One could be on the left side of the rear view mirror to work with the driver's side mirror as well. The reason for the right warning light on the rear view mirror is that turning to look out the passenger side view mirror takes your eyes away from looking forward at the road. It's less of an issue when looking out the driver's side view mirror.
CX30 and HR-V both need to have a HEV Options...bring back the Hybrid to the Crosstrek also.
Game changers once those get done.
Toyota is wayyy ahead in the Hybrid category.
Honda muy. Bueno. Autos 😊
Go buy I Toyota venza 2024 40mp of gasoline
Corolla LaCross
I would take the CRVif it offers yhe 360 csmera or else the RAV4.
Toyota cross hybrid?
He spoke about this in the video!
You are right, somehow I missed it@@Steve_in_NJ
So if this is the most reliable list, why isn’t the Crosstech #1🤔
Dude !! Where's the Tucson or the Kia Sportage?
Tuscan with under 30000 had two sensors go out & left me stranded..
Lexus NX
How about Mitsubishi outlander 2024 not in the list?
................................ LEXUS..... NX.........Specifically the 450h+ "F" Sport ( MADE IN JAPAN ONLY.) ...... the very best without a CVT transmission but rather: LEXUS NX CVT gearbox, *** it is an e-CVT which is an epicycloidal transmission and no belt of any kind. eCVT is completely different from a cvt. eCVT doesn't use belt/band. Nothing are the same.
It's a transmission that contentiously varies, the mechanics are different but the outcome is the same !
Precise and accurate review.
Of this bunch, the question I have is, why is the Crosstrek is there? To me, that's simply a Hatchback. And that hatchback runs as slow as a 3 legged dog.
My non-hybrid around town pick is the Toyota Corolla Hatchback (36 MPG Avr).
My Compact Hybrid SUV pick would be the Toyota Cross.
The Honda HR-V Hybrid, whenever it comes to North America will throw a wrench into the works, for sure. But at what price?
The only problem with Toyota and honda is the interior design is very outdated….look at the interface UI…its very old
Great review. They all look good. We were interested in Mazda CX 30 but Mazda shot themselves out of consideration with the STUPID STOP START AND NOW CYLINDER DEACTIVATION 💩CRAP. DROPPING TO 2 CYLINDERS ON ROAD? WHY DIDN"T THEY JUST USE A BRIGGS AND STRATTON ENGINE. DUMB IMO.🤡
You should have looked at the CX5…no stop start and more room and the same money.
@@jimmy5634 I was told they all come with that Jimmy.
The istop can be deactivated in the 2024 CX-5. I do it all the time.
Toyota, Honda and Subaru
Topguns #1
#3 Mazda is better than Honda and Subaru, according to reliability survey from Consumer Reports.
And Lexus is #1, Toyota #2 and Acura #4, before Honda and Subaru.
What about Buick? I read they are very reliable.
Actually, Mazda already surpassed it
@@s-man3684, Buick overall is not even in Top 15 reliable brands. Maybe you read about one of Buick's models as being above average in reliability... But no Buick is above the top Japanese models.

Any opinion on Toyota Yaris Cross??
A bit small. You're better off with the Corolla Cross. I own one and love it.
That’s my car of choice
Lexus rx 350
Can’t any manufacturer make a vehicle that doesn’t have major problems?
I think the RAV 4 should have been No.1 on this list. I know that the CR-V has its bells and whistles with its design and the space it offers, but Toyota’s Hybrid system is just way more advanced than Honda’s. The reliability of the two hybrid systems are miles apart.
Toyota venza😎
Toyota Venza wins for me 👌🏽
I'm a bit surprised that there is no mention of Hyundai Kona. I follow CR and they are still testing the new redesign. I know past models were only fair so I hope the new Kona is better this time around. Kona too is a IIHS Top Pick Safety+ rated compact crossover. I'm a bit biased though, as I'm driving my second leased Kona (2022 Kona Limited). I may even get the 2024 Kona Limited EV this fall, depending on whether I can get the U.S. Tax credit (and from my State of NJ too) off the MSRP since I'd be leasing again. I know long-term ratings for Hyundai is not great, but as a 36-month lease, I've never had major issues. I just love all the bells and whistles on the Kona Limited. Also, I'm still looking at the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE but finding it impossible to find one available for a test drive. Hopefully, Toyota Manufacturing ramps up more CC Hybrid productions this year as all the allocated hybrids coming into showrooms are pre-sold.
Kona is now the cheapest way to get a heated steering wheel with ventilated seats.
Toyota RAV4 all the way!
The Subi CVT is rubbish like the hybrid
What about Chevrolet captiva ?
What about the Chevy Trax ? I see on TH-cam it's one of the best and most popular SUV
Most of these car I would not call small. They are medium-sized SUV.
Sorry but Toyota 4 runner is the best....period! Also, i have a 2023 Mazda CX5 and i don't like it. I will trade it in for the Toyota Corolla Cross in the next month or so.
10 or 20 years ago I would have said buy Honda or Toyota. We used to be a Honda family. Not so much now. We compared the statistics and the numbers for a lot of cars. And we drove a lot of cars. We landed on a new Kia Sportage hybrid. It flat out had more for the money a quieter ride, better performance, more technology, more standard safety features etc. I was surprised! The Honda CRV hybrid was nice, but ridiculously more expensive for comparative features... Like five grand more! The Toyota Rav hybrid while probably the most reliable, was noisy, clunky, and had worse technology in it than cars from 5 years ago. When I say the Toyota hybrid was loud, I'm not kidding! An Edmonds reviewer in a head-to-head competition, put the Kia first. Honda and Toyota have great resale values and reputations, but I think they're getting lazy. Also, we had a rental Toyota Corolla cross last summer for a week. The interior of that car was crap.
Toyota CCH is My pick!
let me guess, top 10 all Japanese 😅
You forgot the toyota venza
El. Mazda son bajos y está más carros que. Toyota y. Honda. Toyota Honda son. Más calidad que. Mazda,😮
Honda. Son muy. Confiable y Toyota y. Punto 😂Subaru
Most disappointing…Honda HRV. Terrible performing motor and it’s noisy. Rough ride and lots of road noise.
I’ve owned six Honda’s …not this one.
No Hyundai
I would never buy a Honda as a Canadian. Way overpriced.
subaru
Agree，especially after covid
Rav 4 NON HYBRID! Batteries will destroy Environement!!!!!!
I would never by a Mazda because of the stupid annoying music in their ads
HONDA IS THE NUMBA ☝️ BETTER THAN TOYOTA
Everyone has an opinion.
They’re both awesome.
@@johnmartin7158 I went goth Subaru this last time because of greedy dealerships. Hopefully the subaru 2024 turns out to be reliable. Made in Japan
Honda is #5 in reliability and has a bigger TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) than Toyota (#2 in reliability survey from Consumer Reports, while Lexus is the #1).
Statistics beat opinions.
Toyota has scandal in 🇯🇵
Mazda should be higher
Absolutely
I agree, but, wonder if the lack of hybrid option makes it less popular since most people are wanting a hybrid now.@@allanzylbert1306
The CX-5 Select trim (the new base trim) is the value leader for the whole segment. Way, way nicer than the lower trims of the Rav4 and Forester.
Eh....the reviewer is an auto expert AND owns a Mazda...I think his insights are on point. I just test-drove the CX-50 back-to-back with the CR-V Hybrid. It is no contest at that price point...the winner on value and tech is the Honda. Enthusiasts might prefer the driving dynamics of Mazda, however and the CX-50 is actually a bit higher in terms of IIHS safety.
@@jefff7287wouldnt the mazda would be more value for your buck compared to honda?
