#1 2021 Kia Telluride

We envy anyone who is shopping for a spacious family crossover in 2021. Your search is pretty obvious and should not go any further than Kia’s largest market offering. The Telluride ticks all of the right boxes at the right price.

#2 2021 Subaru Outback

While the roll-out of the 6-generation Subaru Outback is just finishing up around the world, in the US, the model is ready to enter its third year with new safety features and an off-road-ready Wilderness edition.

#3 2021 Toyota Highlander

With 3 rows of seats, high quality interior, plenty of tech and an optional hybrid drivetrain, the Highlander is by right the second best-selling crossover from Toyota. In 2020, the model received a comprehensive overhaul: it moved to new underpinnings, grew in length by 2.36 inches, and became even more capable for family hauling.

#4 2021 Mazda CX-5

According to Consumer Reports 2021 Brand Report Card, Mazda has the highest score. Their success is largely ensured by the best-selling compact crossover CX5 which becomes even better for this model year.

#5 2021 Hyundai Palisade

Just like the aforementioned Kia Telluride, its twin sibling Hyundai Palisade is a perfect buy in 2021. When deciding between the two, personal preferences of the exterior look and interior finishing will be the major deciding factors.

#6 2021 Subaru Forester

Introduced for the 2019 model year, the current generation Subaru Forester has been enjoying a steady stream of sales thanks to its responsive on-road and off-road handling, spacious interior, and great safety profile. The crossover gets 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and depending on the trim level offers 3 variations of Subaru’s famous symmetrical AWD system.

#7 2021 Honda CR-V

The fifth-gen Honda CR-V is a smart choice for customers seeking a compact SUV with impressive versatility, as it offers top-rated safety and available hybrid powertrain for a decent price. Even the base configuration packs standard forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

#8 2021 Ford Edge

Prioritizing comfort over the maximum passenger capacity, the two-row Ford Edge squeezes in between the Escape and the Explorer within the Ford SUV family. Though the 2021 Edge does boast of an aggressive exterior like most of its current rivals, but it definitely has the edge over them inside the cabin.

#9 2021 Kia Sportage

Despite the anticipation buildup for the new generation 2022 Sportage, the current model remains an outstanding. The most appealing feature of this KIA is pricing versatility, low depreciation and high reliability scores.

#10 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

2021 Subaru Crosstrek boasts a slightly fresher face, while its engine selection includes 3 options: the lackluster 2.0L 4 cyl BOXER with 152 horses, the all-new 2.5L 4-cylinder with 182 for Sport and Limited trims, and the usual PHEV system returning 148 hps.

  1. Consumer reports is sponsored by …… can’t trust consumer reports at all. Three year reliability means absolutely nothing. I like to look at history of products like 80% of all corollas ever made are still legally driven. If it’s made in Europe China Mexico or Taiwan your car or truck is garbage.

  2. This computer voice needs to be deactivated. Forester is just a great car. Highlander is very nice also. Was not impressed with Honda CR-V but that’s just me. Obviously a popular car.

  3. Terrible Video. Presentation sounds robotic and they just lump all SUV's into one broad category instead of size. I watch a lot of reviews and this is probably the worst. Have to remember channels name so I can just skip next time.

  4. Don't disagree with the selections, but I think CR missed the mark on the Kia Seltos. I realize there is a recall on some versions, but as someone who has owned one for over a year, and looked at some others, I think it is the most practical sub-compact SUV available. I'm a long-time subscriber to CR, but when they give the Hona HR-V a higher rating for cargo space than the Seltos, and the Seltos has larger dimensions, I am a bit suspect of their review.

  5. My 4 favorite on her was the telluride, highlander,palisade and forester. I love the highlander because of the resale value, reliability and luxurious features it has and also the tech. The palisade and telluride same thing but they offer so much more value for the money because u r basically getting a luxury 3 row with half the money. Lastly the forester I love that car I mean the thing about some subaru I’ll get to why not all of them I don’t like but the forester is easy to use it’s simple it’s not to costly and it’s a vehicle that u would want to keep forever. Now personally I like the outback i like the space n all but that infotainment display I’m not a big fan of it and not because of the size but the how it works. The abc controls is the main thing where it is in the screen and to get the heated seats u have to go through the screen and it’s not very intuitive and response it doesn’t really pop up the menu as soon as u touch it I think it just needs a software update but that’s my biggest knock on it but other than that it is still a great car.

  6. Subaru high ground clearance high list of repairs as well after 2 years , that's what they say and it's true …where is the CRV ? You figure it being ranked #1 everywhere it might be on this list. Lmao.
