That’s why our car experts compiled the list below. It features the two- and three-row midsized SUVs that scored well in Consumer Reports’ road tests, have average or better predicted reliability ratings, and get 21 mpg overall or better.
These SUVs are models recommended by CR. That means they scored well in our road tests, which comprise more than 50 objective and subjective evaluations. On top of that, they have good reliability and come standard with key active safety equipment, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. All of them come standard with AEB that works at highway speeds, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic warning unless otherwise noted. They also performed well in government and insurance industry crash tests if they were tested.
We’ve listed them by their Overall Score, which is a combination of all those factors. Though we tested more expensive all-wheel-drive versions of some of these, we also recommend the more affordable two-wheel-drive versions.
