Honda CR-V
Vehicles Sold: 104,627
Starting MSRP: $31,495
A front-runner among compact SUVs, the Honda CR-V scores points for its advanced infotainment system, luxurious interior, spacious cargo area and fuel economy. Drawbacks include its CVT automatic transmission, which can sometimes be noisy and slow. The CRV comes in a standard and hybrid powertrain.
Tesla Model Y
Vehicles sold: 93,900
Starting MSRP: $44,990
The top electrical vehicle on the market, the Tesla Model Y’s fuel efficiency dominates other models, offering 134/ city and 117/ highway mpg. Other benefits include remarkable acceleration, a roomy cargo area, superior driving range and several standard features. Where the Model Y falls short is its complicated infotainment system, uncomfortable ride and quality of build.
Chevrolet Equinox
Vehicles Sold: 82,296
Starting MSRP: $29,995
You’re likely familiar with the Chevrolet Equinox, but now there’s a new all-electric version debuting in 2025 — the Equinox EV. The Equinox upgraded its interior and exterior styling this year. It has a roomy cabin, good fuel economy, excellent driving range and a graceful ride. Not to mention, the Equinox is among the lowest-priced electric SUVs. Its drawback is the vehicle’s slow acceleration.
Hyundai Tucson
Vehicles Sold: 60,179
Starting MSRP: $30,155
Ranking number five on our list, the Hyundai Tucson, a sub-compact SUV, boasts a luxurious interior, abundant standard features and an enormous cabin, all at a low price point, and is available with a standard, hybrid or plug-hybrid powertrain. However, it misses the mark in engine performance.
