Crossovers

Best Crossover SUVs

Car and Driver's ranking is based on our comprehensive instrument test data on hundreds of vehicle models every year, as well as the subjective feelings accumulated by expert editors during real road driving. We rank the best crossover SUVs based on approximately 200 data points, covering acceleration performance, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel economy, cost performance and driving pleasure. We are very strict about rankings because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in. Although the terms "crossover" and "SUV" are basically used interchangeably, this list includes crossover vehicles that are smaller in size and more road-oriented, rather than larger, off-road SUVs.
