Some are changing the Rogue and Altima transmission fluid every 20 thousand miles, because so many need a rebuild. The all wheel drive Rogue has an extra cooler for the transmission, so they tend to go longer before the transmission starts to fail.
Indeed, but for some is too cramped. If you have a family 4, are 6 footer and travel long distance is not great and MPG also not great, but other than that great vehicle, especially for an average height none long distance travel families.
I bought the Tucson instead of the sportage....the outside styling of the sportage is just too odd for me...although the interior is just wow NICE. But it's great to see the sister cars finish 1 and 2. Love the Tucson...it just seems far more expensive that it cost...very smooth...quiet and stylish.
@@hollyhawx9481 the sportage interior is definitely as nice as it gets...as nice as many luxury vehicles...I hope you enjoy the Sportage as much as I enjoy the Tucson!!
@@wolfshanze5980 brilliant ! My ETA is August 2023!! In the meantime I’m in an Audi Q3 so that’s ok. It will be interesting to see how the Hyundai feels compared to the Audi. Mine is UK spec N Line and big wheels, leather, heated seats, a few gadgets like car play. Plug in hybrid petrol 260 ish HP so should be nippy but not fast. Merry Christmas!
I needed a new car badly so started looking back in May. I test drove the Tuscon and Santa Fe, Toyota Rav 4 and Highlander, Acura RDX, Mazda CX5 and 9, Honda CRV, and maybe a couple others. I liked the Tuscon hybrid drivetrain, but wasn't big on its interior or exterior styling. Liked the Santa Fe interior and how it drove and put a deposit on a "Luxury Hybrid" model, but Hyundai is very slow delivering more of them. The RAV4 and CRV left me cold. The Highlander was just too big. The RDX was nice but the tech was old and they're hard on gas. So when I saw the new Sportage I liked the interior and exterior and knew I already liked the hybrid drivetrain (from driving the Tuscon), so based on a test drive of a 2.5 I4 model (gutless and noisy) I got on the waiting list back in May for a hybrid EX model. Got it in September and I'm pretty happy with it so far, with a few relatively minor niggles. Mostly to do with driving at night - the base model reflector headlights low beams aren't great, and the grid for the heated windshield is distracting when lit up by oncoming headlights.
And one final thought to keep in-mind: which of these cars is available for purchase now, i.e. what is the wait time? Some are half a year to a year waitlists. The HEVs and PHEVS may be even longer. This factor may influence a buyer's choice. As an aside, Hyundai & Kia have been in the press a lot lately for recalls due to vehicle fires with their Palisades and Sorentos. A factor like this (a behavior pattern) might shy someone like me away until the new designs have been out for a few model years.
Most of Hyundai and KIA recalls are fake news. If you have a brain, you could see that through. Toyota had another recall with 84k today. Toyota's reliability, amirite?
Sportage Hybrids are unobtanium. 25 month wait time per my local Kia dealer. Those that are in stock in the nation are so marked up that they are a horrific value that only a fool would still be interested in at the real street price.
The only problem with Kia and Hyundai revolve around two things. 1) The 2.4L Theta engine, which is no longer being used anywhere in the current lineup 2) A tow-hitch wiring harness... which is SUPER Niche and rare. Simply put, knowing what the problem is instead of saying "everything is bad" makes you informed instead of uninformed. As for wait times on Hyundai, I ordered a Tucson Hybrid back in July 2022 and it finally arrived in December 2022... so a 5 month wait for my Hybrid to come in. It's a great SUV and I love it.
@@wolfshanze5980 Well there's also the Kia boyz incident right now. I am selling my Forte 2020 (which has been broken in twice) for a Toyota Corolla Cross 2023 instead. TBH I don't trust Kia and Hyundai not running into another design/ manufacturing problem in the near future.
Nissan had CVT problems with the 2008-2014 models. These new CVT's are way more reliable, because they use metal now. Actually the Rogue 2022 is rated as more reliable than the RAV4. Hondas also use CVT's.
@@Aymcana you cannot reliably rate reliability in a new car. Nissan did a lot of people dirty and I would still stay away from their CVTs until they have really proven themselves. A traditional auto is a much better bet.
the jeep cheI rokee would have been a more apples to apples comparison with most of these. The space inside is better and the turbo 4 and v6 (only one in the class) both pump out 270 hp. i know they constantly get beat on in reviews, but my 2019 cherokee has over 80,000 trouble free miles on it so far and is the best looking one of the bunch if you ask me.
Funny how we now need more than 200HP to call an SUV adequate, remember the times when a V8 SUV would have less power than the least powerful vehicle here? Yeah a Grand Wagoneer with a monster V8 making a 140HP through a 3 speed automatic. How things have changed.
Not true at all... 175HP to 190HP on a compact SUV is exactly "adequate". It will get you from point A to Point B, just don't expect anything sporty, and expect about 0 to 60 in 9 seconds. That's "adequate". To people who don't want "adequate" but want fun and sporty too... then YES you need more than 200HP. I've driven both the 187hp Tucson and the 226hp Tucson Hybrid... one is "adequate" and the other is actually fun... so I bought the Hybrid.
@@patriciosoirefman838 as a mechanic who’s also on multiple mechanics forums I can tell you 100% those and anything dodge/ jeep are literally the worst most unreliable in the road right now…
@@BlueFordGuy Kia Hyundai score in top levels with reliability in EU. You should try Germans or French cars, not forget about modern Volvo's, terrible reliabiilty as well.
The non-turbo Mazdas have CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (aka: displacement on demand, variable cylinder management, variable displacement). Mazda has been having trouble with it with recalls, and service notices, plus in one vehicle that has it (3) they removed it for a year to iron out problems. Run away from these as used cars when they get older.
Agreed on the Mazda infotainment system. It kept us from even test driving the CX-50. Have another Mazda with it, and it is horrible. Also, Subaru slow acceleration is a huge turnoff. As for the RAV4, it is just so ugly both inside and out, and the quality of the interior just seems cheap. Edit: I did test drive the newer CRV, and it road very well. My biggest complaint was some cheaper feeling plastics inside that I don't feel with the Hyundai or Kia. Edit: Anyone else worried about a 3 cylinder engine that is in the Rogue. Very nice SUV, but that worries me a bit for longevity.
That's because neither Nissan nor Mazda have any hybrid drivetrains. The Hyundai's and Kias are in high demand. Still, I only paid a relatively low amount of dealer markup (in the form of non optional dealer installed paint protection, etc) for mine, about $1500. Normally I would never have accepted that, but given the current supply issues, they've got the upper hand.
You're rigth, but I'm smart, so I refuse to pay a dime above MSRP, not even with added dumb add ons. The market will go down, rigth now regular combustion are the first ones that you can get at or below MSRP. Hybrids...just wait a bit longer. High interest and inflation will make a dent. Sadly, Mazda doesn't make a hybrid and Nissan, sorry I just trust the brand.
look for a 2015-2020 Honda Fit, small but big on the inside. I am 6 feet tall with bad feet, no problem getting in/out and pretty fun to drive with no drama. Seats 4 big guys well or 5 if the back 3 are
Mazda screw up on the cx50 on wheels. For an "off road, trail" vehicle it should just keep the smallest wheels possible so you have more rubber for rocks, but instead higher trims get bigger wheels, really? You want a better road handling...you got the cx5!!!
@@mustafakamaran5195 Its unfortunate. I know someone who had his automatic transmission on an F-150 break at 40,000. One story doesn’t show the whole picture. I have talked to some friend mechanics and they said that newer CVT’s on Nissan’s are very reliable and are as reliable as the Automatic transmissions. CVT’s from 2007-2012 are bad. But never ones are totally different.
Excellent Review of many SUV's. Is there any thing without a Infotainment System? In my opinion the best Infotainment System is not to have one. I do not want this in my Automobile. I would like a Physical Key, Manual Parking Break, not an Electric Parking Break. Basic things like a Dipstick so I can check my Engine Oil and complete some Maintenance for example. The more bells and whistles that are on a Vehicle means the more there is to break. Also, a Fully Digital Instrument Panel is something that I can do without as well. If the Vehicle was lighter in Weight. 200HP would be more than enough. One would have a better Power to Wight in the Vehicle did not weigh as much.
I can’t believe these new vehicles don’t have automatic headlights. I’ve seen many of these including the Tuscan driving at night with only the DRLs on and dashboard illuminated. Nuts
Never sgain buying a Kia or Hyundai. Too many bad experiences with my 2017 Optima Hybrid. Taking it to the junkyard soon with just over 100k miles. Last repair quote was over $10k. Getting things repaired in warranty was always a hassle to the point were the last repair that needed to be done (coolant leaking into the engine) was never done. They are justvthe worst.
After weeks of trawling round dealerships looking for a near new SUVs there's some things about car design in general that baffle me. 1: seat comfort is terrible on most models, in particular the lack of tilt control has outright put me off most i've tried. How is this such a massive oversight? This is also a feature (or lack of) that is nearly always never mentioned in reviews of features listings. 2: no push button start - this isn't even new tech any more so i'm surprised at how many newish cars still have a massive cumbersome key to start them. 3: pointless tech: seat and steering wheel heaters. These are apparently massive selling points, but i've literally never got in a car and wanted a warmer seat or steering wheel. Maybe i could see the appeal of the wheel, but the seat is utterly pointless. Now if they could make a seat cooler i might be impressed. 4: No air blowers in the back: such a simple concept, but a lot of models lacking this. In the hot summer months me and the mrs have to almost freeze to death trying to blast some cool air to the back of the car for the kids. Usually just end up opening the windows anyway.
Good review from a viewpoint that excludes preconceived notions. Japanese cars excel in every way, but I feel that the times are gradually changing. Toyota doesn't even come up with a decent EV.
Mazda's infotainment system is not frustrating, it's flawless! I do NOT need or want a smart phone attached to my car. If I do, there's a $20 bracket for that, and it won't cost me $2,000 to replace when it breaks in 5 years unlike these highly distracting, unnecessary, huge, cheaply made, delicate touchscreen fingerprint magnets they are putting in most of these cars. There is a place for touchscreens but it's NOT in a car that needs to last 15+ years baking in the sun and then going to -20 in the winter like I expect mine to.
The other cars can not keep up with the Mazda getting up to highway speeds , what are you talking about ? it is a touchscreen active in motion , you just don't know how to find it .....what else are you wrong about ......Rave 4s engine sounds like it wants to jump out of the car , have you kept track of KIAs' recalls in all of the last 4 years , some of us like a drivers vehicle ...Mazda...CX-5.
a used 3rd gen Honda Fit ( 2015-2020 ) is better than all these, and I get 32+ mpg around town driving pretty hard. Sucks they ended production in 2020.
It all depends on the transmission, I have a 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD with 412k ish. I regularly change the CVT fluid. I read the CVT doesn’t like heat or sudden acceleration. So I’m sure it helps I don’t accelerate heavily. My coworker owns a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD with 289k, as of last week. In her defense, she doesn’t leave Aquidneck Island in RI, and doesn’t go over 45MPH. Her Juke should last forever lmao
My 2008 Nissan Rogue still runs great after 165,000 miles. The only reason why I replaced it was because it lacks so many of the new safety features that new cars have.
Chasing cars website and channel tested 11 and the RAV4 won decisively. Chasing cars put all the cars more into more of a rigorous comprehensive driving skill set. Admittedly the Sportage is a nice vehicle though. But really it’s up,to the buyer what he likes. For the record I own. 2022 Toyota RAV4 Adventure Hybrid. Safari green. Cheers.
Are you comparing plug-in with gasoline? At least a hybrid or petrol is possible for Hyundai. Obvious advertising for Kia and Hyundai, which is huge in USA an so on. In my opinion, 2023 if that were the case, i.e. now, it's definitely Tpyota Rav 4hybrid or plug in. You will make improvements in 2022, when the Rav4 was not updated, the CR-V is old, the Tiguan is gasoline, now it is plug-in.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. We've got individual reviews of each one of these rolling out every week going forward, plus some other large shootouts planned.
are you sure, don't see any difference. All i know is that we have 2 versions of the Tiguan, the Tiguan allspace is longer compared to our regular tiguan
Really ?!😂😂😂 Where is Ferrari purosangue, lamborghini urus, aston Martin dbx, maserati lavante, Bentley bentayga, rolls Royce cullinan and Porsche caynne/macan
The Outlander was scheduled to attend, but it was damaged en route to our comparison and couldn't be repaired in time. We will get the new Outlander in a comparison soon!
No off road testing not everyone buys a suv for city use I bet if u took them off road into mud or even on an icey road that would give us a better idea what to buy come on guys take a ride out into the country back roads

I can save you all some time, I've driven them all-- the Nissan Rogue w/1.5T engine is the best. Done. End of. No way in hell are the Tucson or Sportage in the top. They're awful. Best: Rogue, Forester, CR-V, Compass (Santa Fe-- untested here) Worst: literally all the rest -- the Tucson, Rav4, CX-5 are particularly AWFUL
All major reputable publications still rank the crv near or at the top (car and driver, Edmunds etc) Y'all seem to have a fetish with Hyundai and Kia trash.
Not a fair competition.... Base models vs top of the line models.
What are the best budget friendly small SUVs in your opinion?
Even though it’s a bit smaller would like to see how the VW Taos compares to the others.
Some are changing the Rogue and Altima transmission fluid every 20 thousand miles, because so many need a rebuild. The all wheel drive Rogue has an extra cooler for the transmission, so they tend to go longer before the transmission starts to fail.

There is a place for touchscreens but it's NOT in a car that needs to last 15+ years baking in the sun and then going to -20 in the winter like I expect mine to.
Thank you
The other cars can not keep up with the Mazda getting up to highway speeds , what are you talking about ? it is a touchscreen active in motion , you just don't know how to find it .....what else are you wrong about ......Rave 4s engine sounds like it wants to jump out of the car , have you kept track of KIAs' recalls in all of the last 4 years , some of us like a drivers vehicle ...Mazda...CX-5.
For anyone wondering, the no-shows were the GMs and Mitsubishi - two brands that consistently land at the bottom of critics' lists anyway...
Hello, which SUV is the best ?
Do you have a premium / Luxury comparison…!?!
I think the Subaru is ugly but surely a “it scored above average in all categories” is way better than top in 1 & bottom in another?
a used 3rd gen Honda Fit ( 2015-2020 ) is better than all these, and I get 32+ mpg around town driving pretty hard. Sucks they ended production in 2020.
Where's the Chevy Equinox? How would it compare?
Last
It all depends on the transmission, I have a 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD with 412k ish. I regularly change the CVT fluid. I read the CVT doesn’t like heat or sudden acceleration. So I’m sure it helps I don’t accelerate heavily. My coworker owns a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD with 289k, as of last week. In her defense, she doesn’t leave Aquidneck Island in RI, and doesn’t go over 45MPH. Her Juke should last forever lmao
My 2008 Nissan Rogue still runs great after 165,000 miles. The only reason why I replaced it was because it lacks so many of the new safety features that new cars have.
Why is cx 5 dont have touch screen on its monitor 😊
Only RAV4 !!
Chasing cars website and channel tested 11 and the RAV4 won decisively. Chasing cars put all the cars more into more of a rigorous comprehensive driving skill set. Admittedly the Sportage is a nice vehicle though. But really it’s up,to the buyer what he likes.
For the record I own. 2022 Toyota RAV4 Adventure Hybrid. Safari green.
Cheers.
Need help between bronco sport n Mazda cx-5
Are you comparing plug-in with gasoline? At least a hybrid or petrol is possible for Hyundai. Obvious advertising for Kia and Hyundai, which is huge in USA an so on. In my opinion, 2023 if that were the case, i.e. now, it's definitely Tpyota Rav 4hybrid or plug in. You will make improvements in 2022, when the Rav4 was not updated, the CR-V is old, the Tiguan is gasoline, now it is plug-in.
great review! thank you!
Not satisfied blog cz you choose tendon model it’s it plz speak about specific model
Where’s the x3. A 3 cylinder engine places higher than a Toyota hybrid……😮
well done guys, this isn't easy with this many.. pity but informative ..cheers Allan
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. We've got individual reviews of each one of these rolling out every week going forward, plus some other large shootouts planned.
Grate video. Kia and Hyundai in Europe are 12 am shorter, hence much smaller than Toyota or Nissan.
and lower - in US they are with 21cm ground clearance, in Europe - its 16cm which is pathetic for an SUV
are you sure, don't see any difference.
All i know is that we have 2 versions of the Tiguan, the Tiguan allspace is longer compared to our regular tiguan
Too bad I’ll never buy a car with the current Kia logo. The logo looks so bad I won’t even look at the car.
I'll take the Mazda CX5 OVER ALL OF THESE ANYDAY.
How did they not include the buick encore gx?🤦♂️
isnt that very small? like subcompact instead of compact
@@grownupgaming that's the regular encore, the gx qualifies as subcompact.
Really ?!😂😂😂
Where is Ferrari purosangue, lamborghini urus, aston Martin dbx, maserati lavante, Bentley bentayga, rolls Royce cullinan and Porsche caynne/macan
Where's Volvo XC40 in the list mate ?
We're was mitsubishi's new suv's and crossover's at🥺
The Outlander was scheduled to attend, but it was damaged en route to our comparison and couldn't be repaired in time. We will get the new Outlander in a comparison soon!
I thought compass was subcompact
No off road testing not everyone buys a suv for city use I bet if u took them off road into mud or even on an icey road that would give us a better idea what to buy come on guys take a ride out into the country back roads
VW Tiguan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
you forgot Suzuki grand Vitara
You're WRONG!!! Callahan Brake Pads (Ala Tommy Boy) are the best pads, LOL!!!!
You mention the Ford Bronco turbo but not the CX-5 turbo with better numbers than Bronco ....265hp/ 320 ft/lb torque ....inaccurate reporting. omission of facts is amateur.
Some suvs look nice,others look like aliens
which offers the best back seat leg room? need a max 4,5 m lenght car
Love my Mercedes gla. 36mpg
When compact lost its meaning
My choice now would definitely be the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the second Tiguan plug-in.No Kia, no Hyundai, no Nissan.
Where is the ford escape and Chevrolet equinox and Mitsubishi Outlander and Jeep Cherokee
honda crv is a good suv but lost of requirement maintence cost twice more than toyota.
The beard and shaved head is really working for him.
hah, gheeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Discovery Sport!
Report for fake news.
Ever heard of Peugeot?
I mean toyota has a recall of 84k today. Their reliability has dropped
All Stores Please Lower the Price of all Military & Local for all Brands of Suv Products & Accessories & Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
Buying an engine and transmission,you guys can shove your technology and screen size,lmfao
The CRV and the rav4 will last far longer than the rest of that junk...
Good grief, other than the Bronco Sport all these cars are really ugly. I'm looking for a small SUV but I don't want any of those.
13:49 My baby🌹🦾

Low profile tires are an idiotic fad. I will never get a car with those...😂
I can save you all some time, I've driven them all-- the Nissan Rogue w/1.5T engine is the best. Done. End of.
No way in hell are the Tucson or Sportage in the top. They're awful.
Best: Rogue, Forester, CR-V, Compass (Santa Fe-- untested here)
Worst: literally all the rest -- the Tucson, Rav4, CX-5 are particularly AWFUL
A Kia??
no body can beat the hyundai tucson best in style price and quality
All major reputable publications still rank the crv near or at the top (car and driver, Edmunds etc)
Y'all seem to have a fetish with Hyundai and Kia trash.
Wow you're a massive Honda fanboy. The Sportage absolutely blows Honda CR-V sales away worldwide
