The Hyundai Santa Fe went up in price recently, which doesn’t mean it is not justified. However, when the price was comparable with the Kia Sorento, it was a top pick on a par with the latter without any doubts. This mid-size SUV is praised for its convenience, low fuel consumption, and plenty of features.

The famous Toyota Highlander is not a full-size crossover SUV, but that doesn’t mean it has little room. It is a top pick in every measure if you don’t mind to pay little more for the quality.

The Mazda CX-9 is a full-size crossover SUV with a price less than $30,000. It is beautiful, comfortable, and powerful. Unfortunately, it has some flaws in safety that ruin the perfect image.

The second Nissan vehicle in the top 10. It is hard to believe that this crossover SUV is a seven-passenger being only 182.8 inches lengthwise. However, it’s comfortable enough for its size and there is also space for luggage left.

The Dodge Journey (also known as Fiat Freemont in Europe) isn’t the most reliable or powerful mid-size SUV, but everything comes at a price. Despite some flaws, this mid-size SUV can pretty comfortably accommodate up to seven passengers while its cost remains outstandingly low for years.
