“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would features editor Scott Evans drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here.
There are all kinds of logical, rational reasons to pick one car over another, but we’re not machines, the cars are. It’s always an emotional decision, because you want to love the car you just spent tens of thousands of dollars on. When those dollars are leaving my bank account, my heart knows which SUV I’m buying: the 2019 Mazda CX-5.
Look up the CX-5 here at MotorTrend and you’ll see it’s always a bridesmaid, never the bride, but for very specific reasons. Our consumer-focused comparisons put great emphasis on cargo and passenger space and fuel economy, and the CX-5 gives up a few cubic feet in the back and a couple of mpgs to the class-leading Honda CR-V. It’s a small [...]
“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would international bureau chief Angus MacKenzie drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here.
Mrs. MacKenzie and I love road trips. There’s nothing better than heading out of town early morning, bound for the far horizon. And if there’s an interesting road along the way, we’ll take it, just to see what’s over the next hill or around the next corner. In fact, the less time we spend on the interstates, the better. The real America is out there, beyond the soulless neon glare of gas stations and fast food joints and budget hotels.
Our ideal road trip vehicle must have genuine all-weather, all-road capability, with the ability to keep going when the road stops. It must have a good ride and low noise levels. And it must have a decent range. Oh, and we [...]
“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would features editor Christian Seabaugh drive? Keep reading for the answer, and see other editors’ picks here.
“What SUV should I buy?” is an incredibly tough question. I know you know that—that’s probably how you wound up here. Much goes into the decision-making process of what SUV to buy, but for me and my family, the right SUV for us is the 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
Before I dig too deep into why we’d buy a Wrangler Unlimited, a little about my family unit to give you a little perspective—after all, you could be just like me. Or we might have nothing in common.
If you happen to be married (or at least in a committed long-term relationship), at the very tail end of your 20s, and with dogs, odds are we have something in common. My wife and [...]

The Subaru Forester has long been one of the most competent players in its segment, nabbing our SUV of the Year award in its previous two generations. And now that the compact crossover has been fully redesigned, the Forester is an even stronger entry—perhaps the strongest, in my opinion. Still, its niche status relegates it to the middle of the sales charts. Many people think you don’t need a Forester unless you live in a place with harsh weather or have two kids and just as many dogs. But as a dogless, kidless California girl, the 2019 Subaru Forester is the SUV I would pick if I were in the market. Why? Because it makes life easier, even for us sun-indulgent SoCal folk.
