Did you know that CarGurus has a YouTube channel? It's home to a full library of video reviews, where our expert editorial team shows you what it's like to live with that new car you're considering. We've published more than 100 new car reviews on our channel in 2024 alone! Here are the 10 that were most-viewed this year.
1. 2024 Hyundai Tucson
The Tucson is Hyundai’s best seller. The 2024 model didn’t look much different from the 2023 version here in the US, but it did get a few key updates. In our most-viewed video of 2024, Natalie Harrington compares the latest Tucson to other popular crossovers including the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape. Watch to find out which might be a good fit for you.
2. Mazda CX-5 vs Mazda CX-50
Mystified by Mazda’s many crossover offerings? You’re not alone. The CX-50 was once rumored to be the successor to the older CX-5, but Mazda has continued to sell both compact crossovers simultaneously ever since the former debuted for the 2023 model year. Of course, one’s a three-row and one’s not, but there’s a lot more to it. Here, Autolist’s Dave Undercoffler digs into the pros and cons of each, covering fuel economy, comfort and convenience offerings, and much more.
3. Toyota Corolla Hybrid vs Toyota Prius
We’re not surprised to see another two-car matchup near the top of this list. After all, comparison is a critical part of the car-shopping journey. How can you tell you’ve made the best choice for you if you haven’t measured it against similar offerings? In this video, Cliff Atiyeh helps viewers figure out how to weigh efficiency, cost, and the intangibles of the ownership experience in choosing between two Toyota compacts, the OG-but-just-updated Prius and the recently hybridized Corolla.
4. 2024 Mazda CX-50
The Mazda CX-50 makes another appearance! This stylish three-row crossover clearly earned a place on many shoppers’ lists this year. If you’re considering the CX-50 yourself, you’ll want to check out this video to see how it drives, why Cliff compared it to luxury SUVs, and where he felt it might fall short even against its in-class rivals.
5. 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe is all-new for 2024, so it’s no wonder our YouTube audience was intrigued. This fifth-generation Santa Fe features striking new looks that turn heads day and night thanks to boxy, rugged design elements and a bold lighting signature. And as Cliff shows us, it’s got substance to back up that style. Watch his review to find out not only what’s changed but also what hits in this all-new Santa Fe.
6. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander vs 2024 Hyundai Palisade
The Toyota Grand Highlander is a brand new model just introduced for 2024, and it’s heating up the competition in the already hotly contested midsize three-row crossover class. Cliff compares it to the Hyundai Palisade, a regular favorite among CarGurus reviewers. Find out which is more spacious, which is better-equipped, which performs better on-road, and, perhaps most importantly, which is the better buy, all in this single video.
7. 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
The Wrangler is an American icon, which may help to explain why the Wrangler 4xe is this country’s best-selling plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV. Cliff’s deep dive drew well over 100,000 views from shoppers wanting to see what this SUV is like to live with. Watch to see him put the hybrid electric powertrain through its paces on the highway and on the trail.
8. 2024 Toyota Sequoia
If you’re looking for a true, body-on-frame SUV in this crossover-crazy world, your options are a tad limited. In this video, Natalie walks us through the comfort and capability you can expect from the Toyota Sequoia, which just saw a complete overhaul for 2023. See how the new twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain performs, and what else you might want to consider if you’re in the market for a family-sized vehicle.
9. 2024 Ford Maverick XLT
This was our third Maverick video in as many years, because Ford’s been keeping its little unibody truck interesting with an ever-expanding lineup. We’ve covered the original hybrid Maverick in its base trim, the Ecoboost-powered gas-only Maverick with the Tremor package, and now, the middle-trim gas Maverick XLT. And with each video, we’ve brought you a different reviewer’s opinion. Here, see what Natalie thinks of the Maverick and how it stacks up against its key rivals.
10. 2024 Toyota 4Runner
This was the last year of the 4Runner–as we know it. Toyota’s beloved and long-running SUV enters its sixth generation with the 2025 model year, and contributor Mark Takahashi sends the fifth-gen version off with a thorough analysis. This expert review is chock-full of great info for anyone who’s shopping used, or trying to decide whether to wait on the new 4Runner or buy now.
