Pros

  • Multiple trims and styles

  • Standard hybrid

  • Updated tech

Cons

  • Confusing trim levels

  • Size hasn't kept up with rivals

Reviews Summary

The sixth-generation Toyota RAV4 now comes with more choice, including three distinct design themes, three powertrain and drivetrain options, and seven trim levels. It has a hybrid drivetrain as standard, offering a claimed 44 mpg combined, along with more standard features, a quicker operating system, and improvements across the board to bolster its bestselling position.

Verdict: The good gets better, but the RAV4's lineup is confusing enough to need a Venn diagram.

Reviews Summary

Equipped with good looks, a comfortable interior, a roomy cargo area, and an affordable price, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport easily deserves your consideration. Then, you realize how safe it is, how technologically advanced it is, how quick it is, how it is built in the good old U.S.A., and how Hyundai virtually guarantees that it won’t break anytime soon, and you start to want one. What’s that? You need a third-row seat and more cargo space? Hyundai has a solution for that.
