2023 Kia Seltos

FIL visited, drove it, went back home and is now looking at new Kia SUVs.

The transmission is also surprisingly smooth in heavy traffic considering that it's a DCT. Overall, I'm a big fan of this compact SUV(?)

reliable

KIA was picked as JD POWER"S #1 most reliable car brand for 2022.

comfortable

I have a spinal injury and I find the seats and suspension to be very comfortable even over longer drives, and when you use the driver assist features even longer trips aren't as tiring.

engine

With the turbo motor it has very good acceleration and decent gas mileage.

The engine puts out plenty of HP and torque to make the car responsive and it's quick which is very important when merging onto highways or general overtaking.

feature

2023 Jeep Wrangler

It is also pretty good on gas mileage considering it is an SUV.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

phone

Also, the gloss black is not a finger print problem any more than your phone or ipad. I can say more

Occasionally won't connect to iPhone (but fixes itself the next time the car is restarted). 4.

Doesn’t remember what you use for phone or Bluetooth device if multiple devices are used.

Also on the base hybrid- heated seats, heated mirrors, all the safefy&#47;driving features, easy phone connectivity, power driver seat, 4 driving modes, low speed 4WD lock, automatic high beams that work great, tows small trailers with high MPG, 6 speed auto with paddle shifters.

Haven't been able to get Android Auto to work more than once, and dealer wasn't helpful in figuring out the issue.

From what I read the only real negatives should be the upgraded 10.25 touchscreen info system which will not have wireless apple Carplay&#47;Android Auto.

radio

While not having the radio, it affected Bluetooth, Siri etc.

There is this little noise coming from somewhere around the passenger side panoramic sun roof when starting forward or reverse and it sounds like something sliding back and forth in a metal channel.

People complain about the piano black trim around the center (radio and HVAC controls)
I keep a microfiber in the center console, takes literally 30 seconds to wipe off any fingerprint smudges or dust.

Wish there were a spare tire and normal control knob for the radio.

noise

I have gone through 2 windshields due to rock chips cracking(hopefully just bad luck)

3 weeks since they "fixed" my car, it  has cutoff on me 3 times and has a hard knocking noise.

Also, the noises and beeps that the car makes are overwhelming.

At higher speeds it has more wind noise towards the rear

windshield

The materials in the cabin feel first rate, from the ridged volume and signal and wiper

brake

After vigorously stepping on the brake it started.

The auto hold feature, which allows the car to brake itself after stop without holding the brake pedal, was one I didn't think I would use.

It’s a great vehicle with more bells and whistles than more expensive SUVs.

The safety features standard on the Limited are numerous and cost a extra on a lot of SUVs, even more expensive ones.

I love that so many of them came with hitches as a proper SUV should and roof rails!

Has increased passenger and cargo room from last year and very good on gas for this size SUV.

We chose a mid level Tucson and, I can't say enough wonderful things about this SUV.

I purchased the first 2022 vehicle delivered to South Texas and loved it at first sight and I don’t know what any manufacturer can come up with to make me want to trade my SUV!!! !

I have the all wheel drive version, you won't go off-roading with this SUV,

Overall, this was also cheaper comparing apples to apples with other smaller SUVs like the RAV4 or Ford Escape.

In summary, if this vehicle stays as reliable and enjoyable in years to come, Hyundai has won a new fan! !

However I tend to keep my cars for over 15 years so it has to be reliable .

Ride comfort is very good, even with the 19” rims.

I believe that this Tucson has more tech, comfort and luxury than comparable cars costing 50% more.

but this is the most comfortable car we've ever had.

Amazing gas mileage, comfortable ride, amazing new design.

Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and extremely attractive.

my family loves the styling , ride and comfort

ride

Did a bit of customization and it's a great all year type ride

The touch screen, the digital dials and the quiet ride remind me of a Mercedes in a South Korean skin, with a much lower price.

The ride it great, very smooth on these horrible Louisiana roads.

of more concern, the audio affects all of the safety feature warnings.

I use this feature when there’s a lot of rain as it gives me extra confidence against possible skidding.

Outstanding, loaded with great options, reliability record and can’t beat Hyundai warranty!

The warranties are amazing as are the safety features and Hyundai's after sales support.

Many of the features have been great to use.

I love a lot of the features in this model.

A good idea in theory, BUT, this creates a dangerous issue if you are driving on a dark country road or on a main divided highway and your vision to the side is partially obscured by this feature.

button geari changes, but it seems to work
 it has a host of safety features that seem to work well .

Car drives nice and smooth, I just haven’t gotten 25 mpg yet, lots of very cool options

2022 Hyundai Venue

wheel

Had to sit further from steering wheel than my usual and it eliminated the issue,

The SEL and Limited come with 17 inch wheels and don't look cheap.

The gas mileage is amazing and for a compact suv the storage is impressive.

This SUV is surprisingly quiet on the highway and far more comfortable that one may think.

This little SUV is alot more comfortable than it looks.

The 2022 Hyundai Venue SUV is made by Hyundai

The Hyundai Venue is a small very dependable SUV, it lacks off the line pick up,

mileage

Gas mileage is great - got 34 mpg first fill.

My thoughts on the 2022 Venue SEL (Galactic Gray):

- Better mileage than advertised (based on my driving so far).

Great gas mileage, very nimble in a parking lot.

Easy to park in a small place and very good Mileage in the city as well as on the highway.

small-size

.very peppy and drives very smooth for a small SUV.

Comfortable and has a ton of safety options.

2022 Mazda CX-5

heat/air-control

I myself prefer a touchscreen over the knob control and it does lack a hands-free lift gate and a real remote start (hate the app-only remote start!).

I got leather seats, AWD, blind spot monitoring and cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, heated seats, dual climate controls up front and leather wrapped steered no wheel and shifter all standard.

gear

I believe the transmission gearing could and should be modified to accommodate the lack of horsepower, and the lack of horsepower and poor MPG experience are honestly my only complaints.

but definitly for me - Also , worth a second mention , most suvs in this catagory have CVT transmissions -  Continuously Variable Transmission -   in other words , it does not have stepped gears , its like stepping on a sponge , not crisp and they try to trick you with CVTs saying you can use it like a regular transmission -  bs &#47;.

Mazda punches far above it's weight when if comes to the CX-5, and my Carbon Edition with the black gloss rims, black gloss grill, black chrome "wing" under the grill, polymetal grey paint, and red leather seats, make this car a sexy, fun-to-drive, beast, of a compact SUV!

Although I haven't had it for a long time yet, I can feel this compact suv is built well and runs smoothly.

Overall this is on top of its competition because you will not find another SUV without hard touch plastic everywhere.

Decent ride and performance for a 4 cyl, compact SUV.

Ask when comparing , or look at what type of transmission the suv you are looking at has - Then look at the cross section of a Skysctive Mazda transmission -  nothing cheap about it !

But if you want a real drivers car that makes very few compromises, has tons of standard features, safety tech like crazy, standard AWD and something you would be proud of every time you get to drive it, the CX-5 is the compact SUV for you as it was for me!

I needed a reliable car, quality features and an overall highly functional car with the best  rating.

interior

I love the color, step in height, the look, the interior, the exterior.

Best and transmission is normal excellent interior is very luxury for the model, excellent quality interior and exterior, recommend for family small, motor is high performance in sport drive mode

The interior (white parchment) is very classy with plenty of accessories and features.

The interior is design and seating are sweet, the ride even and the handling are sweeter yet.

Love the red leather interior and all the options it came with.

Comfortable with a great interior and the driving experience is great.

The styling is excellent, the interior reminds me of an Acura or a Lexus, and the car is definitely a drivers car.

Very Happy with my recent purchase of my 2022 CX5 (preferred package).

Also I love the auto start feature that lets me warm my car up on cold mornings.

Though it’s the base version standard AWD and safety features included are top notch.

Mazda has greatly improved this model in recent years with a better, quieter ride, more comfortable seating and better performance.

The handling &#38; ride is like an even higher class vehicle.

2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

But if you are coming from a luxury car to Rav4 Hybrid, then you are like me to find more cabin noise, less classy things inside

I read some complaints about interior noise.

leg-room

My biggest issue is the wasted space in the engine compartment that could be used to increase legroom by 2 inches in the rear.

I can't get comfortable in this car, the cramped leg room will be terrible on long trips.

paint

The only minor complaint I have at this time is I have a few rock chips already so I question the paint quality&#47;thickness.

I wished to get affordable car and I got amazing SUV in my RAV4 despite is not Hybrid , mpg is ok .

It you a want a quiet car, you'll have to step up to the luxury car&#47;SUV market and fork over another &#36;50,000.

Compared to my last SUV, this one is super quiet.

Of the 35 or so cars and SUVs I have owned during my 55 years of driving including 3 other rav4s this one is by far the BEST.

It suits its purpose as a commuter rig due to high gas prices and it will hopefully be reliable since it is a Toyota.

It's comfy, nice leather heated&#47;cooling leather seats.

I would highly recommend this car to anyone who enjoys a comfortable, pleasant, economical driving experience combined with Toyota's proven reliability and dependability.

Pros: 
Handles well 
Good Sound Quality 
Multiple ports for charging
Comfortable Seats 
Good Storage Capacity

Cons:
Has zero power especially when navigating an incline.

Nice driving car and comfortable inside with all the bells and whistles.

We are very happy with the performance, style, and comfort ability.

The fronts seats are very comfortable in my opinion for the Adventure Trim I have.

Plenty more f power, very comfortable and iPhone with apple car play so map was displayed on 9” screen.everything synced seamlessly and the JBL sound system is fantastic.

Overall the Rav is comfortable and roomy.

The car performed beautifully and throughout the trip we got 31-32
mpg&#47;city and 34 mpg&#47;Hwy.

The 4 cylinder gets awesome gas mileage !

Well rounded vehicle, good gas mileage averaging around 40mpg.

I have gotten 37  mpg on long distance driving with perfect conditions.

Getting great mileage in my RAV4 hybrid (43.5 mpg).

power

The 2022 has finally power passenger seats.

2022 GMC Terrain

Looks great inside and out, runs great and has all the options I wanted in my new SUV and Jim Curley Buick GMC dealership and the sales manager and most of all my salesman Carlos Martinez is the best and I would recommend him to buy your next car or suv or truck from, you definitely will be happy!! !

For a small suv, it seems to need extra backing and pulling up to park.

I love it’s roominess and style for a small class SUV.

For this to be considered a compact SUV, the legroom is phenomenal and the styling is unmatched for its class.

Its exterior design is really sleek and stands out from the other small SUV's.

The engine will do 5500 rpm when in cruise and it feels it has fallen behind.

Milage so far is 28mpg combined which is better than I ever expected.

I love this car it’s roomy and comfortable.

It has many of the same creature comforts as our past vehicles,

totally love this car, so comfy & easy to use & it sure ride so nice!

cruise

I like the ride on the interstates & I love the adaptive cruise control.

but what sets it apart is more safety features (particularly an advanced cruise control) and increased quietness and improved A/C.

2022 Honda Pilot

The Best ever mid size SUV ever, i test drove most of them out there

I can recommend this to my friends and family if they ask, which SUV should I buy …

This vehicle has everything I would expect with the purchase of a new SUV.

The 2022 Honda Pilot SUV is made by Honda

While other SUVs had nice styling, some were too small to be considered an SUV.

Wanted 3 row 8 seater SUV with ample space.

This is a family SUV with everything one needs!

It offers comfort, all the conveniences of a smart car and looks great in the meantime.

Great car for family trips and super comfortable with space.

The leather interior with factory rubber floor mats will keep you comfortable inside and should provide good durability for years to come.Our only thing to add will be a tow package,so that we can install an Ebike rack.

I highly recommend this car for safety and comfort.

The cabin feels very roomy, seats are comfortable.

I love the space, relevant technology, comfort and safety features that my family will enjoy as we go on our adventures.

but NON of them fell like or close to THE HONDA PILOT ,SOMTH , FAST ,YOU FELL THE ROAD WAS MADE FOR THIS SUV ,SEE CLEAR FROM ANY CORNER IN THE CAR ,ALL OPTIONS ARE VERY OKAY

We are very happy with this new trim package and would recommend Honda products to anyone making a new purchase.

Now to the driving: it has the regular safety features that comes with most of the modern cars, very easy to drive and drives very well - have been using this just for couple of weeks

safety

We bought this car with the promise of reliability, safety, and quality

The height of the Pilot along with all of the safety features gives you a good feeling when driving in heavy traffic.

2022 Nissan Rogue

large-size

great vehicle overall seats should be a little bigger .

The cargo space is not that large as described (a couple of inches would solve the issue

I would recommend the Rogue to anyone who is looking for a reliable SUV.

A tall SUV with lot's of leg room, power driver seat and lumber support&#47;thigh support.

Still the rogue is a very reliable and stylish SUV, that delivers about the same comfort and reliability that other Dull SUV's do with out taking the style, and is economical on gas.

Platinum model has all the bells and whistles you would want in a crossover.

fuel

The car consumes much more fuel, than advertised, I do not know, how it is possible to cheat that much in adds, the average is 21, that is terrible.

The engine runs very smooth and has excellent fuel economy.

Love the smooth ride and performance with the turbo charge engine and better gas mileage.

although I’m going to loose some mileage per gallon it is well worth it.

The car is incredible, handles well, is good on gas, and for me who just moved from an RVR, the resources oferred on the platinum trim are impressive.

Gas mileage is very good because I drive in ECO mode all the time.

Car is very nice overall,  fuel  consumption still high I never reached 28 mpg in the town,

Driving 2022 Rogue Platinum from last 2 months, it’s really comfortable (all seats), Entertainment system could have some more options

We always get a very quiet and extremely comfortable ride.

Both seats the driver and passenger seat are very comfortable even if the passenger does is not powered it provides the same amount of comfort.

No amount of adjusting the seat, headrest or mirrors can make this safe or comfortable!!

Comfort, visibility, safety features, technology&#47;infotainment, A&#47;C are all great.

body style is good and lots of safety features , engine has some pep with quick acceleration, smooth ride with good music system.

Great styling, handling and lots of engine power.
