Worst SUVs of 2023
The worst SUVs of 2023 that you need to avoid to Buy.
Ford Explorer
The Explorer is one of those SUVs that just doesn't excel in any particular area, it doesn't have the most beautiful interior, the best technology or the largest amount of interior space or cargo compartment in fact, as for three-row SUVs, they have quite little space in this area, and they are also not known for their special reliability, or explorer often falls at the end of the annual consumer reports reliability survey, and the number of complaints from owners quite a lot, the most common complaints are related to electronics, a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder eco boost engine at lower trim levels, The reliability of the optional v6 hybrid and v6 eco boost does seem a little better, but it also leads to the fact that the prices for the Ford explorer are so high that they just don't make much sense. - this is an incredibly expensive SUV, for what you get, especially when you consider that there are much better alternatives at a lower price, so if you want a much better 3-0 SUV that offers a hybrid option that has a better reputation for reliability and just gives you more value for money., instead you'd better choose something like a Toyota highlander and switch to.
Jeep Cherokee
The jeep cherokee is very similar to the explorer, the cherokee is an SUV that just doesn't offer very good value for money, jeeps are often known for very ambitious prices, and the Cherokee can get quite expensive, especially when you start adding options, but it's not just overpriced. an SUV, but it's not very good either, the v6 engine and four-cylinder turbocharging provide decent performance, but they're at the very bottom of the list when it comes to fuel economy, when it comes to interior space, technology and features it offers, the Cherokee just lags behind most of its competitors, and the Cherokee just doesn't it is known as a particularly reliable car, either it is at the very bottom of the consumer reports reliability list, or it has a huge number of complaints from owners, so if you are thinking about buying a compact SUV, just forget about the Cherokee and instead choose one of its much better competitors, such as the subaru forester or toyota rav4.
Volkswagen Tiguan
The current generation Tiguan was introduced back in 2018, and while it's a decent SUV, in terms of its performance, interior space and features, it's just not a very competitive or good SUV to buy, firstly, it's incredibly expensive, especially when compared to many of its competitors like Subaru Forester or Mazda the cx-5, and it's not only much more expensive, but you'll also get an SUV that's below average when it comes to long-term reliability and repair costs., Volkswagen cars in general just don't have a good reputation for long-term reliability in North America, especially after the warranty period expires, and the Tiguan is no exception with a long history of having all sorts of serious electronics and engine problems, and when you end up having problems with them, they can be incredibly expensive to repair, so anyone who thinking about buying a tiguan for the long term, thinking that the cost of ownership will be the same as a toyota rav4 or honda crv, a huge surprise awaits, so the best thing to do, it's easy to abandon the tiguan because it just won't be worth it to get it out of the way.
Ford Escape
Ford escape eco boost, now it's important to note that not all ford escapes are the best to avoid ford escape hybrid and plug-in hybrid, for example, are actually really good SUVs with impressive fuel economy and reliability, but unfortunately this does not apply to gasoline-turbocharged escape cars from the lineup Ford's ecoboost, these engines have been extremely problematic for a long time, sometimes leading to complete engine failure, the escape is not a particularly well-designed SUV when it comes to its internal features and technology, it also doesn't have the best resale value, and it's no less expensive than any of its competitors, so there's really not much value for money here, so if you're not thinking about buying a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, just cross the ford escape off your list. since there are much better alternatives now instead, not all the worst SUVs come from North America or Europe, there are some from Asia as well.
Mitsubishi RVR
The Mitsubishi rvr or outlander sport was introduced back in 2011, it was a decent SUV when it first hit the market, but it just hasn't aged very well over time to the point that it's just uncompetitive in terms of its interior, engine performance or its technology. the outlander sport or rvr, as it is called in Canada, is really just not very suitable, and although it has a decent reputation for being a reliable car, owning a Mitsubishi can still be a bit difficult because it is such a small company and it has a very small dealer network in North America, servicing them can be quite annoying and they also have a higher average cost of parts and service compared to most competing brands, so unless you're getting an absolutely unbeatable price, just abandon this SUV all together and choose instead one of its much better alternatives, such as the subaru crosstrek or Toyota corolla cross.
Jeep compass
Jeep compass is another one of those small SUVs that just don't offer very good value for money. Firstly, the compass prices are incredibly high, often they cost much more than most of its main competitors, now jeep will make you believe that you are paying this premium to get such off-road capabilities and such an image of jeep, but let's be realistic, if you want an off-road jeep, you going to buy a wrangler instead. compass is just another small crossover, and compared to any of its major competitors, it's just not a very good choice, its poor below-average performance, reputation for reliability and low resale value are all reasons to cross it off the shopping list, so once again, if you're looking for a small crossover suv, pay attention to one of the much better alternatives on the market, such as the mazda cx-30 honda hrv or Toyota corolla cross.
Volkswagen Atlas
Volkswagen atlas is very similar to tiguan, atlas - another one of those SUVs that you just don't want to mess around with, especially if you plan to buy it for the long term, since entering the market in 2018, it just hasn't gained a good reputation for reliability, which comes from volkswagen unsurprisingly, consumer reports often puts it at the very bottom of its annual reliability survey. but it is known that it is not only unreliable, but, as in the case of other Volkswagen, does not have a warranty., it is also known that it has very high repair costs, therefore, although it is similar to other three-row SUVs of such brands, like honda and Toyota, it will cost you a lot more to keep on the road, especially for 10 years, now atlas offers a lot of great features, and it really has a lot of interior space, especially on the third row seats and in the cargo compartment, but if you are looking for a three-row SUV with a lot of interior space, you can also take a closer look to the honda pilot, which has a much better reputation for long-term reliability, or even better, you can choose a minivan like the honda odyssey or Toyota sienna hybrid, which are also a great choice, but whatever you do, just forget about atlas, because it's just not worth it.
Chevrolet Equinox
Chevrolet Equinox and GMC terrain Although they are still popular in the market, both equinox and terrain have a difficult history when it comes to their reliability and cost of ownership, the previous generation models with 2.4-liter ecotec engines and 3.6-liter engines have been known to be extremely problematic with timing chain problems. oil consumption, and sometimes complete engine failure, and although it is known that the new models are more reliable than those that came before them, gm is not exactly the company that is known for its stellar reliability, and then you have a lot of other problems with these SUVs, such as lower-than-average fuel economy, lower-than-average resale value in the long run and just not very competitive when it comes to performance or interior quality, it's honestly quite difficult to come up with a few good reasons to prefer equinox or train to their own much better competitors from brands such as mazda subaru or Toyota, and even gm plans to ditch all those SUVs and introduce a brand new all-electric equinox for the 2024 model year, which should be a huge improvement, so until that time, if you're planning on buying a small crossover, your best bet is to just buy something else instead, but whatever you do, don't buy it.
Chevrolet Traverse Buick Enclave
Chevrolet traverse buick enclave and GMC acadia, as well as equinox and terrain, all three of these three-row SUVs are very similar in appearance, and all three are equally bad, on the one hand, these SUVs do not have a good reputation in terms of long-term reliability, especially when it comes to engines and transmissions, as is known, not only they are problematic from the point of view of repair costs, but they are also extremely expensive SUVs, offering low cost compared to most of their popular competitors, low price-quality ratio, reliability below average, and just the general inferiority pretty much sums up these gm SUVs, so if you want to buy a three-row SUV, you're much better off buying one of the much better competitors instead.
Crossover SUV Fiat 500x
Fiat 500x many may be surprised to learn that the 500x is still offered in the North American market, and in fact I was as surprised as you are, as for small crossover SUVs, the 500x should be one of the absolutely worst options you can buy, its reputation for quality and reliability is significantly below average, especially since the warranty period has expired, it also offers low value at an extremely high price, which is much higher than most of its much better competitors, and it's just not a very good crossover, it doesn't stand out in any particular area., and coming from fiat, it's the only model left in the North American market, which in itself is also a serious problem, you don't want to buy a car that is one of a kind from a very small little-known brand, it will just lead to repair problems, maintenance and parts related issues may also arise in the future, which you want to avoid, so whatever you do if you buy a crossover, just avoid the fiat 500x, because almost everything else will be the best choice., so here are the 10 worst SUVs of 2023. let me know what you think about the cars from this list, and if you have any suggestions for any future car, just leave a comment.
