Whether you remember it or not, there was once a time when SUVs weren’t in the conversation for the next vehicle, even with a family. It’s hard to believe that sedans were the number one selling vehicle type at dealerships across Canada, when today, SUVs both used SUVs and new ones are on the top of many people’s lists for preferred body style. Whether you live in BC or Saskatchewan, an SUV is an ideal vehicle. Unfortunately, the cost of a brand new one is rather high. The good news is, there are loads of used ones to pick from, and we’ve put together a list of some of the top used SUVs out there.
Sure everyone would love to have a new vehicle, but don’t write off buying a used SUV as many of them come fully loaded with Bluetooth, a backup camera, leather seats, adaptive cruise control, remote start, and many other features. If you are partial to a specific automaker like Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Kia, Acura, or others, most of them have an SUV available, and with all-wheel-drive (AWD) which is perfect for any winter driving in Saskatchewan from Regina to Saskatoon.
The top reasons for purchasing a specific vehicle vary based on lifestyle, but nowadays, car buyers are consistently looking at fuel economy, affordability, safety features, and luxury upgrades like power seats, heated steering wheel, and more that add to the overall comfort.
Honda CR-V
Of course, Honda is on the list; it’s one of the most reputable auto brands out there, and they have been for decades. The subcompact Honda CR-V is family-friendly and when considering used vehicles, the 2019 model was one of the top-selling vehicles that year. It may be small but it’s mighty with a 1.5-litre, 16-valve, direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which allows it to have some guts. If you are considering resale value, rest easy; Honda is known for its vehicles' holding value. They hold their value so much, that we’re going to say that if you have one and you’re looking to upgrade or trade it in, we’d love to talk. FFUN Cars doesn’t just sell cars, we buy used cars as well. Get a trade value in just a few minutes.
Toyota Rav4
It’s not really shocking that another Japanese vehicle makes the list. Yep, we’re putting the Toyota rav4 on the list. This subcompact SUV comes standard with an 8-speed transmission and is available in hybrid or gas-powered. If you’re a luxury features person, you can add this vehicle to your list as some trim levels come with a sunroof, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, and Android Auto and CarPlay. This small SUV is also available with AWD or front-wheel-drive.
Ford Escape
Let’s get to the domestic vehicles - well, North American vehicles, with the Ford Escape. Obviously, Ford is a top-ranked used vehicle; they invented the automobile. Well, Henry Ford did, but you get what we’re saying. For (what is considered) a subcompact SUV, it has the personality of a larger one, bringing a towing capacity of 3500 pounds, AWD, and 18 safety features.
We get it, we only listed three of the best used SUVs, but in this automotive world, there are just too many amazing ones to list, including ones made by Cadillac, Dodge, and Mazda.
