10 ADVENTURE-FRIENDLY SMALL sport utility vehicle VEHICLES
2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PEHV Exterior
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV ?: ERICA MUELLER

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER
The Mitsubishi Outlander isn’t just an excellent small SUV, it’s also a PHEV: plug-in electric hybrid. And, it’s the 3rd row to boot!

“It wasn’t just the hybrid powertrain that had me skeptical, I’ve driven some pretty nice hybrids, but it had been the mixture of this being a plugin hybrid and an SUV. See, I expect tons from my SUVs. I treat them like pickups, driving them across fields, down riverbanks, and up washed-out dirt roads. I haul animal feed and bales of hay and wood chips and garden supplies within the cargo space. we actually put these vehicles through their paces which suggests I’m trying to find power, durability, and practicality also as comfort for our family.”

2019 Volkswagen Tiguan SE

VW TIGUAN
“Having driven the Tiguan before, at an automotive event, I knew that I liked it, but I feel at that time I used to be enamored by the Habanero Orange Metallic paint job and therefore the luggage rack that made this compact SUV look so sporty and fun. Until I got one to drive for every week I had no idea just what proportion I might love and appreciate this car. i actually didn’t want to offer it back. The Tiguan was completely redesigned last year, updated to seem sort of a mini-version of the very fashionable VW Atlas 3-row SUV. it’s a sharper, more sculpted look and a classic SUV shape. And, with American car buyers demonstrated demand for third-row SUVs, the corporate extended the body a couple of inches to feature the choice of a third row.”

Drive: Available 4×4 with on-road, off-road, and snow mode
Towing: Up to 1500 lbs

Mazda CX-5 luxury compact SUV
A view OF THE MAZDA CX-5. ?SCOTTY REISS

MAZDA CX-5
A few years ago Mazda rebranded as a premium auto company. Still value-priced—especially for what you get— the brand has been making waves; it’s an excellent car for a sensible girl who wants luxury but doesn’t need a flashy badge to inform the planet.

Sort of just like the stealth goodness of a demure but luxe Saint Laurent bag versus the brilliant interlocking double C’s that announce a Chanel bag. Inside, they’re smartly designed and appointed with quality details, but on the surface, they need a special message to the planet. One says “I got this,” the opposite says “lookout, here I come!” Mazda is simply such a luxury car. It delivers the posh features you would like, but minus the flashy badge. And, as long because the luxury is real, we’re good thereupon.

Starting Price: $24,350 USD
Drive: FWD with available AWD
Towing: 2000 to 3500 lbs
Cubic Feet of Rear Cargo (behind passengers) Space: 31
2019 Subaru Forester
2019 SUBARU FORESTER. ?: SCOTTY REISS

SUBARU FORESTER
“Subaru’s reputation is rooted in all-wheel drive and 4WD capability; it had been the primary brand to supply this technology across all its models and why it became so fashionable drivers within the Northern States where you actually need the potential.

X Mode allows you to choose the quantity of all-wheel drive assist you to require the Subaru to kick in; but dual-mode X Mode adds thereto with automated capability on challenging surfaces: The system controls acceleration and braking to maximize grip on rough terrain, mud, snow, gravel, sand, hills; you only take your foot off the brake or gas and therefore the system self-regulates. All you are doing is steer, again, taking a number of the distraction out of those situations; steering itself is often a challenge in many places!”

Starting Price: $24,295 USD
Drive: Standard AWD

2019 Kia Sportage EX
DOESN’T SHE looks SASSY IN MY DRIVEWAY?! ? CHRISTA THOMPSON

KIA SPORTAGE
“There were some specific needs and a few specific wants that I had in mind while I used to be shopping around for our new family car. Needs for size, safety, reliability and fuel, and needs for aesthetics and private preference.

What’s new within the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio

I needed a vehicle large enough to suit my family of three and two small dogs and still have enough room to load it beat for road trips so, an SUV made the foremost sense. it had been also important for us to shop for a vehicle that was competitive on mileage, had advanced safety features, and a pleasant technology package.

I knew this is able to be the car my son would find yourself learning to drive in and presumably own himself in six years. So I wanted to form sure that he would be during a safe car with handsfree technology. The Kia Sportage fits the bill.

THE ALL-NEW 2019 CHEVY BLAZER RS.?: CONNIE PETERS

CHEVY BLAZER
“It’s eye-catching and bold, bolder than its predecessor – one among the first SUVs on the road – that went out of production in 2005. But the Chevy Blazer is back and takes inspiration a la mode and style from one among the foremost iconic Chevy models ever – the Camaro.

Taking a nod from Camaro, the sporty body design is appealing with thin LED headlamps under the headlights, and therefore the Chevrolet bowtie emblem stands out against the all-black grille. the inside has large climate control dials that also hail from the Camaro interior. And just like the Camaro, the motor doesn’t disappoint, either. It’s an equivalent drive train because of the Chevrolet Equinox and therefore the Cadillac XT5.”
