Our list of best pre-owned SUVs is more like a top 15, presented in a random order, where reliability and the price-quality ratio are considered as being the most important factors.
Pre-Owned Volkswagen Atlas
The German manufacturer is known for its reliable and durable vehicle models. For over 85 years now, Volkswagen cars have been cruising the streets everywhere in the world. The VW Atlas has been on our roads since 2018 and it truly excels with two powertrains, including one with 277 horsepower and 266 lb-ft. maximum torque. This mid-size SUV offers enough space for 7- passengers to enjoy long adventures in a spacious and comfortable interior. Moreover, Volkswagen SUVs offer an excellent towing capacity, which includes the Atlas. Given that is also offers a good resale value, you are sure to be making a good deal when choosing to purchase a pre-owned Atlas.
Pre-Owned Mazda CX-5
On our roads for over 10 years, the Mazda CX-5 has been popular from the start and drivers love it for the versatility and elegance the SUV offers. It is also very fuel efficient. The Japanese manufacturer is known for its reliable vehicles. They only downside is that the 6- speed transmission could be better.
Pre-owned Nissan Kicks
Extremely versatile and agile in urban settings, the Nissan Kicks offers great possibilities for city dwellers. With its stunning silhouette, contrasting colors and exciting driving experience, the Nissan Kicks is a great choice, but you should know that there is no possibility of all-wheel drive on this vehicle.
Pre-owned Honda CR-V
Like other compact SUVs, the Honda CR-V has been cruising our streets since 1997. It has an athletic silhouette, good performance on the roads and is energy efficient, making it a good quality pre-owned SUV. It also has good resale value and is durable. It has a 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft. maximum torque 1.5 L 4- cylinder turbo powertrain. In short, the CR-V stands out year after year as part of the best compact SUV, even if we have had to wait for the 2022 model year to have access to a hybrid trim.
Pre-owned Nissan Rogue
Out of all of the Nissan models, the Rogue is the most popular among drivers. A good sized compact SUV, it offers excellent energy efficiency, both on highway and in the city. The 2021 model year gave birth to a new generation of Rogue models, with a more powerful powertrain and a much more modern design. It is a good choice in the compact SUV segment, but there is still no hybrid trim available on the market.
Pre-owned Volkswagen Tiguan
The Tiguan by Volkswagen Canada has been on our roads since 2009 and went through a makeover in 2018. With its stunning style, its generous dimensions which makes it one of the longest vehicles of its category, the pre-owned Tiguan offers excellent road handling, a spacious interior, the possibility of a third row of seats and an excellent resale value –which is true of all of the German manufacturer’s models.
Pre-owned Toyota RAV4
No matter if you opt for a combustion model or the hybrid model, the RAV4 is always considered a good pre-owned SUV. A Japanese car brand, it offers excellent road handling, great fuel efficiency and a good towing capacity for a vehicle of its size. Since it is a Toyota SUV, you can expect reliability and durability. The RAV4 or RAV4 prime are two excellent vehicles and you will also have a good resale value.
Pre-owned Subaru Outback
This vehicle shares aspects of both a station wagon and an SUV, and stands out with its robust build, its size, the versatility it offers and its adventurous spirit. Like other SUVs, the Subaru outback is reliable, and you are sure to get a good value for your money. Cruising our streets for 30 years now, this midsize SUV offers stable road handling and a generous amount of cargo space of almost 2,145 L. The only downside is its towing capacity, which is more limited than for other SUVs of its segment.
Pre-owned Kia Sportage
A pre-owned SUV with efficient AWD, the Sportage is available with two different powertrains, one of which is a 2.0 L 4- cylinder turbo with 237 horsepower and a 260 lb-ft. maximum torque. On our roads for over 20 years now, the Sportage is a reliable vehicle but the 6- speed transmission is not optimal. However, it does remain a versatile SUV.
Pre-owned Volkswagen ID.4
Cruising our roads for several years now, the Volkswagen for sale in Montreal, the 100 % electric ID.4 offered by the German manufacturer, is sure to impress with an electric range of over 445 km. With a spacious interior, several storage spaces and good energy efficiency, this German SUV is among the best electric vehicles of its segment. It offers stable road handling and resale value is excellent.
Pre-owned Toyota Highlander
If you are looking for a pre-owned midsize SUV that offers great versatility, low fuel consumption and a stable drive, the Toyota Highlander is a good choice. However, cargo space is not as generous as for other vehicles of its segment and there are not many hybrid trims available.
Pre-owned Honda HR-V
A small SUV, the HR-V stands out in terms of reliability and durability. Agile in urban settings, it offers a good amount of cargo space for a vehicle of its category. However, the HR-V is still not available in a hybrid trim and prices are quite high.
Pre-owned Mitsubishi Outlander
It might not be the most flamboyant of the lot when it comes to compact SUVs, but it does offer a wide selection of models and the hybrid trim is attractive. However, you will notice that the third row of seats is difficult to access. It still remains a good SUV that is worth your time and attention.
Pre-owned Hyundai Tucson
Offered in several trim levels, the Tuscon is Korean made, and is a reliable SUV with a relatively spacious interior. It offers a good price-quality ratio. However, the hybrid trim is expensive and it does require a lot of fuel compared to other compact SUVs of the same category.
Pre-owned Subaru Forester
On the roads since 1998, the Subaru Forester has a rugged build, on top of being versatile and powerful. Comfortable and safe, this Japanese made compact SUV is quite skilled and comes with all-wheel drive. The downside is that you will not find a hybrid trim for the Forester on the market, given that it simply does not exist!
