Best Used SUVs To Consider In 2022

SUVs have a lot of appeal to drivers, and it is easy to see why. They offer an elevated seating position for better sight-lines and more ground clearance for winter driving. They have more passenger and cargo space and are more configurable for different seating and hauling arrangements than sedans. From small SUVs to large behemoths and everything in between, there is an SUV, and accompanying price tag, that works for everyone.

Best Used SUVs

If you want a used SUV that offers good value without sacrificing modern-day conveniences and technologies, you will want to look at vehicles that are three to five years old. Focusing your search on the 2017–2019 range will get you the best of both worlds. Many of the vehicles will be lease returns, with low mileage and in like-new condition. This means they could also qualify for the manufacturer’s pre-owned certified program, which will add on additional warranties and perks for buying one.

Drivers should focus on several different factors when comparing the SUVs that are available for sale. This includes looking at reliability, fuel consumption, interior, exterior, price range, and consumer rating. Because they have already been around for five years, there is a lot more data available to consider in terms of how well the vehicle holds up over time.

Here are the best used SUVs to buy in Canada, including small, mid-size, and luxury SUVs.
