10 Most Reliable New Mid-Sized SUVs - Here is Why They Are So Dependable !!

If you are in the market for a new midsize SUV, you may be overwhelmed by the number of options available. It can be difficult to determine which SUV will be reliable and you can depend on it in the longer run.
According to Consumer Reports - Reliability indicates how models have performed in the past, providing the basis for predicting how the new vehicles will hold up in the years ahead. CR uses owner survey data they receive for over 300,000 vehicles, plus for newer models the CR automotive engineers use the technical spec, test-drive info and the brand reputation.
We have compiled 10 most reliable midsize SUVs you can buy as per Consumer Reports.

Aside from front running Toyota and Lexus, I’ve had phenomenal luck and success with the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the larger Outlander. Biggest bang for the buck! My family has owned 4 Mitsubishi over the past 10 years and 200k plus miles. Absolutely reliable, dependable and economical. Zero defects on all 4 cars too!! Dealers wheel and deal and I’m completely happy with their service departments. My only complaint was the factory standard Nexen tires, which are garbage after 20k miles. I swapped them out for Michelin Defenders and the ride and handling were significantly better. PS the Mitsubishi’s 4wd system absolutely slays our nasty Ohio winters.

As the owner of a 2022 Ford Edge SEL I’d highly recommend it an I can believe that the 23 Edge will be just as good far as reliability, mine currently has about 20k miles it handles rough terrain very efficiently, extremely comfortable seats and rear seat space is more than enough and super comfortable especially on long trips. Very stylish leather interior, aggressive exterior with lovely chrome detailing, and good ground clearance. I live in Michigan so I know it’s very good in the snow and heavy rain I feel safe and stable driving it, wind noise non existent, little to no tire noise, very responsive steering and throttle with excellent breaking. The Edge is a wonderful car with adequate power and very fun to drive aggressively only complaint is pre-collision assist which alerts you if it senses the car rapidly approaching other cars and I feel it’s decent but not entirely useful as it turns down music and flashes a red crash animation on the gauge cluster but it doesn’t do anything to stop you from crashing (e.g no emergency breaking) also feel the backup camera is lacking for instance on a sunny day the camera can be pretty hard to see but no malfunctions, all sensors work and if they are dirty the car will basically tell you to wash it😂 overall I’d give the 2022 Ford Edge a 100 overall I love it.

2002 Toyota Sequoia Limited. 228k on it, and the 4.7 V8 is smooth as butter. Very big, very heavy, but thats why I love it. Had fun this winter in Cincinnati when other trucks/suv’s were sliding around getting stuck, passing them with no problem. Toyota for the win. 🏅 🏆

WHAT ABT TELLURIDE AND PALISADE

[@jimwalden7863]

Any reason why Subarus didn’t make the list? We’ve been looking at the Subaru Outback wilderness.

[@eskieman3948]

Because this was in May 2023. Check out what Consumer Reports says about the most reliable cars now - five are Subarus.

[@its.me_mo-]

The Outback is considered more "wagin"ish, wagon which is why it's not on here. Forester is considered compact, and the Ascent--which is Subaru's only 3rd row seat vehical--is considered unreliable.

[@seanhoward8025]

I can’t believe you’d recommend ANYTHING Hyundai or Kia. Sure, they have a “great” warranty…if you can find a dealer to actually honor it.

[@larrymcdonald5219]

I own a 2022 Kia Telluride SX Nightfall Edition and I absolutely love this SUV. I’ve had no issues and have only had oil changes. It does everything and is comfortable and very quiet. Most of these on the list I’ve never even considered except for the Highlander and the MDX. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and the 2023 Telluride is tied for the top rated SUV, same as last year. I’m not sure why it’s not on this list.

I should stop watching right now (~1:25). How is a brand new SUV (mazda x90) with a brand new engine on top of the reliability ranking? Do we need to remember how the GLE350 went from being an indistructuble SUV to the worst of the worst between 2018 and 2020?

[@visiondemedici6347]

That has always been my lament with C/R. They like to rely on the past performance, but with a new generation model, you really don’t know how it’s going to do verses last years. Yet they rate it the same.

[@jmarxful]

Well it's not really on top. It went first which means it's rated #10 making it the bottom of the top 10. The Lexus RX is the SUV on top or #1 for predicted reliability according to CR.

[@potentatewags]

Because it's Mazda, they're as reliable as Toyota anymore. And Mercedes is not.

[@its.me_mo-]

"how is a brand new SUV reliable" I guess you didn't listen to the person talking. For every car he talks about, he says "Predicted," and at the start, he says "We use the brand's reputation history." 😮

500 miles? Damn the amount of gas saved is like a car payment alone

[@josies.3415]

I recently bought a 2024 Hyundai palisade Xrt, drove it off the dealership Friday night, drove it around the city sat & Sunday, by Monday morning while running an everyday errand to the grocery it started acting strangely and made it 2 blocks out of the grocery store when it came to a complete stop. Had to call roadside assistance and it was taken back to the dealership. Here I am 10 days later finding out by Hyundai that the engine needs to be replaced. So basically the engine gave out.

[@nolanburton7985]

Why was the RAV4 not mentioned?

I like the Santa Fe but the way they do trims and determine what's standard is so aggravating. To be fair, that's just about true for most vehicles.

[@meylingsanford8522]

Toyota 4Runner the most reliable suv there is available. Sure uses more gas than others suv but at 170,000 miles is still going strong with zero issues in 15 years of ownership.

[@dammitbobby283]

The 2024 Ford Edge has a 350 HP option, lol, even the base model is 250 HP which is better than I expected, I figured maybe 200 HP.

[@maw4736]

What about the CRV ? No Nissan mentioned either ?

[@oliviamathis3417]

The CRV needs to get rid of that CVT transmission!

[@its.me_mo-]

CR-V is considered compact, and the only reliable Nissan's are Rogue, Altima, and Murano. They are not midsize. This is the mid-sized catagory. edit: ok i found that the murano is actually mid sized according to nissan

[@michaelnoriega1564]

What happened to the Subaru outback

[@its.me_mo-]

Subaru Outback is more of a "wagon"

[@patrickcarleton3924]

I fail to see how 1 year old, or less, models can be rated as reliable models. Or, how a 3 row model is classified as a mid-sized model.

The rav4 hybrid is basically the same as the venza but cheaper and looks cooler. Should have been on here. Especially the prime.

Compact SUV. This is a mid sized video.

[@jpblauvelt]

No mention of the Subaru Outback. Why? High quality, dependability, 5 star crash rating, are just a few reasons it should be head-and-shoulders above most if not all the cars on your list. I own a 2017 Subaru WRX STI Limited. My wife just bought a 2023 Forester Wilderness edition. Both fantastic vehicles. Yeah I now. The Forester is not classified as a mid-size SUV. Just saying Subaru = Quality.

Last time I checked the E-class of MB is the mid size not the C-class. The same thing goes for BMW. 5 series is the mid size not the 3 series.
