THE SIDE NOTE - Ok, we have an updated list of some of the BEST SUVs for Seniors in 2023. A couple vehicles have dropped off the list and others have been added. Keep in mind that this list is designed to reflect the fact that not all seniors are the same and being a senior covers a significant age window, starting at roughly 62 and going up to...well, however long people live. That's a huge window and some seniors definitely have mobility issues that make certain features in a vehicle important while others live very active lives and want a vehicle that reflects that. Beyond that, there's price considerations, reliability ratings and other variables that are considered. Hopefully we hit close to the mark...let us know either way.

[@KL-er7yi]

Same thing if any goods really. They have the money that young ones don’t unless they are married to a sugar daddy or mom and dad give ‘em cart Blanche.

[@petersmith2040]

How do you define Seniors? People who are 65 and older?

[@auto_exclusive]

@@petersmith2040 When making these videos, we are thinking about people being in their sixties or older and semi-retired to retired (no commute). We focus more on this generation of seniors being more active and traveling more than ever before rather than focusing on the physical limitations that come with aging. Hope that answers your question.

[@5610winston]

I just put a deposit down on a red Crosstrek Premium (a step below 'Sport' because I wanted the manual six-speed). I expect a long and happy relationship with it. The only real downside is, I ordered in early January and they project delivery in April.

[@auto_exclusive]

@@5610winston Once you get it...let us know how you like it!

[@julietphillips1991]

As a senior, soon to be 66 years young, I am about to purchase a vehicle that I hope to love for years to come and one that I can afford. Truth be told, I am not too tech savvy and really do not care for it. I do not need features that I will not use. I want a reliable vehicle and one that will not break my shallow pocket!

[@ethimself5064]

Avoid any vehicle with a Turbo Charger

[@vinhtran1790]

Yes me too. Who’d help us to find this type of vehicle

[@golfhound]

@@vinhtran1790 Consumer Report will be a good reliable guide for finding the most reliable vehicle for seniors. I'm guessing that a subscription will run you around $30, but you'll save $hundreds. Also consumer guide and Kelly Blue book will help you in terms of dealer cost of a new vehicle. Dealer cost is always way below MSRP.

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

I am an occupational therapist; positioning and functional movement IS our wheelhouse. As mobility declines, the best suite of safety features reduce (but not eliminate) the demands of turning eyes and head. Adjustable safety belts are essential. A power seat adjustment and heated seats are welcome choices. SUVs have storage that requires less bending to access. Power tailgate and moonroof is helpful as well. You want a high enough ground clearance and leg space to enter and exit w/o severe hip bending, particularly as knees and hips become an issue. Best visibility forward, side and rear are essential. If you become disabled, find an OT that can formally assess and adapt your driving experience for safety and comfort. AARP holds FREE car assessments at most university programs on a regular basis. We want people to retain both their safety and independence.

[@michaelsuarez5201]

Because my wife and I aren’t concerned about vehicle price or fuel economy, we just wanted the most reliable SUV we could find. We bought a Lexus RX 350. Amazing car.

[@williamwilkins3084]

I'm a senior and I'm not like ANYBODY else. I am proud of and cherish my unique individuality!

[@5610winston]

"Sixty is the new forty." I won't identify my age demographic, but I ordered a manual-shift Crosstrek because it's big enough for two dog crates inside and a folding grooming table on the roof rack, or one or more bicycles, including my tandem.

[@ursamajor7468]

Ok.

[@thomaswallace479]

Getting in & out is a big deal. I am 78yo, have arthritis (of course) & 4 broken vertebrae. Some cars have seats that are too low to the ground that exit is a struggle, even with my cane.

[@5610winston]

ingress and egress is why I bought a Crosstrek instead of an Impreza.

[@williamseay7983]

How does the cross trek drive

[@5610winston]

@@williamseay7983 I like it. I also have a 2013 Frontier, a nice truck, but the Crosstrek is easier to get in and out, it's easier to manage in parking lots and traffic. The manual shift is a bit clunky, or it was when I got it new, but it seems to be smoothing out as it wears in. Gas mileage is 50% better than the Frontier, or better, up to 35 mpg (US) on the interstate, and on a hundred mile jaunt on rural two-lane roads at speeds 40 to 50 mph it showed over 41 mpg. I'm getting a bit more tire noise than I am used to, but I think it will improve when I replace the G91 Geolandars with Michelins.

[@lindaolphin7897]

You got that right!

[@lynnclendenin2988]

That’s my problem with my Grand Cherokee. Getting in and out after a hip replacement and back issues is getting harder each day. I joke that the cars so close to the ground need an onboard crane to get me out!

[@JR-pr8jb]

For seniors, forget big power, sports car handling, off-road nonsense, even gas mileage. Other than purchase price, we look for: 1. Ease of physically entering/egressing the vehicle, general ergonomic accessibility and comfort. 2. Safety, above all vision-height but also other plausible safety features. 3. Reliability--This may be our last car, and we need it to last with no mechanical hassles.

[@keitha.9788]

Have driven a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for almost 4 years. Best vehicle I've ever owned.... Great gas mileage and extremely reliable.

[@Pinball-Audio]

[@johngrissinger6463]

Supplying seat height from curb, and rocker panel width would be helpful additions for those of us who now have difficult getting out. Grip handles on the A pillar is essential.

[@sherrymdsrn]

what’s the rocker panel?

[@5610winston]

@@sherrymdsrn The door sill you have to step over to get in or out. As an aside, the Subaru Impreza five-door (hatchback) has identical interior dimensions to the Crosstrek, and I considered the Impreza in my shopping. The problem I encountered is that the Impreza seats the driver a few inches lower than the Crosstrek and I found ingress and egress significantly easier in the Crosstrek. Both Crosstrek and Impreza hatchback advertise greater passenger space and seat-up cargo space than some full-size cars had fifty years ago (I remember my '73 Dodge Coronet was about two cubic feet less in both dimensions). As far as I've been able to tell, the Crosstrek is the only vehicle in the compact SUV class still available with manual transmission. I put my order in this afternoon, delivery projected in April.

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

@@5610winston I agree, I cannot find any data on the width of the rocker panel/door threshold. I bought a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander and absolutely hate 10” wide step-in distance and always getting my pants dirty as the lower panel traps dirt and soils your pants when you get in. Do you know which small SUVs have a narrower threshold?

[@Manuel941]

I am looking for a table that shows the height from Curb, any luck on that resource? I had a hip fracture and I can't stand from regular cars

[@brentwoodbay]

@@Manuel941 Measuring the overall height of the vehicle , LESS the drivers head room , will give you an idea of how low the seat is off the ground, but only when compared to other vehicles. I really wish they would give this actual figure in the car's dimension.

[@MrMensa141]

I am enjoying my 2023 Tucson. I'm hoping it treats me as well as my 2016 Tucson. At somewhat over 60K miles I replaced the tires, brakes and opted to replace the battery. I replaced the wipers once along the way. That 2016 went to 103K miles prior to selling it for the 2023. Nothing else broke or needed repairs.

[@diannelavoie5385]

Still have our 2012 Santa Fe. It has been a great vehicle. No regrets. Handles road trips with comfort, ease and more than enough room for luggage and extras.

[@winstonelston5743]

You can sell a young man's car to an old man, but you'll never sell an old man's car to a young man, and remember, eighty is the new fifty, fifty is the new thirty, and nothing screams OLD MAN'S CAR louder than an automatic gearbox. A CVT is the exclamation point on that statement.

[@williamwilkins3084]

Well, I'm a senior and I bought me a cool car while they WERE still making cars. And I'm going to hang onto it for as long as I can - I myself have no interest in these damn things.

[@auto_exclusive]

Couldn't agree more...eighty is the new fifty, fifty is the new thirty and many seniors are very active and want vehicles that reflect that.

Firstly, I had a laugh over the constant reference to Apple car play and android. I’m a reasonably tech savvy senior and never use them. I’ve had another SUV for over a year which wasn’t mentioned, and a better option than many here. Toyota Yaris Cross hybrid. More than enough size for 2 people, lots of safety tech, and extremely good on fuel- we get 3.6litres/100kms around town. Love it.

[@auto_exclusive]

My experience is quite different. I find that seniors love hooking up their phones for navigation (and sometimes music as well). Some seniors that I know didn't always realize that when doing so, they are utilizing Apple CarPlay/Android Auto but that is what's happening.

[@kippywylie]

@@auto_exclusive I'm 73 years old and drive very long distances as well as around town, and with a very simple Android Auto connection these drives are all much more stress free. Things like "OK, Navigate to grandchildrens" or "Find gas in my route" or "Play Beatles When I'm 64“ have helped make all drives safer and more enjoyable

[@jimcollins8097]

Perhaps in the future you could address the user interface (UI) in the newer cars as relates to seniors. We are 72 and looked at a 2022 Lexus at Christmas. We had cash in hand and loved the car, but soon realized we did not have enough computer savy to operate it. It's basically a laptop with 4 wheels, with very few tactical switches on the instrument panel - everything is done thru the computer. That requires computer savey and frankly requires drawing your eyes away from the road. The owners manual is almost 800 pages, and the KZbin video on setting up the computer is 3.5 hours long! The car recognizes the driver by their cell phone, not the key fob, and neither of us had phones new enough to accept the software. We had to take our $50,000 cash and just go home. PEW Research in late '22 said 40% of people 72-89 don't even own a smart phone. Which newer cars can be operated with the least amount of computer interface or knowledge? My research concluded we would have to go backwards to a 2016 Lexus to have a chance at operating it. The aging baby boomers have plenty of money but all the cars are designed for the younger crowd. Where are the cars that have more simple and straight-forward UI's ???????

[@allanbriggs807]

Yep - I concur. Most people don't use the "gadgets" in a car. Just give me a basic comfortable, reliable car with good handling and adequate performance. Oh and a six stacker CD player.

[@Jim-bh7gs]

​@@allanbriggs807oh please,please bring back cd players! There really is no niche car for oldsters. I can see why.

Since people are keeping their cars longer, which of these SUVs will still be around in 10 years? And will it still be intuitive to use for a senior 10 years older from now?

Be sure to view the Death Rates in Cars and National Insurance payout numbers before buying. These are the real figures to go by. In this age of monster sized trucks and SUVs you need something which can compete. Take special note of the A pillar in the car you choose, as many have huge blind spots and make the vehicle seem more confining.

The only reason I can think of is that the exterior styling has become a bit too aggressive for seniors with all the plastic cladding creeping up the front, rear and sides.

[@BRH1964]

Perhaps the fact that Subaru knows they have electrical issues with many models,over many years, yet are fighting tooth and nail to avoid formal recall. My elderly father has 2018 outback with 23k miles. Few months ago he had dead battery. Purchased new battery and he is still having dead battery issues. Dealer says it could be because he only uses it once or twice a week(which is utter bs) currently a class action lawsuit going on that we heard about not from Subaru or the dealer,but the news!

The title of your video should have been "10 Best SUVs for Wealthy Seniors in 2023" I could not possibly afford the payments on any of these vehicles. You have completely left out the majority of seniors in the US who are living on Social Security. I'm perfectly happy in my 1999 Toyota Corolla that gets great gas mileage, is easy to park in any space and zips around wherever I want to go. Would never use all the unnecessary high tech features in the newer vehicles. I'm not going to the moon.

[@auto_exclusive]

I don't disagree that vehicle prices are too high and you are right, a new vehicle of any sorts is financially out-of-range for many seniors. However, there are plenty of seniors--just like anyone else--that do buy new vehicles including SUVs and most of the ones listed in this video are within a reasonable price range one would expect to pay for a new SUV.

[@lisas8244]

@@auto_exclusive It is true that there are many seniors who can afford to buy new SUVs. "Reasonable" price is relative. The vast majority of senior Americans cannot afford a new SUV and that is the part that you left out and that I take issue with.

I wish I had known about the fatal water pump issue, it will cost $2000 to replace if if fails. Do not buy any Ford with the 3.5 or 3.7 V6 which is just about all of their front wheel drive vehicles.

[@athenahernandez2335]

I just read a comment by a gentleman named Thomas Wallace.. I agree with him very much because there are many SUVs where the seats do not pump up high enough.. It's not a laughing matter but at times it is because I'm only 5 ft tall and I always have to put a pillow in order to see over the hood whether it be a truck,suv, or sedan. Although it may seem and sound funny as we get older and I am laughing here as I am texting this We shrink our bodies shrink so those who are 6'2 later will probably be 5'9 58 Now you take someone like me who's only 5 ft tall Can you imagine lolol But at least I have a sense of humor saying about myself but it is true as I mentioned of those vehicles it is hard and especially many who have arthritis and arthritis can come in any kind of form with years of working hard or of being in an accident with time arthritis develops I'm not a doctor or any kind of a physician but truth be told it is hard when one has arthritis or rheumatism that just part of life and getting older In order for a seniors to have these kind of vehicles You have to consider not only because the steering wheel has a warming to the hands a seat warmer when you're sitting down driving That's all good and dandy.. But what about the airbag that comes out flying I don't know maybe 150 to 200 miles an hour at your face and the person could be dead when only it was just a slight rear end My mother used to say the littlest things are the most important and I didn't hear any of those things in any of those vehicles I did make a comment about prices and years that a seniors would not be allowed if we were to ask for a 5-year loan or 6-year loan where we would be able to pay.. But I do believe what this gentleman said on his comment it has to be easy for all senior citizens to be able and capable to get out of the cars and of the trucks that are made for seniors and again affordable to pay with our pension or disability funds.. for our generation of 2023 we are the baby boomers that you are speaking of. Please don't show us something that you think that we may be so naive not to understand or comprehend. Show us something that we can be able to get out even if we have a cane easy.. Show us something that the whole industry who make these vehicles where we would be able to afford to pay in five or six years of payments and with God's blessings that we will be able to live past those years. Allow us to be able to afford a car and to be able to be allowed to Make the payments in five or six years.. Not only these industries who make these cars make their customers or I should say their senior citizens customers happy and all car industries in America they too will be happy in making a sale. But I must say also do not charge us or don't charge anyone else for that matter young or old don't charge us just for filling out a piece of paper That is ridiculous in the auto industry That is your job That's what they are paying you for.. and not turn around and charge us or the pen that you're using to write on the sales paper That's ridiculous. We already know we have to pay taxes state taxes registration fee and then you want to turn around and charge us no matter what AGE charge us for the ink pen you're using to fill out the sales form doesn't take us at Rock of scientist to know that that's ridiculous,, Not all seniors are that naive or stupid I'm not saying that you're calling us that I see that you're showing us the vehicles here on this KZbin.. But the auto industry to the CEO who does the thinking for the owners of these industries also need to understand that these prices are still too high for the seniors of 2023 And I know this is about the 10 best SUVs for the seniors in 2023 but your prices are still again too high. But I also want to stress about the magnitude of the airbag That comes out flying at a high rate of speed.. It could be at a slight front bumper hit and that airbag comes flying out and hits the senior citizen smack straight in the face HARD well then that person has died at the scene ..You need to really think about everything of a senior citizen everything Again thank you for your time

[@Dontclickthis77]

So which suv you prefer?

[@lorenschwiderski]

Subaru dropped the stick in CrossTrek. Looks like the larger engine is called for to achieve any speed at all. This raises the price to that of the Forester and Outback, but to my eye the CrossTrek is the most sporty looking. The Forester will be the winner again once the 2025 model hits the lots in Spring, with the old model being a choice, if you like discounts. From the images I have seen so far, the Forester is much improved.

You are correct, that is a major downside if you choose to go with a Maverik. I have read, however, that some do trickle out to dealer lots.

Height of door sill, diagonal size of door opening is never noted only ground clearance. Which is only about off road which most of these vehicles don’t do. Same as entry into the rear seat. Manufacturers give the distance between seats but not distance from door frame to seat. Cars are designed for mass market unfortunately but a little thought outside the box would go a long way. Same as putting a child in a child seat, try that.

I have a 2022 Mazda CX 5 carbon edition and I am getting 31 miles to the gallon not the 26 they stated. If you buy the turbo it will be lower. Typically my speed is 75 to 78 on the highway this is when I get the best mileage. Even though the highway speed here is 70 people will run you over at that speed. 😊

Love my 2017 Ford Edge. So easy to get in and out of and I've had 0 problems with it. Was going to buy another in the next couple of years but the geniuses at Ford are going to discontinue it.

[@MrJestyler]

I like the edge also. Drove a 2020 for 5 days on a recent trip. Already had 60k miles on it and being a rental car how it was previously driven is unknown but no squeaks, rattles or lose parts. Very solid feeling vehicle with surprising handling, great breaks and very supportive front seats and a very quiet and very very low wind noise. I am hardcore Toyota but I have not been impressed with anything they offer. Sad that Ford is discontinuing the Edge but great news for buyers means prices will drop and can catch a deal on a good used one even new one. 👍

[@mavisjones4750]

The Soul is actually not classified as an SUV, even though most people think of it as one. Kia considered it a car. I've had two Souls and I really like the design of the vehicle but Kia needs to work on it's transmissions. There is a definite problem with transmissions on the Soul.

This senior likes her Subaru Forester

[@donb782]

Wife and I are mid 70s. We don’t off road, we don’t trailer things and we don’t carry many people. We like quiet and smooth riding vehicles with as many safety goodies as we can get. We opted for the Cadillac XT 5 and couldn’t be happier

[@svenlabots1869]

Amazing list. Truly any of these cars would be an awesome pick. Those asian engineers rock, don't they? I'd pick the Subaru Forester, but unfortunately here in Belgium it's filthy expensive, starting at 45k€. 😣

The Crosstrek is a fine choice, too.

I am 84 years old and I love my2023 Ford Escape hybrid. Why was it left off this list?

[@auto_exclusive]

That's great that you love your Escape and the hybrid was definitely the way to go. It'll probably serve you well. The Compact SUV segment is crowded and only 5 made the list along with 4 sub-compacts and 1 midsize. When compared to its peers, the Escape just didn't have what it takes in the end to make the list. We're not alone in this assessment as Consumer Reports ranks the Escape #19 out of 21 in the category.

[@JudyBooth-q9h]

Do you offer specials for senior citizens I read somewhere you have leases with nothing down and a low monthly payment

[@bp39047]

With two knee replacements, I cannot start to fit into a Tucson as I have tried to. Small cars are not for seniors with disabilities.

[@worrywart1311]

Most of these vehicles are bigger than needed by the majority of married or single seniors. A lot of more appropriate vehicles, including sedans, have been omitted.

[@jillxz9424]

I am a senior and I buy whatever I like regardless of the size. I love the RAV4 also Honda CR-V and the Kia Sportage.

[@worrywart1311]

@@jillxz9424 The topic is appropriate vehicles for the elderly, not what they like.

[@sharonb.9128]

The title is literally 10 best SUV’s for seniors! Not sport cars or pickup trucks…SUV’s. THIS video is not about other types of vehicles.

[@CherryRed1]

Sedans don't take wheelchairs or walkers easily, and it's a lot easier to get out of many of these, for ex can't beat the Suburu for ease in entry/exit. I would never buy a sedan.

[@worrywart1311]

@@CherryRed1 A did say most of the vehicles in the video were bigger than needed. I agree that the Crosstrek is an exception. However, it is not an SUV, it is a lifted Impreza hatch.

[@MrCpfans4]

you put the crosstrek on this but left out the Outback. The crosstrek is uncomfortable and harder to get into than the outback and the outback doesn't have the jarring ride. The Outback would be a better fit

[@auto_exclusive]

Good feedback...I believe this is the 2nd comment suggesting the Outback should have made the list and it almost did. The Outback will definitely be reconsidered for the 2024 video. Thanks for the input.

[@kathycooper7872]

That's why I went with a forester...easy to get in and out of...plenty of headroom...great safety features

[@CherryRed1]

I test drove the Outback. It's got a beautiful smooth ride. The issue is the same with all the Suburu's - the mileage... hoping they get the hybrid versions out and they aren't crazy expensive.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

These people are clueless. Forget the damn tech that we do not give a damn about and talk about reliability. At 71 I do not want to be stranded along the side of the road. They put all of these plastic parts under the hood especially the cooling system, then they give us a turbo that is just something else to go wrong. They are expensive to repair especially after the warranty expires. But that extra heat from that turbo creates and yes heat as they are powered by the exhaust system that heat dries out those plastic cooling system parts even faster and they become brittle crack and leave you with an overheated engine along the side of the road. I am talking especially to GM here. Those Ecotech engines are famous for this. We had three in the family, and it happened to every one of them.
