The Most Competitive Contest of the Year

The changes to the automotive marketplace show us several sedans that are being deleted from the lineup because of an increased desire for crossover SUVs.

Built on the same platform as their sedan siblings, crossover SUVs drive like cars but have a higher stance, larger cabin, and the qualities needed to take you where you want to go. For the 2019 model year, there are several crossover SUVs that are being considered for the 2019 AutoGuide.com Utility Vehicle of the Year Award. Here are some of the contenders for you to consider driving.

Hyundai Kona/Kona EV

This scrappy little crossover is one that could easily be considered for this award. The Kona offers you two different powertrains that can be right for you to enjoy on the road and the EV version gives you an excellent driving range with two different versions as well. Get inside and take a drive in an SUV that can be perfect for your daily riding experience.

The Kona is capable of addressing some of the shortcomings offered to make sure you can enjoy the drive and have everything you’ve been searching for in a great vehicle. There’s a funky style and an available two-tone roof to give you the quality of ride you’re looking for. Find one at your local Hyundai dealer today!

Nissan Kicks

One of the biggest surprises of the year comes from Nissan. The Kicks is an excellent and affordable small SUV that has the right amount of power for you and the CVT automatic transmission that makes it fuel efficient and a wonderful choice on the road. If you’re looking for serious value in the crossover you want to drive, the Nissan Kicks is the right choice.

When you get behind the wheel, the Kicks is a cheerful model that offers you an amazing model to experience when head out on the road. The personality offered gives you the items you want all crammed into a tight little package that can be great on the road.

Subaru Forester

The Forester has been completely redesigned for 2019 to give you the drive you’re looking for and the off-road abilities of the standard AWD system that’s offered in this SUV. Take a look at the EyeSight system and the excellent package that makes up the Forester that can become the right vehicle for you to drive.

Driving the Forester is a confident experience that will make it easy for you to know that the vehicle has your safety in mind when you take it out on the roads. As one of the most practical choices in this class, you’ll be pleased to have the ride you want when you drive.

Toyota RAV4

Toyota took a big risk in designing this SUV and that risk has paid off as a great gamble. The power is right, the seats are comfortable, and the suite of driver assistance features makes this an excellent choice for you. The RAV4 can give you up to 39 mpg combined to make sure you can have the ride you’re looking for to handle your daily journey.

The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 and 203 horsepower engine will make this SUV a pleasure for you to drive. The RAV4 is boxy and rugged with the look you want and the feeling you’re after as you head out on the road for a ride.

Volvo XC40

Here’s a new entry into the luxury subcompact SUV segment and it offers you the package of luxury features that will make a difference for you on the road. This impressive vehicle gives you the drive you’re looking for and the package of items that you expect from Volvo. You’re going to want to take a drive in this beauty when you see it.

As you would expect from a Volvo SUV, the power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that handles the power you need and gives you the drive that makes a huge difference when you want a great luxury ride.
The winner of this contest will be announced in the near future, but you can certainly consider any of these five if you’re looking for an excellent choice when it’s time to choose the right compact SUV to drive.
