Midsize SUVs began to catch on as replacements for family sedans, station wagons, and minivans in the early 1990s. The market started small, with just a few models, but today there are 32 vehicles that Consumer Guide classifies as midsize SUVs and 17 more that we put into our premium midsize SUV class.
In 2006, more than 16 million vehicles were sold in the United States. According to Automotive News sales data, more than half of those were light trucks, which includes all midsize SUVs. The total light truck market was down 6.7 percent compared to 2005, to a little more than 8.4 million units. Automotive News says the total SUV market was down almost 10 percent, or about 250,000 units. In spite of a down market, automakers continue to introduce new midsize SUVs.
Evolved from compact pickups, the first midsize SUVs used ladder frames and live rear axles, and therefore rode and handled like trucks. Today's midsize SUVs are much more refined. Sure trucklike workhorses, such as the Toyota 4Runner and Chevrolet TrailBlazer are still offered, but car-type SUVs, such as the Nissan Murano and Ford Freestyle, have been popular in recent years. These car-based SUVs ride and handle like large sedans.

Midsize SUVs typically come with six- or eight-cylinder engines. They tend to ride high, have lots of passenger space and cargo room, and present a tough, brawny appearance. Typical tradeoffs versus a midsize sedan are poor fuel economy and maneuverability, trucky handling, and a bumpy ride.
Midsize SUVs are a good choice for families on-the-go or singles that enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, skiing, or hiking. Five-passenger seating is the norm, but many midsize SUVs offer a third row that expands seating capacity to seven and in a couple instances, eight.
The 2007 model year saw the introduction of several new models. They included the Dodge Nitro, Ford Edge, GMC Acadia, Mazda CX-7, Mazda CX-9, Saturn Outlook, and Toyota FJ Cruiser. Other vehicles were redesigned or received styling and powertrain updates. The Hyundai Santa Fe was redesigned with new styling and more power, as was the Kia Sorento and Suzuki XL7. The Dodge Durango and Subaru B9 Tribeca received freshened exterior styling. The Chrysler Pacifica and Hummer H3 received more powerful engines. The Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent received suspension and steering changes, and they exchanged their rear drum brakes for discs. After a brief 2007 production run, the Buick Rendezvous goes to the great parking lot in the sky.
What to Look For in a Midsize SUV
Most midsize SUVs offer rear-wheel drive or a choice of four-wheel or all-wheel drive. A few offer front-drive. Your choice of drive wheels, as well as your choice of SUV, should depend on your needs.
If you live in an area where snow is likely for much of the year, opt for front-drive, AWD, or 4WD. If you intend to go off-roading, a 4WD or AWD system with low-range gearing is the way to go. If you're only going to drive your SUV on the street, rear-drive or front-drive will work just fine. You shouldn't pay extra for an off-road-capable vehicle if you don't intend to leave paved surfaces.
The disadvantages of AWD or 4WD versus a two-wheel drive model include reduced fuel economy and higher insurance and maintenance costs. The higher initial cost of AWD or 4WD is, however, somewhat offset by higher resale value.
Some owners use their vehicles for towing, and only a handful of midsize SUVs offer real capacity in this regard. If you plan to tow with your SUV, make sure your vehicle of choice is rated to tow the weight of your intended load. Larger engines can tow bigger loads. Midsize SUV towing capacities range from 3000 lb to 7300 lb. For more information on towing capacity, see the specification chart below.
As the name implies, SUVs are utility vehicles. As such, your choice of midsize SUV should meet your cargo needs. Check the rear seating and cargo arrangement. All midsize SUVs have rear seats that fold. Some fold into the floor, creating a flat surface convenient for loading large items. Other SUVs have rear seats that fold unevenly, making it difficult to load longer cargo. Also check the tailgate. Some tailgates have opening rear glass that makes it easier to load items such as groceries. Some have power opening tailgates. And some tailgates are actually cargo doors that open toward the curb, which can be a hassle for city dwellers.
Car-type or Truck-type? The original SUVs were built on truck frames. Many still use this type of architecture, but others use a car-type unitized body design. These SUVs use the body shell as the main structural component instead of a frame. Here is a breakdown of midsize SUVs and what type they are.
Truck-type SUVs tend to be heavier and more capable off-road, but have poor fuel economy compared to car-type SUVs. Conversely, car-type SUVs usually have a more car-like ride, with less bounding and lean, and they are more nimble and maneuverable, but shouldn't tread far off the beaten path. There are exceptions on each side, so we suggest checking our individual vehicle reviews to see how each model stacks up. For buyers who don't intend to tow or go off-road, Consumer Guide generally recommends car-type SUVs.
Consider Safety
Regardless of which midsize SUV you choose, be sure it has antilock brakes and curtain side airbags. They are two very important safety features that might save your life. According to a 2003 study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, curtain side airbags account for a 45 percent reduction in risk of death in side collisions. Usually, curtain side airbags and antilock brakes add less than $1000 to a vehicle's bottom line.
Another important safety feature available for most midsize SUVs is stability control, also known as an antiskid system. This system helps the driver maintain the intended path on slippery roads. It is especially important on heavy midsize SUVs where the grip of a 4WD or AWD system might have drivers going too fast through turns.
Some antiskid systems also have rollover sensors. Systems equipped as such use these sensors to detect an impending tip, and activate the antiskid system to prevent a rollover. On truck-type SUVs especially, which are more prone to tipping, rollover sensors are a worthwhile safety feature.

Another good safety innovation is park assist. When the vehicle is in reverse, sensors embedded in the rear bumper detect an object behind the vehicle and alert the driver through audible tones. The high ride height of midsize SUVs can prevent drivers from seeing behind them when backing up, so rear park assist makes sense and could be a lifesaver.
Buy Smart
While many buyers prefer the image of an SUV to that of a minivan, midsize SUVs are poor substitutes for more practical minivans. The tall ride height of an SUV presents a fun, jungle gym-like challenge for children, but it can make for painful falls and extra effort for parents who have to lift tired children into high-positioned seats. The rear doors also aren't as convenient as the sliding doors of a minivan.
In these days of high gas prices, larger, more-powerful SUVs cost considerably more to run. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a 6.0-liter V8-powered 4WD Chevy TrailBlazer will cost you $2401 per year in fuel, while a front-wheel drive Ford Freestyle will cost $1436. What could you do with an extra $1000 per year? There are varying degrees of cost savings between these extremes, but the point is this: Don't buy what you don't need unless you're willing to pay for it.
Finally, consider if you really need an SUV. If you don't plan to tow or go off-road, a regular station wagon would be more convenient and cheaper to run. If you're only going to drive on the road and you still want an SUV, we suggest shopping for any of the car-type SUVs that made the Consumer Guide Best Buy or Recommended vehicle list. Though they were introduced in the middle of the model year, the new GMC Acadia, Mazda CX-9, and Saturn Outlook are worthy of consideration, especially if you need an SUV with seven-passenger capability.

Buick Rendezvous Base Price Range: $25,190-$28,765 EPA MPG Range: 19-26 Body Style: Four-door wagon Buick pitches Rendezvous as a lower-priced alternative to premium SUVs such as the Acura MDX and Lexus RX. Rendezvous falls well short of the polished moves and high-end ambience of those premium SUVs, and it comes only with front-wheel drive for 2007. Note that Buick says this will be the final model year for Rendezvous. |
|
Chevrolet Equinox
Base Price Range: $22,180-$24,470 EPA MPG Range: 19-26 Body Style: Four-door wagon We have not yet tested a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. |
|
Chevrolet TrailBlazer Base Price Range: $24,835-$33,420 EPA MPG Range: 14-22 Body Style: Four-door wagon TrailBlazers are the most affordable of GM's midsize truck-type SUVs and match most rivals for pace and space. Overall, however, we prefer the GMC Envoy among this GM family as the best blend of performance, interior design, and dollar value. |
|
Chrysler Pacifica Base Price Range: $24,160-$35,525 EPA MPG Range: 16-25 Body Style: Four-door wagon Pacifica feels smaller inside than its generous exterior dimensions suggest. And it drives like a heavy minivan--which is better than driving like a heavy SUV. In the end, it successfully mixes traditional vehicle types to create a versatile wagon with some upscale appeal. |
|
Dodge Durango Base Price Range: $26,280-$35,925 EPA MPG Range: 13-21 Body Style: Four-door wagon Durango matches some large SUVs for space and towing capacity. Unfortunately, it matches them for poor fuel economy, too. Still, avoid the underpowered V6 in favor of a V8, preferably the 5.7-liter Hemi. |
|
Dodge Nitro Base Price Range: $19,225-$24,145 EPA MPG Range: 17-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon Though small for a midsize SUV, Nitro's boxy design provides acceptable space for four adults and an impressive amount of cargo. And the relatively tidy exterior dimensions take the hassle out of negotiating traffic and tight quarters. But Nitro works best as a style statement, trailing SUVs such as the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander for power, drivetrain refinement, and rear-seat accommodations. |
|
Ford Edge Base Price Range: $25,320-$28,965 EPA MPG Range: 17-25 Body Style: Four-door wagon Ford has a lot riding on the success of its newest SUV, and Edge impresses for its responsive powertrain, carlike ride, and generous passenger and cargo room. Base prices are competitive but quickly escalate with options. Give Edge a look, but favor an SE model or a judiciously equipped SEL for best dollar value. |
|
Ford Explorer Base Price Range: $25,300-$34,895 EPA MPG Range: 14-21 Body Style: Four-door wagon Explorer and its Mercury Mountaineer sibling are highly competent overall performers with an outstanding array of available features. These include V8 power, seven-passenger seating, and a power folding 3rd-row seat. Their truck-type chassis serves trailering needs without giving up much refinement to lighter-duty midsize SUVs with car-type construction. Mountaineer provides nothing of consequence over similarly equipped Explorers, making the Ford version our Recommended pick for its broader range of model choices. |
|
Ford Freestyle Base Price Range: $25,865-$31,000 EPA MPG Range: 19-27 Body Style: Four-door wagon This Recommended choice excels as a family wagon. It relegates off-roading and serious towing to truck-type SUVs, providing instead utility, space, and comfort that match any rival--and some minivans. More power would be welcome, particularly when loaded with people and luggage. But ride and handling are agreeable, as are prices. |
|
GMC Acadia Base Price Range: $29,255-$35,225 EPA MPG Range: 17-26 Body Style: Four-door wagon Acadia is tailor-made for buyers who need a minivan but don't want to drive one. It is dynamically capable, comes standard with a host of safety features, and offers several unusual and useful options. Though we consider it a midsize, those shopping large SUVs might find it a sensible alternative. |
|
GMC Envoy Base Price Range: $26,560-$36,990 EPA MPG Range: 15-22 Body Style: Four-door wagon We judge Envoy the best choice among GM-built midsize truck-type SUVs. It has a pleasing enough interior and a good ride/handling mix with the optional rear air suspension. Truck-tough engineering is a plus for towing. Still, car-type SUVs remain more sensible for most everyday users. Isuzu Ascender shares the virtues of comparably outfitted Envoys, but suffers from a thinner dealer network and lower resale value. |
|
Honda Pilot Base Price Range: $27,095-$35,445 EPA MPG Range: 17-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon Pilot is the Honda Accord of midsize SUVs--pleasant, practical, and family friendly. There's no question about this wagon's laudable balance of utility and comfort, refinement, and power. Toss in Honda's strong reputation for reliability and resale value, and Pilot is a bona fide Best Buy. |
|
Hummer H3 Base Price: $29,405 EPA MPG Range: 15-20 Body Style: Four-door wagon Hummer's smallest offering is also its most sensible SUV, but that's not high praise. H3 combines comfortable accommodations and decent on-pavement dynamics with off-road proficiency. But a host of like-priced rivals are quieter and offer 6- or 8-cyl engines, all while matching H3's assets. |
|
Hyundai Santa Fe Base Price Range: $20,945-$27,945 EPA MPG Range: 19-26 Body Style: Four-door wagon Santa Fe offers impressive room, build quality, and standard safety features, plus prices that match or beat many competitors'. Hyundai's generous warranty is another value plus. Santa Fe needs more zip and a better ride/handling balance, but most people should find this a satisfying choice, especially since Hyundai's scores in surveys of vehicle quality and customer satisfaction are climbing. |
|
Isuzu Ascender Base Price Range: $25,959-$27,959 EPA MPG Range: 15-22 Body Style: Four-door wagon Though Ascender matches most truck-type rivals for pace and space, Isuzu's longer warranty doesn't fully offset a sparse dealer network and the lower resale values associated with this brand. Ascender intenders would be better off with a Chevy TrailBlazer or GMC Envoy, as their pricing and equipment are much the same. |
|
Jeep Commander Base Price Range: $27,915-$43,975 EPA MPG Range: 14-20 Body Style: Four-door wagon With its square-rigged styling and seating for seven, Commander gives Jeep buyers an alternative to the sportier Grand Cherokee, even if the two are similar under the skin. These Jeeps have a decent balance of comfort and utility, but they can get pricey with options. Commanders can approach $45,000, putting them in league with some premium midsize SUVs that are more refined, get better fuel economy, and are likely to have higher resale values. |
|
Jeep Grand Cherokee Base Price Range: $27,665-$43,015 EPA MPG Range: 12-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon Rear-seat room and comfort may disappoint, and fuel economy is poor on models we tested. But Grand Cherokee is solid, rides comfortably, has fine ergonomics, and is tenacious off-road. It's also competitively priced. The V6 is too weak for this vehicle's weight, but not the workhorse 4.7 V8 or muscular 5.7 Hemi. And the SRT8 is a hot rod wagon. |
|
Kia Sorento Base Price Range: $19,995-$26,195 EPA MPG Range: 17-23 Body Style: Four-door wagon Sorento is priced like a compact SUV yet acts like a midsize, and impresses for interior decor and features per dollar. Sadly, the ride grows rough on bumpy roads and handling is subpar, even in this class. Resale values haven't matched those of top Japanese rivals, but those rivals can't match Kia's generous warranty. |
|
Mazda CX-7 Base Price Range: $23,750-$28,000 EPA MPG Range: 18-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon CX-7 emphasizes sport over utility and ride comfort to stand out in a crowded market segment. Its turbo 4-cyl engine is neither as fuel-efficient as one might expect nor as smoothly powerful as it ought to be. But there's appeal here for those who need something roomier than a midsize car and want fresh-looking SUV styling. In all, CX-7 has enough of the right stuff to earn our Recommended ribbon. |
|
Mazda CX-9 Base Price Range: $29,035-$33,875 EPA MPG Range: 16-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon CX-9 is a stylish, refined entry that adeptly balances solid driving dynamics with generous passenger and cargo room. Count among its demerits a lack of highway passing punch and costly option packages that can quickly inflate sticker prices. Still, this Mazda is a good choice in an increasingly crowded field of seven-seat midsize SUVs. |
|
Mercury Mountaineer Base Price Range: $27,300-$33,840 EPA MPG Range: 14-21 Body Style: Four-door wagon It suffers some ergonomic lapses, and interior materials are unimpressive. But Mercury Mountaineer is overall a highly competent SUV with an outstanding array of useful features. These include standard curtain side airbags and antiskid system, plus available V8 power and a power-folding 3rd-row seat. Its truck-type chassis serves trailering needs without giving up much refinement to lighter-duty midsize SUVs with car-type construction. However, there's nothing of consequence Mountaineer provides over similarly equipped Explorers, making the lower-priced Ford version our Recommended pick. |
|
Mitsubishi Endeavor Base Price Range: $26,999-$28,999 EPA MPG Range: 17-23 Body Style: Four-door wagon Endeavor's strengths are its pleasant driving manners and roomy interior. It's also discounted more than such rivals as the Honda Pilot, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Highlander. That recognizes the stronger overall appeal of those competitors, but also reflects Mitsubishi's troubled image, lower-rung customer-satisfaction scores, and mediocre resale values. Note also that Mitsubishi's own redesigned 2007 Outlander rivals Endeavor for size and power at a potentially lower cost. |
|
Nissan Murano Base Price Range: $27,750-$31,850 EPA MPG Range: 19-25 Body Style: Four-door wagon Murano earns its Recommended credentials for its secure handling, good utility, and strong, efficient V6 powertrain. Competitive pricing rounds out this midsize SUV's assets. |
|
Nissan Pathfinder Base Price Range: $25,600-$36,000 EPA MPG Range: 15-23 Body Style: Four-door wagon For everyday driving ease and fuel economy, this truck-type SUV trails such car-type rivals as the Honda Pilot and Nissan's own Murano. And only the top-line LE version offers the convenience of 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement. However, Pathfinder does possess a solid array of true-SUV attributes, including real off-road prowess and 6000-lb trailering capacity. |
|
Nissan Xterra Base Price Range: $20,050-$27,950 EPA MPG Range: 16-22 Body Style: Four-door wagon Xterra is slightly smaller than most in the midzise-SUV class, hence the somewhat tight interior space. Its off-road orientation accounts for subpar ride comfort, and its backwoods-ready avoidance of luxury touches makes it seem relatively unrefined. Indeed, its main appeal is that rugged demeanor, cargo versatility, and youthful attitude. |
|
Pontiac Torrent
Base Price Range: $22,385-$23,895 EPA MPG Range: 18-25 Body Style: Four-door wagon We have not yet tested a 2007 Pontiac Torrent. |
|
Saturn Outlook Base Price Range: $27,255-$31,555 EPA MPG Range: 17-26 Body Style: Four-door wagon Outlook's primary assets are its near large-class SUV cargo and passenger accommodations, refined, responsive drivetrain, and car-like driving experience. Aggressive pricing adds to its appeal. On the downside, Outlook is nearly as long as a genuine full-size SUV, limiting parking options and complicating maneuverability. |
|
Subaru B9 Tribeca Base Price Range: $29,995-$33,495 EPA MPG Range: 18-23 Body Style: Four-door wagon Subaru's SUV delivers fine handling, versatile interior accommodations, and a generous list of standard equipment. However, acceleration is lackluster, and while Tribeca pricing is competitive with similarly equipped midsize SUVs, there are more-compelling alternatives. |
|
Suzuki XL7 Base Price Range: $22,899-$29,549 EPA MPG Range: 17-24 Body Style: Four-door wagon This redesign improves on the trucky previous-generation XL7, but still trails the competition for value and overall refinement. XL7 shines only for acceleration and transmission performance, but for ride, handling, and quietness falls far short of class leaders such as the Honda Pilot and Saturn Outlook. |
|
Toyota 4Runner Base Price Range: $27,635-$38,385 EPA MPG Range: 15-21 Body Style: Four-door wagon Some rivals offer a smoother ride and sharper on-road handling, but 4Runner is tough to beat for refinement, off-road ability, and overall execution. Toyota charges premium prices for this SUV, but in exchange it delivers a satisfying array of available safety features, traction enhancers, and a reputation for reliability and high resale value. |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Base Price Range: $21,910-$23,500 EPA MPG Range: 16-22 Body Style: 4-door wagon The FJ pays a price for its exaggerated styling and off-road-biased engineering: On-road performance and daily practicality don't match those of less-radical rivals. However, it is solidly built and looks like no other SUV. |
|
Toyota Highlander Base Price Range: $24,80-$36,550 EPA MPG Range: 18-28 Body Style: Four-door wagon Any Highlander earns our Recommended label as a family focused SUV offering great practicality and solid quality. Versions with the conventional V6 engine best represent Highlander's attributes. The 4-cyl models are a little slow and noisy. Hybrids are the costliest versions, and their price premium may take years to offset in fuel savings. But they also are the quickest Highlanders, and their value calculation takes into account exhaust-emissions benefits. |
