7 Used SUVs That Continue to Earn Strong Buyer Confidence

Demand for used SUVs remains strong across the United States. While preferences vary somewhat by region, several models consistently attract shoppers thanks to their proven reliability, comfort, and resale value.

1. BMW X5

The BMW X5 has been a benchmark luxury midsize SUV since its debut in the late 1990s. It offers available all-wheel drive, a comfortable ride, and a premium interior, making it equally suited for commuting and long-distance travel.

Built for the American market at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant, the X5 has become one of BMW's best-selling vehicles in the United States.

2. Nissan Rogue

Instead of the X-Trail sold in many global markets, American buyers received the closely related Nissan Rogue. The compact SUV has earned a reputation for practicality, a comfortable cabin, and everyday usability, helping it remain one of Nissan's most popular vehicles.

The Rogue has regularly ranked among America's best-selling compact SUVs and is a common choice for families seeking affordable transportation.

3. Nissan Rogue Sport

The Nissan Qashqai was sold in the United States as the Nissan Rogue Sport. Slightly smaller than the standard Rogue, it appeals to buyers looking for a compact crossover that's easy to maneuver while still offering useful cargo space.

Introduced for the 2017 model year, the Rogue Sport helped Nissan expand its SUV lineup during America's crossover boom.

4. Mercedes-Benz M-Class (ML-Class)

The Mercedes-Benz M-Class, originally known as the ML-Class, helped define the modern luxury SUV segment. It combines premium comfort with available four-wheel drive and solid road manners.

The M-Class was developed primarily for North America and has been built in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, since the late 1990s.

5. Volkswagen Tiguan

The Volkswagen Tiguan remains a popular compact SUV on the used market thanks to its refined driving dynamics, spacious cabin, and available all-wheel drive. It continues to attract buyers looking for European styling at a competitive price.

Long-wheelbase versions sold in the United States offer a roomier rear seat than many global-market Tiguans, making them especially family-friendly.

6. Volkswagen Touareg

The Volkswagen Touareg offers premium features, strong available V6 power, and impressive highway comfort. Although it is no longer sold new in the United States, it remains a desirable used luxury SUV.

The Touareg shares its underlying platform with several high-end SUVs, including the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7, contributing to its refined driving experience.

7. Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 has built a loyal following with its spacious interior, upscale cabin, and industry-leading safety reputation. Even older models continue to appeal to buyers looking for a premium three-row SUV.

The XC90 has consistently earned high safety ratings in America and helped establish Volvo as one of the industry's leaders in occupant protection.
