Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Following are eight of the top-value picks for small, mid, and full-size SUVs.

One way to measure the value of a vehicle is the average amount of time owners choose to hold onto it. The Toyota Highlander makes its mark with an impressive 15-plus year hold rate. The Highlander has always had solid reliability ratings and is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a vehicle that will hold up for the long-term.
Kia Sorento
The Kia Sorento was updated in 2016, so if you’re looking for a newer model pre-owned vehicle, this is a great bet. It features a ton of passenger and cargo space and plenty of modern technology. You can choose from either a two- or three-row model, making this vehicle appealing to a variety of buyers. It also has excellent safety ratings and offers an extremely comfortable ride.
