11. Subaru Forester
Total Units Sold: 175,521
The Subaru Forester is new for 2025, with a subtly redesigned look and upgraded tech and features, including new premium options like DriverFocus distraction mitigation and a motion-activated power tailgate. Standard all-wheel drive and plenty of ground clearance are part of the mix, but you can increase off-road ability even further with the available Wilderness trim — although the Wilderness model is still based on the previous-generation 2024 Forester.

12. Subaru Outback
Total Units Sold: 168,771
Some might call it a wagon, but Subaru calls it an SUV, and with standard all-wheel drive, up to 9.5 inches of ground clearance (Wilderness model), and more than 75 cubic feet of cargo space, who are we to argue? Whatever you call it, the Outback is a comfortable, affordable choice with genuine off-road and bad-weather ability.

13. Kia Sportage
Total Units Sold: 161,917
Cutting-edge style and excellent technology help the Kia Sportage stand out in a profoundly competitive segment, as does its value pricing. Kia Drive Wise safety tech is standard, and taller rear-seat passengers will enjoy the 41.3 inches of legroom.

14. Honda HR-V
Total Units Sold: 151,468
The Honda HR-V looks much like a Honda CR-V or Passport that’s farther away, and that’s a great thing in terms of style and function. With a spacious interior despite the small footprint (including 55.1 cubic feet of storage), the HR-V exudes quality and is also loaded with safety equipment. It offers all-wheel drive and can be configured with leather upholstery and wireless smartphone integration for about $30,000.

15. Jeep Wrangler
Total Units Sold: 151,163
The Jeep Wrangler is an American icon and a legend on the trails for good reason — it’s one of the most capable off-road vehicles on the planet. It’s also available in Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid form, adding 22 miles of all-electric range to give some civility and off-road ability.
