Best Used Luxury SUVs From 2024
Beating the high prices of new luxury SUVs by purchasing slightly used is a great piece of advice, but it’s only half the hack. Shoppers also need to know how to navigate an equally confusing and intimidating used-car market. Fret not: We can point you in the right direction. Our roundup of the best used luxury SUVs includes small and midsize models, even a three-row. Keep reading to see which premium crossovers made our collection.
About MotorTrend’s methodology: We consider many of the same factors in our new-car rankings system, starting with value. The experts at IntelliChoice conduct extensive research to assess long-term value on 3-5-year-old vehicles, which means our picks start at the 2020 model year. IntelliChoice considers resale value, the cost of insurance, maintenance costs, fuel costs, and more. We prioritize models receiving a Good or Excellent IntelliChoice used-car value rating. An above average J.D. Power quality and reliability rating is also a plus. Any vehicle we recommend must have earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick award or NHTSA overall five-star safety rating, and have some used-car inventory with under 80,000 miles (the upper limit on many automaker CPO programs).
2022 Acura RDX – Compact SUV
Pros: A cushy, refined ride is the RDX‘s default, but it can be sporty and fun when you want it to be. The interior is spacious, too. Starting with the 2022 model, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every trim.
Cons: The central infotainment display is not a touchscreen, instead employing a frustrating center console-based touchpad. We also encountered occasional shifting hiccups from the RDX’s 10-speed automatic. The baby ute has some sizable blind spots, but blind-spot monitoring is standard starting with the 2022 model.
