The top 5 midsize SUVs tested and ranked by Edmunds
The list highlights models with strong safety ratings, towing capacity and fuel economy, including one with 38 mpg combined, Edmunds said.
Edmunds identified the five best midsize two-row SUVs for 2026, offering a pleasing mix of space, utility and value for shoppers seeking roomier alternatives to small SUVs.
Redesigned for the 2026 model year, the Subaru Outback features a boxier, more versatile look and remains the only vehicle on the list with a starting price under $40,000.
Honda redesigned the Passport for 2026, emphasizing rugged utility and 5,000-pound standard towing capacity, while the Mazda CX-70 prioritizes on-road driving satisfaction with an upscale interior design.
Shoppers prioritizing fuel economy should choose the Toyota Crown Signia, which offers an EPA-estimated 38 mpg and trades rugged styling for a sophisticated, wagon-influenced appearance.
Jeep recently updated the Grand Cherokee with a standard turbocharged engine offering 6,200 pounds of towing, though Edmunds noted concerns regarding ride comfort and infotainment reliability in testing.
