SUVs have become one of the most popular automotive segments in America, with 3 million units sold just last year. And if you're among the many who are looking for a new SUV that is sturdy but also comfortable and great for the family, there are currently endless options to choose from. But which one is truly worth your money?

There are few considerations to make before choosing the right SUV, such as price, gas fuel consumption, and last but not least engine power. Based on that criteria, we have selected this year's best mid-size SUVs that you can find on the market.

All the SUVs on this list boast great off-roading abilities but also mix in a bit of luxury and comfort that are required for everyday life.

10 Jeep Wrangler

The fourth edition of the Wrangler continues the monumental success of the sturdy SUV built by Jeep. It currently offers two options: a 197 horsepower diesel engine and a 286-horsepower petrol one. The car offers a limited 22-29 miles per gallon range on the highway but is virtually unstoppable once off the tarmac.

Indeed, the off-road qualities of these SUVs are undeniable, however it is a bit of an extreme choice as it might lack that everyday comfort needed. It has a starting price of around $29,000 but customers should be aware that this is more of an extreme 4x4 than an everyday SUV.

9 Ford Explorer

The Explorer is in this top-10 as it has been completely redesigned from the 2019 version and has seen a massive improvement over the previous generations. This car is powered by a hybrid transmission that is composed of a 44-horsepower electric engine and a 355 horsepower V6.

The Explorer is one of the most powerful SUVs of the class. It also offers even faster versions, but the price will drastically increase. The Ford is quite expensive as the lower trim starts from $37,000 and the most expensive one is almost $60,000. The car also lacks a roomier third seat row and the infotainment system is far from being perfect.

8 Dodge Durango

Dodge knows how to create fast cars and the Durango is no exception as the car comes with a V6 that produces 295 horsepower. Dodge also offers a V8 option which produces 360 horsepower. The Durango towing capabilities are among the very best in its class. Also, the car has received praise for its attention to details and the overall ergonomic of the car.

However, other SUVs offer more space for the back passengers' rows. Also, the V6 has an "okay" 29 mpg average fuel consumption, however, if you chose the V8, the Durango will be extremely thirsty. Still, with the base model starting from $33,000 and considering all the power and "cool-factor" you're getting, it's right up there with the best.

7 Volkswagen Atlas

This could possibly be one of the best choices for large families as it offers a lot of space for passengers and cargo. It is a great car that comes at a reasonable price as it starts from $33,000. The car has an outstanding road-holding ability and has the perfect family-friendly interior space.

However, the car has a couple of issues, starting from the fact that its real-world fuel economy is far from being great (20 mpg). The Atlas interiors are also very spartan as the car was probably meant to be more durable than conveying a sense of luxury and comfort. Finally, its performance is far from stellar for the price, with engines ranging from 236 to 276 horsepower.

Still, its luxury component, an abundance of standard safety features, and sheer space and practicality make it a great SUV to buy new.

6 Chevrolet Traverse

The Traverse is an excellent SUV as it offers a lot of interior space with great performance. The Chevy is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 310 horsepower. The passenger rows have a lot of room which makes this car another excellent choice for big families.

One of the downfalls of this car is that there are a lot of interesting options that are extra and will quickly add up and could make this car far pricier than it should be. It has a starting price of $29,800. Although the car is very roomy, its great handling makes it feel smaller than it is. Also, this car is among the safest models in this category.

5 Toyota Highlander

The Highlander offers great gas miles consumption everywhere, even in the city. The car has a very responsive engine that offers a considerable amount of power as it is a V6 that produces 295 horsepower. What truly sets this car apart from the rest of the other SUV is its safety features.

The Toyota is equipped with a safety system that shows collision alerts and pedestrians and cyclist detection. Additionally, it has rear cross-traffic alert and lane trace assist. The only (minor) issue with the highlander is that the third row is only meant for kids due to the very restricted space.

4 Jaguar F-Pace

Very few cars will offer the level of comfort that the F-pace has. The car after all is a Jaguar which means that it will be very stylish and powerful. The diesel options of the F-pace are quite powerful and also offer outstanding gas mileage consumptions as they average between 39 mpg and 42 mpg on the highway.

Jaguar has designed the interior of the car to make the driver feel like in a sports car. This car is probably one of the most beautiful SUVs currently on the market.

3 Alfa Romeo Stelvio

Alfa Romeo knows how to make beautiful cars and the Stelvio is a gorgeous SUV. There are few options of engines available ranging from the smaller 2.2-liter 190 horsepower diesel to the very powerful V6 Quadrifoglio that produces 510 horsepower. The most important improvement from the 2019 version is that, finally, the interiors have seen a massive change as there is a new sense of quality.

The Stelvio is very quick but also very comfortable and spacious for the family. It is the perfect vehicle for someone that has to find a compromise between the power of a sports car and the space offered by a minivan.

2 Hyundai Santa Fe

The Santa Fe is one of the best all-around SUVs that you can currently find on the market. The car is very reliable and it will last you a lifetime without ever encountering any mechanical problem. Also the car is very easy to drive as you will not feel its true dimensions.

The car offers a lot of space even in the third seat row. The car also offers great gas mileage consumption ranging from 41mpg to 47 mpg. The Santa Fe has been for years one of the best choices for an SUV also thanks to its price as it starts at $26,000, which makes it an amazing deal.

1 Kia Telluride

You'll hardly find a better SUV on the market. The car is relatively inexpensive as it has a starting price of $31,000 but it offers stellar comfort and a great engine. It's powered by a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 291 horsepower and offers decent mileage consumption at 29 mpg on the highway.

The car is very spacious in all three rows of passengers and it truly offers outstanding comfort. Also, the car has an attractive design as it is very bulky but always stylish. The materials and build quality of the interiors are excellent. The crazy thing is that the 2021 version of the Telluride is expected to be even better.
