These days, shopping for a new all-wheel drive (AWD) SUV can make for an overwhelming task. With so many new AWD SUVs to choose from, how do you pick the best new AWD SUV for satisfying all of your daily driving needs? The good news is that we have the inside track on the most reliable 2021 AWD SUVs recommended by Consumer Reports. Read on to find out which AWD SUVs are not only reliable but also recommended by the organization.
The most reliable AWD subcompact SUVs recommended by Consumer Reports
Say you’re shopping for a new subcompact SUV. If that’s the case, the 2021 Hyundai Kona is the most reliable subcompact SUV recommended by Consumer Reports. In fact, the organization gave this year’s model a five out of five reliability rating, which is nothing short of impressive. Not to mention, the 2021 Hyundai Kona is also available with all-wheel drive. As for how much Hyundai Kona AWD will cost you? You can expect to spend at least $22,450 on a Hyundai Kona AWD.
The 2021 Honda HR-V is also recommended by Consumer Reports. It earned a five out of five predicted reliability rating too. And when it comes to all-wheel drive? This year’s model is available with it. However, all-wheel drive does require an upgrade. Fortunately, that upgrade isn’t all that expensive and will only cost you roughly $1,500.
These compact SUVs have AWD and earned a Consumer Reports recommendation
There are plenty of reliable compact SUVs with all-wheel drive on the market too. Take, for example, the 2021 Kia Sportage. Not only is it recommended by Consumer Reports but the organization also gave it a five out of five predicted reliability rating. Upgrading to all-wheel drive costs approximately $1,500.
And if the 2021 Kia Sportage isn’t quite your style? The 2021 Mazda CX-5 is also recommended by Consumer Reports and earned a five out of five predicted reliability rating. Consumer Reports also gave this year’s model a higher overall score. In fact, while it gave the Sportage an 80 overall score, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 earned an 83 overall score.
The most reliable AWD midsize SUVs of 2021 shouldn’t surprise you
The 2021 Toyota Venza is another AWD SUV recommended by Consumer Reports. The organization also gave it a four out of five predicted reliability rating, which is just short of perfect. The AWD SUV also earned a four out of five predicted owner satisfaction rating. And, while that score isn’t exactly perfect, Consumer Reports’ data shows that 78% of current Venza owners would buy the AWD SUV again.
The 2021 Ford Edge, on the other hand, was given a three out of five predicted owner satisfaction rating. The good news is that Consumer Reports also gave it a four out of five predicted reliability rating, along with an 84 overall score in road tests. As for how much all-wheel drive costs? You can anticipate spending an additional $2,000 for an AWD Ford Edge.
The 2021 Kia Telluride is the most reliable three-row AWD SUV
There’s no beating around the bush here. If you’re in the market for a three-row SUV with all-wheel drive, the 2021 Kia Telluride is the most reliable three-row AWD SUV that’s also recommended by Consumer Reports.
As a matter of fact, the 2021 Kia Telluride earned significantly higher overall scores than many vehicles in its segment, including the 2021 Hyundai Palisade and the 2021 Toyota Highlander. While Consumer Reports gave both SUVs an 84 overall score, the Kia Telluride snagged a 96 overall score. There’s no denying that’s an impressive feat.
