Mid-size crossovers remain among the most sought-after segments thanks to their versatility and everyday ease of use. Consumer Reports has released a fresh ranking of the top models, weighing reliability, safety, and driving impressions.Among mainstream two-row SUVs, the Toyota Crown Signia and Subaru Outback share the top spot. Toyota stands out with its stylish design and comfort, while Subaru leads the way in off-road capability. At the same time, the Crown Signia posted 10% higher reliability, which proved a decisive factor for many shoppers. In this class, that kind of margin often matters more than trim differences.In the three-row mainstream category, the leaders are the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. The Highlander scored higher for reliability but trailed its rival in road tests. It’s a reminder that families weigh on-road behavior and peace of mind differently, depending on their priorities.Among premium two-row models, the Lexus RX Hybrid came out on top. It outperformed the BMW X5 by 10% in reliability and earned high marks for build quality and ease of use. The RX once again plays to its strengths: quiet, straightforward ownership without unnecessary fuss.In the premium three-row SUV segment, the Lexus GX and LX led on reliability, although their overall road-test scores were lower than the category’s front-runners, as Tarantas News notes. That result suits their character—emphasizing staying power over on-road polish.In the end, Toyota, Subaru, and Lexus reinforced their standing as the most dependable SUV manufacturers, offering a well-judged mix of safety, quality, and comfort. For buyers planning to keep a vehicle longer, that balance is hard to ignore.
