SUVs continue to dominate U.S. auto sales in 2025, with gas-powered, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models showing no signs of slowing down.

Here are the top five models ranked from highest to lowest so far, with data and details on vehicles sold, starting MSRP (increasing with trim levels), key features and pros and cons.

Toyota RAV4

• Vehicles sold: 124,862
• Starting MSRP: $30,645 

Available as a standard powertrain, hybrid and plug-in hybrid, the Toyota RAV4 offers a spacious cabin, decent fuel economy and is loaded with standard and safety features. The downsides? It can sometimes be loud and isn’t as fun to drive as other SUV models.

Honda CR-V

• Vehicles Sold: 104,627
• Starting MSRP: $31,495 

A front-runner among compact SUVs, the Honda CR-V scores points for its advanced infotainment system, luxurious interior, spacious cargo area and fuel economy. Drawbacks include its CVT automatic transmission, which can sometimes be noisy and slow. The CRV comes in a standard and hybrid powertrain.

Tesla Model Y

• Vehicles sold: 93,900
• Starting MSRP: $44,990

The top electrical vehicle on the market, the Tesla Model Y’s fuel efficiency dominates other models, offering 134/ city and 117/ highway mpg. Other benefits include remarkable acceleration, a roomy cargo area, superior driving range and several standard features. Where the Model Y falls short is its complicated infotainment system, uncomfortable ride and quality of build.

Chevrolet Equinox

• Vehicles Sold: 82,296
• Starting MSRP: $29,995

You’re likely familiar with the Chevrolet Equinox, but now there’s a new all-electric version debuting in 2025 — the Equinox EV. The Equinox upgraded its interior and exterior styling this year. It has a roomy cabin, good fuel economy, excellent driving range and a graceful ride. Not to mention, the Equinox is among the lowest-priced electric SUVs. Its drawback is the vehicle’s slow acceleration.

Hyundai Tucson

• Vehicles Sold: 60,179
• Starting MSRP:  $30,155

Ranking number five on our list, the Hyundai Tucson, a sub-compact SUV, boasts a luxurious interior, abundant standard features and an enormous cabin, all at a low price point, and is available with a standard, hybrid or plug-hybrid powertrain. However, it misses the mark in engine performance.
