You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but many drivers base their purchases on what the exterior of the ride looks like. After all, it can be a status symbol as you drive around.
At the same time, you’re going to spend a lot of time inside your vehicle. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure the interior is impressive and comfortable, as well. Here’s a look at five SUVs that offer impressive interior designs without breaking the bank.
2025 Mazda CX-50
- Base price: $31,720 (KBB)
Here’s a cabin you may have to see to believe. Reviewers from Road and Track said the cabin in the CX-50 gives you an experience that punches way above its price class. It comes with quality material and driver-friendly buttons.
2025 Hyundai Santa Fe
- Base price: $35,775 (KBB)
You might be able to score the feeling of luxury without paying the high price. The new Hyundai Santa Fe, while known for the boxy outside, has an impressive interior. The inside looks fancy and techy, along with providing a good amount of storage space.
2025 Nissan Ariya
- Base price: $41,160 (KBB)
Despite mixed reviews of the 2025 Ariya — some reviewers were not overly impressed with the driving performance — it’s hard to knock this Nissan model for the interior. It has that mix of cool and airy. The haptic climate-control buttons with the wood trim only add to its impressive look.
2025 Honda CR-V
- Base price: $31,495 (KBB)
If you’re looking for the best interior for the money, U.S. News & World Report liked the Honda CR-V. It’s not fancy, but does the trick. The design leaves ample space for passenger comfort, and you may also like the 9-inch touch screen console.
2025 Kia Sportage
- Base price: $28,785
This is another chance to enjoy the look of luxury at an affordable price. That’s what you can expect with the interior of the Kia Sportage. It offers comfort beyond what you’d probably expect for the price, and the touch screens look sharp while offering responsive experiences.
