Find The Right SUV

2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i

As a tech car, the 2010 Subaru Outback is average at best, lacking many modern amenities. All-wheel-drive is its saving grace, giving it good weather capabilities.

Specs: Wagon, Gas

2010 BMW X5 M

Technically stunning, the 2010 BMW X5 M works as track car and sport driver, but its bad fuel economy will make the daily commute costly. The cabin tech also offers a lot, but a few features fall short of the cutting edge.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2010 Lexus RX 450h

Lexus' new cabin tech suite helps the 2010 RX 450h keep on par with other car tech leaders, but the hybrid power train gives it a greater edge, delivering superior fuel economy and low emissions.

2010 Infiniti QX56

Although it has a few nice tech features, the 2010 Infiniti QX56 lags behind its Infiniti stablemates in both performance technology and cabin electronics.

2010 Acura RDX

A nice-handling little SUV with useful cabin tech features, the 2010 Acura RDX is plagued by an inefficient power train.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2010 Lexus RX 350

The new suite of cabin tech in the 2010 Lexus RX 350 catches this luxury SUV up with current car tech leaders, but the power train, while practical, doesn't take advantage of the latest efficiency technologies.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2010 Ford Flex SEL with EcoBoost

Optioned up right, the 2010 Ford Flex SEL with EcoBoost impresses as a tech cruiser, and can haul around plenty of people or cargo in unique style.

Specs: Wagon, Gas

2010 Honda Pilot Touring

The 2010 Honda Pilot provides room and entertainment for many passengers, but its cabin tech isn't of the highest caliber and innovative engine technologies don't deliver on their promise of increased fuel economy.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2010 Volvo XC60

If you can figure out the bizarre interface for the electronics in the 2010 Volvo XC60, it can be a pretty satisfying car to drive, but you will end up paying for it at the pump.

Specs: SUV, T6, Gas

2010 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited

A very drivable and capable-feeling car, the 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited's cabin tech options offer just the minimum of modern automotive convenience.

2009 Nissan Rogue SL FWD

The Rogue just barely manages to meet our performance expectations for a crossover SUV in its price range, and falls short when it comes to cabin tech.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2009 Land Rover LR2

A good camping or ski vehicle, buyers interested in the 2009 Land Rover LR2 might want to hold off for a model update, which should improve the cabin tech substantially.

Specs: SUV, Gas

2009 Kia Borrego

People in the market for a traditional SUV would do well to look at the 2009 Kia Borrego, as it undercuts the price of many competitors while still offering some modern cabin tech.

2009 Jeep Compass Sport 4x4

Specs: SUV, Sport, Gas

2009 BMW X5 xDrive35d

Specs: SUV, X5, Diesel

2009 Dodge Nitro R/T 4X4

The 2009 Dodge Nitro R/T 4X4 shovels a good cabin tech package into a vehicle that delivers mediocre performance and economy.

Specs: Truck, F-150, Gas

2009 Mitusbishi Outlander XLS

While the 2009 Mistubishi Outlander's tech package is still at the head of its class and it still gives great performance at a great price point, the rough ride and cheap interior hold it back from greatness.

Specs: SUV, XLS, Gas

2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid combines ostentatious luxury with an overt green theme, while offering seating for seven, cargo room, and fuel economy worthy of a V-6.

Specs: SUV, Hybrid

2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 4Matic

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 offers rock-solid performance in a very practical small SUV configuration, but cabin tech lacks really cutting-edge features.
