SUVs are taking over the auto market.

In 2017, around 40% of the 17.2 million cars and trucks sold in the US were SUVs and crossovers, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Automakers have spent recent years adjusting their lineups to meet the shift away from sedans. General Motors and Fiat-Chrysler have decreased sedan production in recent years and, in April, Ford said it would move to eliminate nearly every vehicle in its lineup that isn’t an SUV, crossover, or truck. 

“Given declining consumer demand and product profitability, the company will not invest in next generations of traditional Ford sedans for North America,” the company said in a statement.

On Wednesday, the car-shopping website Autotrader released a list of the 10 SUVs that have received the most search traffic on its site.

“Utility tops the must-have list for today’s car shopper, which is why SUV sales continue to set records among buyers,” Autotrader executive editor Brian Moody said in a statement.

American brands make up a majority of the list, as six out of the 10 entries are made by Ford, GM, or Fiat-Chrysler. The other four vehicles are made by Toyota or Honda.

Some of the vehicles on the list are among the best SUVs Business Insider has tested in recent years, including the Jeep Wrangler, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Honda CR-V.

These are the 10 most-searched SUVs on Autotrader.

]]> https://briefnews.eu/the-price-is-right-gm-axes-cost-of-numerous-suvs/feed/ 0 Small 3-row crossover SUVs specifications compared on paper https://briefnews.eu/small-3-row-crossover-suvs-specifications-compared-on-paper/ https://briefnews.eu/small-3-row-crossover-suvs-specifications-compared-on-paper/#respond Thu, 10 May 2018 20:54:25 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/small-3-row-crossover-suvs-specifications-compared-on-paper/ There’s no shortage of three-row vehicles on the market for carrying seven or more people and their stuff wherever they all need to go. Just about every car company has at least one large crossover or traditional SUV with three rows of seats, and there are still plenty of minivans to pick from. But most of these vehicles are large, pricey, and frequently thirsty. Fortunately, there are still a handful of smaller crossovers that deliver 7-passenger capability in a smaller, cheaper package.

We’ve gathered four of the small three-row set here to compare them based on space, power, fuel economy, pricing, and more. They include the very old Dodge Journey, the slightly less old Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sorento, and the relatively new Volkswagen Tiguan. You can see the raw numbers in the chart below, followed by a more detailed breakdown and some notes on how we like each of these vehicles. For in-depth opinions on the vehicles, be sure to check out our full reviews, and if you want to compare these with other vehicles, try out our comparison tools.

Comparison chart of small 3-row crossovers

Engines, transmissions and performance

Interestingly, three of the four crossovers here utilize similar engines for their four-cylinder offerings. The Dodge, Kia and Mitsubishi all feature naturally aspirated 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Only the Volkswagen Tiguan chooses turbocharging and a smaller 2.0-liter displacement. But because of its turbocharger, the Tiguan’s four-cylinder is easily the most potent, making a healthy 221 pound-feet of torque, which is more than 40 more than the Sorento, the crossover with the next most torque. The VW is also second-most powerful, just one horse behind the Sorento. The Outlander is the least powerful in the four-cylinder class. The Journey is only barely better, but it will probably feel as slow or worse thanks to its ancient 4-speed automatic. The four-cylinder Sorento and Outlander each have 6-speed automatic transmissions, and the VW has an 8-speed. The Sorento with a V6 has an 8-speed, too.

Moving up to the V6 class, the Outlander is once again at the bottom. It actually makes less torque than the turbo VW Tiguan. The Journey and Sorento are almost perfectly matched. The Journey makes a bit more torque; the Sorento makes a bit more power. The Journey also gets upgraded to a 6-speed automatic.

Another powertrain consideration to bare in mind is whether all-wheel-drive is necessary. The four-cylinder Journey and the three-row Tiguan are only available with front-wheel drive. If you want all-wheel drive on the Journey, you have to get it with the V6, and on the Tiguan, you have to lose the third-row for a driven rear axle. All-wheel drive is available on both four- and six-cylinder Sorentos and Outlanders, and it’s standard on the V6 Outlander.

Although the Outlander is the least powerful, it is the most fuel efficient. It has the highest combined fuel economy in every engine and drivetrain class, and it’s the only one that hits 30 mpg on the highway. Granted that model is the front-drive version. The Journey is the thirstiest in each group. Interestingly, the four cylinder is only more efficient than the V6 in the city and in combined driving. Its highway economy is the same as the front-drive V6, surely due in part to the additional gears that come with the V6.

Exterior and interior dimensions

Looking at the size of each of these crossovers, we can see one of the secrets to the Outlander’s fuel economy success: It’s by far the lightest of the four. It’s between 500 and 600 lighter than the Journey and Sorento, and the heaviest Outlander is a little over 100 pounds lighter than the three-row VW Tiguan. It’s also the shortest and most narrow of the group. The Journey is the longest, and the Sorento is the widest.

Also interesting is that the Outlander doesn’t pay much of a penalty for its smaller exterior dimensions. It has the second-best second- and third-row legroom and shoulder room. Headroom is a little more tight, though. The big price comes in less maximum cargo capacity. It has the least of the bunch, though space behind second- and third-row seats is on par with the rest.

The ultimate cargo hauler is the Sorento. It has the most leg and shoulder room in all rows, and is roughly tied with the Journey for headroom. The Sorento also has the most maximum cargo space and space behind the second row seats, as well as second most cargo space behind the third row. It gets an extra bonus in having the most towing capacity. All four-cylinder models can pull 2,000 pounds, which is 500 to 1,000 pounds more than the other four-cylinder models. The V6 with front drive can tow 3,500 pounds, which is only matched by the Outlander, and the V6 with all-wheel drive can tow a best of 5,000 pounds.

Pricing

These four crossovers are surprisingly close in price, with just $ 2,840 separating them in base prices. The cheapest is the Dodge Journey at barely over $ 24,000, and the Kia is the priciest at just under $ 27,000. Depending on engine and drivetrain, though, those rankings change a bit. The Mitsubishi is the cheapest way to get all-wheel-drive with three rows of seating with a price of $ 26,440. If you want a V6, the Journey once again becomes the cheapest at a price of $ 28,540. As an added bonus, that includes all-wheel-drive. It is possible to get the V6 with front drive, but it also requires selecting a trim higher than the base model, bringing the base price higher than that shown above. The Outlander has the highest base price for a V6 model, which also comes with all-wheel-drive. But you have to select the highest trim level to get the V6.

What we think

None of these crossovers are particular standouts in the driving department, and in some ways would be an argument for picking tall wagons over crossovers, but those don’t offer third-row seats. The Kia Sorento would be our pick of the four. It’s attractive, its V6 is highly responsive, it feels composed, and has a pleasant interior. The VW Tiguan would be a solid choice too. We found its engine to be on the sluggish side, but it has a very nice interior with a great infotainment system. Combining aspects of the two is the Journey. We’re fans of the potent and surprisingly nice-sounding Pentastar V6, but would recommend avoiding the four-cylinder and its ancient transmission. UConnect is very good, too, but the rest of this old crossover is very average. We would probably pick the Outlander last. We prefer its four-cylinder to the coarse old V6, and the handling is clumsy. The rest is just okay, though we found the PHEV version to be fairly pleasant.

The hot topic this past week was Ford’s revelation that it plans to jettison traditional passenger cars — Fiesta, Focus, Fusion and Taurus — in the U.S. to concentrate on bread-and-butter trucks and crossover/SUVs. Every post we’ve had on the topic has generated a ton of comments from readers, most of whom seem to think it’s a bad idea. If you’ve got an opinion, chime in below.

But before you criticize, here’s a piece of data out this month that might help you see Ford’s point of view: In the first three months of this year, light trucks and SUVs (and a smattering of vans) made up a whopping 87 percent of total U.S. vehicle sales. That’s right, just 13 percent of sales were passenger cars.

Vehicle trends change, and sure, this one could too someday, but for now the market’s tough for sedans. So Ford will sell trucks and crossovers/SUVs, and if a vehicle isn’t a truck or SUV, Ford may try hard to dress it up like one. Meanwhile, in the absence of smaller, frugal cars, Ford plans to make its trucks and SUVs — the vehicles people are actually buying — more fuel efficient.

That strategy sounded awfully familiar — we read it in another news story last week. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt got grilled on the Hill for five hours last week, in a congressional hearing ostensibly about EPA budget and business, but which delved into the many ethics investigations into Pruitt’s conduct. But between his explanations for all that, he did get a word in edgewise about his intention to derail the Obama administration’s goals for automaker fleet fuel efficiency in 2020-25. (Latest trial balloon is a freeze on the CAFE standards throughout that period):

“We ought to endeavor as a country to set standards for lower emissions on cars that people actually want to buy,” Pruitt said. “And what’s happened is we’ve created these arbitrary levels that has put a certain sector of cars in the marketplace that no one is purchasing, which means they stay on older vehicles and it defeats the purpose of the rule.”

Make the vehicles people are buying — trucks, SUVs — more efficient. Ignore the sector nobody is buying — fuel-efficient cars. Sounds exactly like Ford’s plan. And it’s a play that certainly has worked well for FCA, so well in fact that the automaker is close to retiring its debt.

Final word on Ford trucks: We reviewed the new F-150 Power Stroke diesel and F-150 4×4 XLT, and gave you tips for picking a rig for towing and hauling.

Another highlight of the week: Porsches. Our Senior Editor Alex Kierstein traveled to the Isle of Man to drive a family reunion of Porsche 911 RS cars, from the original through the current GT3 RS. And our contributor Jason Harper, meanwhile, joined Le Mans champion Mark Webber and flung a Weissach GT3 RS hard into the Nürburgring. Oh, and it was Luftgekühlt week — we showed you the coolest of the air-cooled.

Finally, two stories that proved grownups can still be 8-year-old boys inside: First, the Tesla owner who recklessly set Autopilot and then abandoned the driver’s seat. Second, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s personal potty car, proving that everybody poops, even dictators. That one has been our most-read story three days running, and though, yes, it does fascinate us all with its offbeat scatalogical weirdness, it’s also a story with a serious side: It shows just how threatened North Korea feels by the U.S. and the West, imposing secrecy even on Kim’s bowel movements. The coming weeks of nuclear negotiations are going to be interesting.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is the latest arrow in the Bowtie brand’s quiver to be unsheathed in Midnight trim. As with all of Chevy’s Midnight models, this Tahoe is fully blacked out. And, since it’s based on the Custom trim, which comes without a third row of seats, the Tahoe Midnight is a five-seater. Cargo space behind the second row is listed at 54 cubic feet, with a maximum of 112 cubes with all the seats folded flat.

In order to qualify for the Midnight name, the Tahoe Custom gets 18-inch painted black wheels fitted with an aggressive set of Goodyear Wrangler tires, a black grille, off-road assist steps, and black bowtie emblems. Besides those exterior modifications, the Midnight is just like any other Chevy Tahoe.

A 5.3-liter V8 engine spins out 355 horsepower and nets an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon on the highway. The max towing rating stands at 6,600 pounds. It will be offered in standard rear-wheel-drive guise, or with optional four-wheel drive. Want one? All you’ve got to do is show up at your nearest Chevrolet dealership this spring with $ 45,995 in hand. For those keeping track, that’s a thousand bucks more than the standard Tahoe Custom.
