The numbers don’t lie.

And the numbers show that the Nissan Rogue is one of the top-selling vehicles in the country.


In terms of SUV sales, it is topped only by the Toyota RAV4, Tesla Model Y and Honda CR-V, and it has more impressive numbers than every other SUV available, with more than 270,000 sold in 2023.

Within Nissan’s lineup, it’s also by far the most popular option — doubling sales of the Altima.

The Rogue achieves this success by offering strong fuel mileage, an attractive look and a strong tech setup. It’s not trying to be the most exciting or sporty SUV, instead offering a solid, user-friendly overall package that will appeal to both families and individuals.

Upgrades have been made to the design and tech in the 2024 Nissan Rogue, including Google features now being built into its tech setup. I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the 2024 Rogue (a Platinum trim model), and I’m back with a full report.

Additional Info

  • Vehicle 2024 Nissan Rogue
  • Price as tested $45,145 (starts around $29K)
  • Best feature Sharp looks, user-friendly tech, strong fuel mileage

The luxury car world is one with a wide variety of competitors – some dealing in high volumes in the U.S. and others on the lower end.

One of the brands that doesn’t have a huge market share but still offers some compelling vehicles is Infiniti, the luxury division of Nissan that has been offered in the U.S. for more than 30 years.

On the smaller end of their SUV lineup, Infiniti offers a couple vehicles — the QX50 and the QX55 (QX50 being a more traditional compact SUV, and QX55 featuring a more sporty and coupe-style design). Part of their appeal is their pricing starts at less than some of their major luxury competitors — making them appealing to buyers with a budget.

I recently tested a 2024 Infiniti QX50, and I’m back with a full report on how it compares in today’s luxury car market.

Additional Info

  • Vehicle 2024 Infiniti QX50
  • Price as tested $61,610 (starts around $42K)  
  • Best feature Roomy interior, sharp design
  • Rating 3.5 out of five stars   
  • Who will want this vehicle? Luxury buyers seeking a roomy, well-designed compact SUV with character and a lower starting price

There’s no doubt that when listing the most iconic vehicles in modern history, the Range Rover — the most well-known offering in the Land Rover family of vehicles — is going to be a name that comes up consistently.

A vehicle unlike any other that is literally associated with royalty, this ultra-luxurious ride has an elegant and bold look, while also offering tremendous power and off-road capabilities and a family-friendly setup — a truly rare feat to achieve.

The number of top-shelf competitors in the Range Rover’s class is quite limited, including a Maybach SUV offering from Mercedes-Benz, the Bentley Bentayga, and if you stretch the category you can also include vehicles like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Lexus LX, Cadillac Escalade and BMW X7, which are nice options but not quite as upscale.

I recently tested a three-row Range Rover SE (long-wheel base version with room for 7 passengers), and I’m back with a full report.

Additional Info

  • Vehicle Range Rover
  • Price as tested $153,225 (starts around $110K)
  • Best feature Rare combination of raw power, off-road capability, and extreme upscale luxury
  • Rating 4.5 out of five stars    
  • Who will want this vehicle? Luxury buyers looking to splurge on a powerful, high-end large SUV

Outside of its flagship Range Rover offering, Land Rover’s most interesting vehicle may be the Land Rover Defender, which delivers a rugged, boxy look, an upscale interior, and a high-performing option to fans of getting off the beaten path.

With four decades of history, including a lengthy time frame when it was not sold in the U.S, the Defender is somewhat of a niche vehicle option today — but still has plenty to offer buyers in the off-roader segment.

WIth many off-roaders being rather pedestrian in terms of interior design, the Defender offers an opportunity to explore far-flung locales while remaining in a high-class setting.

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of a Land Rover Defender 110 SE, and I’m back with a full report on how it holds up vs. other top off-roaders.

Additional Info

  • Vehicle Land Rover Defender
  • Price as tested $89,740
  • Best feature Off-road chops combined with on-road prowess, sharp and luxurious design   
  • Rating 4 out of five stars   
  • Who will want this vehicle? SUV buyers seeking a tank-like off-roading machine that also features plenty of creature comforts

Subaru may not be the largest automaker, but they know what their customers like, and do it very well.

One vehicle that stands out in their lineup is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, including the brand new off-road friendly Wilderness trim level introduced for 2024.

Aimed at adventurers, the Crosstrek is quickly becoming a contender for the best-selling Subaru model in the U.S. I recently got the chance to test out a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness.

Read on to learn 5 key things you should know about this unique vehicle offering.
