Finding a reliable SUV when you don’t have the luxury of a lot of cash can be challenging. What makes it worse is that many of the ones that are better suited to towing lots of weight and hauling lots of people usually have very high miles on them if they are affordable. Regardless, we’ve got a few options that might be perfect if you’re looking for reliable used SUVs under $10,000.
2010-2015 Honda Accord Crosstour
Instead of the traditional station wagon body style, the Accord Crosstour has a big, fat, football-shaped rear end. A decade later, SUV coupes became increasingly popular. While this is a strange design choice, second-hand shoppers can make the most of this rare glitch by Honda.
2006 Honda CR-V
Cream of the crop, you might find it challenging to see this one old and with less than 100,000 miles on it. Yet when you do find that unicorn of a deal, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) history to ensure it’s clean and that you’re getting a good deal.
2006-2007 Toyota Highlander
The only hybrid to cut this list, the last couple of model years of the original Toyota Highlander were quickly the model’s best. This midsize crossover SUV boasts impressive crash-test ratings and came in various trim levels and is based on the classic Camry platform.
2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson
The Tucson is smaller inside than some of its competitors but incredibly hassle-free and reliable. Built to exceed the requirements of Hyundai’s industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
2009-2014 Nissan Murano
The styling of this one didn’t resonate with everyone. Yet, besides that, it is a competent five-passenger midsize crossover SUV. Great if you have a family, this reliable vehicle gives you plenty of cargo and passenger space.
2008-2013 Nissan Rogue
With agile driving dynamics and a European flair, the first-generation Rogue is the perfect Crossover SUV. The Rogue, a lot smaller and more affordable than the hulking Murano, offers prominent features in a little package.
2009-2015 Toyota Venza
Based on the Camry station wagon, the Toyota Venza features five-passenger seating, spacious interiors, exceptional dependability, and plenty of style, which is usually not a priority for a Toyota.
