The Honda CR-V has come out on top in a recent survey of the most reliable SUVs.
The high-riding SUV body style has grown in popularity over recent years with many buyers switching away from traditional hatchbacks and estate cars in favour of vehicles which take on more of a four-wheel-drive look and feel.
The Warrantywise Reliability Index data – which was used to collate the report – ranked vehicles based on their repair request frequency, average vehicle age at the time of a fault, average mileage and average labour time over a period between August 1, 2021, and the same date in 2024.
Antony Diggins, managing director of Warrantywise, said: “As children up and down the country return to school, we see added pressure on family vehicles, meaning having a trusted family wagon is more important than ever.
Other cars on the list included the Kia Sportage, which came fourth, and the Nissan Juke, which placed seventh. The list was completed by the BMX X3 and Hyundai Tucson, which both scored 71 out of 100.
