6 Most Dependable SUVs
April 2, 2015
As with any relationship -- including the one you have with your vehicle -- dependability is important. After all, if you can't trust that your vehicle can safely get you from point A to point B without breaking down or having major issues, that's a problem. That's why when it comes time to purchase a car, savvy consumers do their homework to check out vehicle dependability ratings before buying.
Bankrate.com recently put together a list of the six most dependable SUVs based on research conducted by J.D. Power and Associates' annual US Vehicle Dependability Study. These top trustworthy SUVs include the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class, GMC Yukon, and Nissan Murano. Below is the full list.
If you're considering any of these dependable SUVs for your garage, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle, RydeShopper and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices in your local area.
| Vehicle | Category | Overall Quality Rating (out of 5) | Overall Performance & Design Rating (out of 5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GMC Terrain | Compact SUV | 3 | 4 |
| GMC Yukon | Large SUV | 5 | 3 |
| Kia Sportage | Small SUV | 4 | 4 |
| Lexus GX 460 | Midsize Premium SUV | 3 | 3 |
| Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class | Compact Premium SUV | 3 | 2 |
| Nissan Murano | Midsize SUV | 5 | 3 |
My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, RydeShopper, and CarsDirect are the best way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
