July 5, 2018
SUVs are the hottest sellers right now, but they can be expensive
MotorTrend recently put together a list of the best-equipped SUVs for under $25,000. Some of these vehicles have advanced safety and tech features such as adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and heated seats - and some include All-wheel drive.
I like how MotorTrend breaks down pros and cons of each, so be sure to check out their full article. Summary is below.
