Luxury cars often come with the expectation of high upkeep costs, but that’s not always the case. In fact, several models in 2025 prove that owning a premium vehicle doesn’t have to drain your wallet, especially when it comes to routine maintenance and long-term reliability.

Honda has long been known for building dependable vehicles, and its SUV lineup is no exception. In 2025, the brand continues to offer a range of crossovers and SUVs that deliver strong reliability, practical design, and long-term value, but some models stand out more than others.

High-performance doesn’t always mean high cost, and in 2025, one sports car proves that point better than any other. With over 300 horsepower under the hood and a starting price that undercuts much of the competition, it’s the most affordable way to get serious speed in a brand-new package.

While hybrids and EVs continue to dominate headlines, traditional gas-powered cars still have a place, especially when they deliver outstanding fuel economy. In 2025, one model stands out as the most fuel-efficient new gasoline-only car on the market, proving that efficiency doesn’t have to mean plugging in.

Luxury doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price. In 2025, one compact SUV proves that premium design, upscale features, and refined driving dynamics can still be found in an affordable package, making it a standout in its class.

Affordable crossovers are in high demand, but finding one that balances price, quality, and features under $25,000 is no easy task. Fortunately, one standout model in 2025 delivers impressive value without cutting corners, making it the best new crossover in its price range.

Plug-in hybrids offer a smart bridge between gas and electric driving, and some used models now deliver that efficiency with a surprising twist. In fact, one well-equipped pre-owned plug-in hybrid SUV now sells for less than the price of a brand-new Toyota RAV4.

Not all cars depreciate at the same rate, and some brands are far better than others at holding their value over time. Whether you're buying new or planning to trade in down the line, resale value is a key factor that can save (or cost) you thousands.

Finding a three-row SUV that offers space, features, and reliability without stretching your budget can be tough. But one model in 2025 delivers all that and more, making it a top pick for families who want maximum value without compromise.

Toyota has built its reputation on reliability, and nowhere is that more evident than in its SUV lineup. With models ranging from compact crossovers to full-size family haulers, Toyota continues to deliver vehicles that stand the test of time. But not all models are created equal. Some perform better than others when it comes to long-term dependability.

American vehicles have come a long way in terms of quality and dependability, and, while they still have a long way to go, some models in 2025 prove reliability isn't exclusive to foreign brands. Several standout models from U.S. automakers deliver consistent performance, low maintenance costs, and long-term peace of mind.
