Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is powered by a 243-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive system was easy to recommend in previous years, and we’re happy that it’s now standard on every Highlander Hybrid.
This is a hybrid SUV for families, so we’re not surprised that it drives like one. We’ve found it excels at carrying the squad in comfort and quiet. Although quiet during regular driving duties, we noticed it could be a little noisy under hard acceleration, a common caveat with Toyota hybrids. However, we weren’t tempted to floor it very often in our testing.
The Highlander Hybrid has a little less power than the standard Highlander, which produces 265 hp, but it’s a small tradeoff for the excellent fuel economy. If you like the idea of a hybrid family hauler but crave a gutsier powertrain, the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid and its available 362-hp Hybrid MAX system might be more suitable. For families who prioritize efficiency over performance, the frugal Highlander Hybrid is the way to go.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is one of the most efficient (non-electric) 3-row SUVs you can buy. It is rated at 35 mpg combined across the board. This is a significant improvement over rivals with standard gasoline engines, including the regular Toyota Highlander. That model achieves 24 mpg with all-wheel drive. The Highlander Hybrid&#8217;s efficiency is in the ballpark with all-wheel-drive versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and Kia Sorento Hybrid.
According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the monthly fuel cost of the Highlander Hybrid is about $50 less than the non-hybrid Highlander with all-wheel drive.

Inoffensive Exterior

Exterior

Perhaps one of the best things about the Highlander Hybrid is that it doesn’t look like a hybrid. It just looks like a Highlander, and we like that. It has a small &#8220;Beyond Zero HEV&#8221; emblem, and that’s about the only tell. Otherwise, like the standard Highlander, this hybrid variant conveys a balance of handsomeness and ruggedness but never goes overboard.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Standard all-wheel drive 
All-wheel drive comes standard on every Toyota Highlander Hybrid, making it an appealing option for families in snowy climates who can benefit from the extra traction.
Hybrid efficiency 
If you’re shopping for a hybrid, low fuel costs are probably a priority. The Highlander Hybrid doesn’t disappoint in this department; it returns 35 combined mpg.
Wireless smartphone connectivity 
Whether you’re team Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can use your phone’s in-vehicle capabilities without connecting a cord.
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 
We’ve long admired that Toyota doesn’t make you pay extra for active safety and driver-assist features. The Highlander Hybrid comes standard with driving aids like adaptive cruise control, lane-tracing assist, and even blind-spot monitoring.
Dual 12.3-inch displays 
This high-tech duo of screens is standard on the Limited trim and up. One controls infotainment functions, while the other is a digital driver display that can change with various driving modes. In our testing, we found the large format much easier to use.
Platinum trim 
The highest trim of the Highlander Hybrid makes this family hauler competitive with pricier luxury SUVs. A few of its standard features include a panoramic sunroof, leather seats (heated and ventilated in front), a head-up display, and a JBL audio system.

Nice Interior

Interior

All Toyota Highlander Hybrid models have three rows and can seat at least seven. Seating for eight is optional, exclusively for the base XLE trim. All other trims are only available with second-row captain’s chairs, which makes the second row more comfortable and the third row easier to access.
We’ve found plenty of space in the first two rows of the Highlander Hybrid, but legroom is tight in the third, best left to smaller children. For context, the Sorento Hybrid has about the same front-seat legroom but more second- and third-row legroom, as does the Santa Fe Hybrid. If this is a deal-breaker, we advise checking out the Grand Highlander Hybrid, which has a roomier third row plus more cargo space.
Speaking of cargo space, we respect that the Highlander Hybrid gives up nothing compared to the standard hybrid despite having its innovative powertrain under the chassis. That means the same numbers: 16 cubic feet behind the third row, 48.4 with the third row folded, and 84.3 with the last two rows folded. These measurements are a little small for the class. In addition to the Grand Highlander Hybrid, the new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is another option for a roomier 3-row hybrid SUV that’s priced in the same ballpark.
Toyota’s SofTex faux leather upholstery is standard, and the two upper trims have genuine leather. Top trims also have premium amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a digital rearview mirror with a built-in garage door opener, and a 10-inch head-up display (HUD).
An 8-inch touchscreen is standard, but if your budget allows it, we recommend upgrading to the dual 12.3-inch displays in the Limited trim and up. We’re grateful that wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard across the board.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid goes way back as one of the first mass-market SUVs to be offered with a hybrid powertrain. The concept of a hybrid family SUV has gradually become more mainstream, and the Highlander Hybrid remains a strong choice in an increasingly competitive class. It has everything we love about the Highlander, like strong resale value, good safety scores, and a family-friendly interior, but adds a gas-electric hybrid powertrain with standard all-wheel drive (AWD) that returns 35 mpg, both in the city and on the highway. There&#8217;s also a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/highlander/">non-hybrid Highlander</a> and a bigger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid/">Grand Highlander Hybrid</a>, which we review separately.

$73,500 &amp; up

$73,500 &amp; up Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Infiniti QX80 is a tech-forward, capable full-size luxury SUV with classy style and plenty of power.

<ul>
<li>Still not as large as some large luxury SUVs</li>
</ul>

Under the hood, you’ll find 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque from a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. That’s 50 hp and 103 lb-ft more than the previous-gen QX80. It’s a serious bump, enough to put the QX80 shoulder-to-shoulder with Navigator and Escalade. There’s a hint of turbo lag, but uphill or on the highway, it never feels short on muscle.
Steering? Nicely weighted, especially in Sport mode, which adds a little heft. Prefer to let the car do the work? ProPilot 2.1 brings partial self-driving capability.
Ride quality gets a big assist from the adaptive suspension (standard on Luxe and up), which smooths out the harshness you might expect from 22-inch wheels. It’s not quite GLS-level sophistication, but body roll stays well in check.
Fuel Economy
The 2026 QX80 gets 18 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive (RWD), or 17 mpg combined with 4-wheel drive (4WD). That’s a couple mpg better than the V8 in the old QX80. For context, the GLS 450 4Matic does 21 mpg, but with just 362 hp. The Cadillac Escalade scores combined ratings of 17 mpg with rear-wheel drive, or 16 mpg with 4-wheel drive.

Balanced Proportions

The QX80&#8217;s proportions are spot-on, and details like the bamboo-inspired grille, flush door handles, and full-width LED tail lamps make it stand out. Higher trims even greet you with a light show when you approach.

Google built-in 
With Google built-in, voice commands feel more natural, navigation runs through Google Maps, and your favorite apps are right there on the big screen. And yes, Apple iPhone users are still covered with full compatibility.
Klipsch Audio 
Klipsch might not be a household name in cars, but in home audio circles, it’s legendary. Every QX80 gets a Klipsch system: either 14 speakers and 600 watts in the two lower trims, or 24 speakers and 1,200 watts in the upper models. It’s the kind of sound that turns a commute into a concert.
Wide Front View 
Parking lot blind spots? Narrow alleys? The Wide Front View camera has your back, or rather, your front. Covering 170 degrees, it lets you see what’s coming when you’re creeping out of a tight space or peeking around a corner.
Invisible Hood View 
Ever wish you could see through the hood? This feature comes close. By stitching together images from multiple cameras, it gives you a virtual look at what’s hiding right in front, whether it’s curbs, car wash tracks, or other hazards.
Biometric Cooling 
An infrared sensor above the second row monitors body temperature and tells the climate system where to send cooler air. No more “too hot back here” complaints, just quiet, personalized comfort.
Journey Diary 
Journey Diary captures images and video from the forward-facing cameras, and, if equipped, the in-cabin camera, so you can relive the adventure or share it on social media. It’s like having a built-in photographer and videographer for your QX80.

More Space and Elegance

When you step inside, it’s clear Infiniti aimed for elegance. Two 14.3-inch displays dominate the dash, with a 9-inch climate screen below. A head-up display joins the party at Luxe trim.
Seating is for seven or eight, with captain’s chairs in the second row if you go with seven. Front seats? Wide and supremely comfortable. Outward visibility? Excellent.
The Autograph trim is pure indulgence, with soft-touch everything, fine materials, and massaging seats in both rows. Yes, second-row passengers get the spa treatment too.
Access to the third row is easy, even with child seats installed. Back there, shorter passengers will be happiest, but they still get USB-C ports (eight total in the cabin), vents, and optional heating.
The QX80’s cargo space is considerably larger than in the previous-generation model, with 20.4 cubic feet available behind the third row, 56.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and a maximum of 97.1 cubic feet behind the first row.
For comparison, the GLS maxes out at 84.7 cubic feet, and the BMW X7 offers 90.4 cubic feet. That means the QX80 is one of the larger luxury SUVs around, although it’s still smaller than the likes of the Escalade and Navigator, both of which offer more than 100 cubic feet of space.
If we have one gripe with the QX80&#8217;s cabin, it’s the button-style transmission selector. It frees up console space for storage and wireless charging, but we’d prefer a traditional shifter. On the plus side, you can specify a chilled compartment big enough for a six-pack.

All-new last year, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 continues to make a statement. This full-size luxury SUV brings commanding presence, cutting-edge tech, and a cabin that feels like a private jet lounge. This is also the first Infiniti model to wear a six-figure price tag. The old QX80 was the bargain in this class, but the new one aims for the top shelf, adding everything buyers expect, like premium audio, exquisite materials, and even a climate system that reads body heat.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-full-size-suvs/">full-size luxury SUVs</a>, including the Infiniti QX80.

The high-spec Sensory trim has long been the go-to version of the QX80, but with the redesigned model, the Sensory trim is no more. Instead, we can see plenty of buyers choosing the midrange Luxe trim with all-wheel drive (AWD), landing around $95,000.
The QX80 is priced in the same league as the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and BMW X7. The Lexus LX and Jeep Grand Wagoneer are priced a little higher. Some rivals also offer extended-length versions for extra cargo space.
Before you buy a new large luxury SUV, check KBB’s Fair Purchase Price. The old QX80 lagged slightly in resale value, but this redesign should improve things, meaning more money back when you trade in.

<ul>
<li>Spacious, high-quality cabin</li>
<li>Stylish looks</li>
<li>Great tech</li>
</ul>

The new QX80 packs serious muscle in the form of a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 delivering 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. A smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic handles the power distribution. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the two lower trims, while all-wheel drive is optional there and standard on the top two trims. Need to tow? The QX80 is rated for a hefty 8,500 pounds.
<h3>4-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Infiniti’s coverage beats the norm. Every 2026 QX80 comes with four years or 60,000 miles of new-vehicle warranty (whichever happens first), plus unlimited-mile roadside assistance. The powertrain is covered for six years or 70,000 miles, and you also get three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, no mileage cap.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 hasn’t yet been crash-tested by the relevant authorities, but the nearly identical 2025 model earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the body’s highest rating. In addition to its crash test performance, every QX80 comes standard with advanced safety tech like forward collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, trailer blind-spot warning, a 360-degree camera system, and much more.

What's new for 2026

The QX80 was all-new for the 2025 model year, but there are still new features on the table for 2026, including a new Sport grade that features dark-themed exterior styling, including a black grille, dark chrome trim, and other black exterior details, plus unique 22-inch wheels. Also new for 2026 is a Dusk Blue interior theme with dark matte chrome accents, open-pore wood trim, and other detail upgrades.

The 2026 Nissan Kicks matches a bargain price with advanced technology and excellent fuel economy.

<ul>
<li>Could be quicker</li>
<li>No power driver’s seat</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Kicks delivers 141 horsepower – about average for the class. For example, the Kia Seltos makes 146 hp, while the Chevy Trailblazer settles for 137 hp. All in all, the Kicks behaves much as you would expect for a subcompact SUV.
We embarked on a 4-day, 1,400-mile Cannonball Run from Greenville, South Carolina, to Delray Beach, Florida, and back in an all-wheel-drive Nissan Kicks SR with the Premium Package. Our conclusion: This is a terrific little crossover for road trips. Is it quick? Well, no. Is it super comfortable? No, but quite comfy enough. Is it quiet? Yes, with a qualification. Is it roomy enough for people and all their stuff? An emphatic, yes!
Granted, it was a 3-night stay for two older guys, but the Kicks swallowed us and our suitcases, hanging clothing bags, and other assorted odds and ends, and begged for more. Even with the second-row seat in place, the rear cargo area is quite spacious. Sorry, delivering only 141 hp, there is no way to frame the Kicks as quick. However, it can muster sufficient thrust for launching from freeway ramps free of drama. Moreover, we were amazed that in spite of the horsepower handicap and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), the adaptive cruise control effortlessly maintained its preset speed, no matter if the terrain was flat or hilly.
Both front and rear seats are of Nissan’s Zero Gravity variety, influenced by the space program. After spending about nine and a half hours in them, we were still relatively fresh. Although there is a bit of engine roar under hard acceleration, it’s not overwhelming. What we did find mind-numbingly annoying was the tire noise on anything other than baby-bottom-smooth pavement. This was an issue on I-95 through Georgia, where the pavement is primarily that pebbly asphalt. Crossing into South Carolina and Florida from Georgia was akin to being dropped into a sensory deprivation tank.
Oh, and we averaged 32 mpg on a trip that was about 90% freeway.
Fuel Economy
Here’s where the rather mundane engine performance and CVT really pay off. With front-wheel drive (FWD), the Kicks delivers an estimated combined mileage of 31 mpg. This drops to 30 mpg with all-wheel drive. These numbers are tied with or better than every other gasoline-only subcompact SUV rival.

Stunning Exterior

We’ve already forgotten what the previous Kicks looked like. Which says a lot about how stunning this generation’s design is, and how not-at-all-stunning the previous model was. If this is Nissan’s new design philosophy, we&#8217;re excited to see what future models will look like.
Size-wise, the revamped Kicks grew by about an inch in each direction. It’s now similar to the Kia Seltos; however, both are smaller than the Honda HR-V. The Kicks is also more like an SUV than a hatchback, with ground clearance of 8.4 inches (a hike of 1.4 inches). It’s not as much as the Subaru Crosstrek, but darn close.

Available all-wheel drive 
The second-generation Kicks boasts all-wheel drive on its options list for the first time. It is a must-have feature in regions where it snows, thanks to the enhanced traction it delivers on slick roads. We applaud Nissan for adding it.
Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen 
For 2026, all three trims get a generous 12.3-inch digital infotainment touchscreen display. It makes finding and controlling systems much easier.
Nissan Safety Shield 360 
Standard on every new Kicks, this bundle of advanced safety and driver-assist tech includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and high-beam assist. Also standard is rear park assist.
Adaptive cruise control 
We love that, at this price point, standard on every Kicks trim is adaptive cruise control, which slows and accelerates to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front once the speed has been set. It’s reliable and holds the set speed uphill and down.
Available ProPilot Assist 
Standard on the range-topping SR grade, this semi-autonomous driver-assistance system allows the Kicks to brake, accelerate, and steer itself under certain conditions. It takes advantage of other SR-standard advanced systems like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot intervention, and Intersection Assist, which kicks in when making a left turn across oncoming traffic.
Intelligent Key 
A programmable key fob, this feature is a more complex take on keyless entry systems that automatically unlock the vehicle without engaging the fob. In other words, you can unlock the Kicks by simply operating the door or liftgate handle as long as the key fob is on your person. Standard starting on the SV trim, it also includes push-button start.

Quality Cabin

To match the adventurous exterior, Nissan has graced the new Kicks with a classy interior. In the top SR trim, at least, which comes with a dual-display unit that incorporates a digital instrument cluster and an infotainment touchscreen — both measuring 12.3 inches. Other trims have a 7-inch driver&#8217;s display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
After that treat for the eyes comes a treat for a lower region. The aforementioned Nissan Zero Gravity seats — renowned for their comfort — are standard in both rows. The bigger body of the new Kicks results in more space for its occupants. There are increases (albeit by an inch or so) in shoulder room and rear legroom from the last-gen model. That said, the Kia Seltos and Honda HR-V are still a bit more accommodating for those with longer legs.
Cargo space varies according to trim and whether or not the specific vehicle has all-wheel drive. The largest luggage area behind the rear seats is 30 cubic feet, expanding to 60 cubic feet with those seats folded. These figures are better-than-average for the class. To compare, the previous Kicks had 25.3/53.1 cubic feet. Nissan also claims a widest-in-class cargo area opening, at 40.3 inches, which will make loading something like a stroller an easier task.

Typically, subcompact SUVs gin up about as much excitement as microwaved oatmeal. However, there’s much about the 2026 Nissan Kicks to stir the soul. Having received a full makeover for 2025, the Kicks now lays claim to available all-wheel drive (AWD) and better-than-average ground clearance. We must also admit that we like the rugged styling. Furthermore, Nissan has stuffed it with all manner of advanced tech. Yet, the Kicks remains a real bargain within its class.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this collection of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact SUVs</a>, including the Nissan Kicks.

2026 Nissan Kicks Pricing

The 2026 Nissan Kicks starts at $23,925 for the base S trim. The top-line SR starts at $28,155.

We’d forget the entry-level S trim, spending another $1,700 on the SV. It adds remote start, advanced proximity keyless entry, wireless phone charging, and bigger 17-inch wheels. As far as sales numbers go, the SV and SR grades go out the door at about the same brisk pace. Opting for all-wheel drive will set you back $1,500, regardless of the trim.
Historically, the Kicks has been on the low end of the subcompact SUV pricing spectrum.
Before buying a new Kicks subcompact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values of the previous generation were just a fraction below average. Remember: Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

<li>Optional all-wheel drive</li>
<li>Compelling styling</li>
<li>Loads of advanced tech</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>12.3-inch touchscreen standard</li>
</ul>

A 4-cylinder engine motivates the Kicks, generating 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. This goes to a standard front-wheel-drive configuration, although the Kicks offers the option of all-wheel drive (featuring a Snow mode) with all three trims.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Nissan’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, including roadside assistance. These terms are typical for the class. There’s no free scheduled maintenance.
Safety
The Nissan Kicks earns the Top Safety Pick accolade from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) gave it an overall score of 4 out of 5 stars. The standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control. We’re also happy that blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is part of this array as well. The top SR trim gains ProPilot adaptive cruise control/lane-keeping/steering assistance.

Coming off 2025’s redesign, the Kicks is mostly unchanged for 2026. Of note, though, the 12.3-inch touchscreen is now standard across all grades. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/">Nissan</a> has also made a Cold Weather Package available for the SV and SR trims. It bundles the usual suspects: heated seats, heated outboard mirrors, and the much-appreciated rear seat HVAC vents.

The affordably priced 2026 Nissan Rogue blends terrific fuel economy with a comfortable interior and plenty of high-end tech.

<ul>
<li>Coarse engine</li>
<li>No hybrid</li>
</ul>

Veering from most other compact SUVs, the Rogue sources its punch from a turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. It supplies ample power yet pulls off the impressive feat of being among the segment&#8217;s most powerful and fuel-efficient entries.
Power delivery isn’t quite as responsive or refined as others in the segment, but it&#8217;s an acceptable tradeoff. As for highway ride and urban handling, we think the Rogue&#8217;s manners are on par with the segment’s top sellers.
Impressive Fuel Economy
The Rogue’s fuel economy is an estimated 32 mpg for mixed city-and-highway driving in front-wheel-drive form. That’s more like that of a subcompact SUV than of a compact one.
It is better than the Honda CR-V’s 30 mpg, the Hyundai Tucson’s 28 mpg, or the Kia Sportage’s 28 mpg. Even with all-wheel drive, the Rogue beats those figures, delivering 31 mpg.

Stop-and-Stare Looks

Looks are subjective, but we’ll stick out our necks to praise the Nissan Rogue as one of the better-looking compact SUVs – a view shared in many of our owners&#8217; reviews. The current third-generation Rogue debuted for the 2021 model year, sporting greater character in its exterior design than the previous generations.
A freshening just two years ago further improved things. Buyers may pick one exterior aspect that’s becoming more popular among many new vehicles: available two-tone paint. Whether it&#8217;s dressed in one color or two, we are fans of the Rogue&#8217;s styling.
If you want to crank up the design heat, we recommend the Rock Creek or Dark Armor Special Edition, with unique styling cues.

Infotainment system 
The Rogue is the first Nissan to come with Google built-in, including Google Automotive Services. We find that it simplifies operating the systems it controls. Standard in the SL and Platinum trims, it brings with it a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The entire Rogue lineup has Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration.
Front seat relief 
Nissan vehicles are known for their comfortable Zero Gravity front seats, enhanced with enough support to keep weariness at bay during long trips. We have logged some long hours in the Rogue and know firsthand how much these seats prevent fatigue.
Variable compression 
Although this is a highly specialized engine feature, variable compression involves clever engineering that helps the Rogue reconcile the conflicting aims of performance and fuel economy. It pays off in the Rogue&#8217;s great fuel economy.
Expansive rear door openings 
Yes, all compact SUVs have rear passenger doors. But the Rogue’s open a full 90 degrees. More than one of our test drivers with families noted how much easier it is loading a toddler into a child seat, thanks to the Rogue’s wide door openings.
Big door pockets 
A 36-ounce bottle will fit into any of the four doors&#8217; pockets in the Rogue compact SUV. That’s about the size of a typical water container used by hiking types.
Hands-free liftgate operation 
The powered liftgate, standard in the top two trims, opens automatically when a motion sensor is triggered. We found that when juggling a toddler and all the required toddler trappings or with an armload of other stuff, a hands-free liftgate can be a lifesaver.

Long-Haul Comfort

Seating comfort has much to do with the overall vehicle experience. In the Rogue’s case, we appreciate the NASA-inspired Zero Gravity front seats. In our experience, the longer the trip, the bigger their impact. Every trim level has reclining rear seats that split and fold in a 60/40 fashion.
At 38.5 inches, rear legroom is about average for the segment, which is plentiful. Behind the rear seat is a luggage area of 31.6 cubic feet. Folding the rear seat creates a maximum cargo area of 74.1 cubic feet. Although a couple of rivals &#8212; the Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson spring to mind – provide more, the Rogue’s cargo numbers are above average for the class.
Naturally, the Rogue&#8217;s finest interior belongs to the Platinum trim, which is nearly a luxury experience with features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen and semi-aniline leather seating surfaces with diamond-patterned stitching. The Rock Creek variant comes with special water-repellent simulated leather seating surfaces with contrasting red stitching. Heated front seats are also standard in this model.

The 2026 Nissan Rogue is a well-balanced compact SUV featuring loads of advanced safety/driver-assist technology, comfy furnishings, and impressive fuel economy. Moreover, we think it’s darn good looking, too. What more do you need in a compact SUV? Not much, we say.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Nissan Rogue.

2026 Nissan Rogue Pricing

The best-selling Rogue is the SV trim by far. We always recommend passing up the base S model, spending that extra $1,000, to gain all sorts of goodies. For example, to the S content the SV adds bigger 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, more audio speakers, NissanConnect remote services, additional USB ports, dual-zone automatic climate control, and proximity keyless entry with push-button start.
You can add all-wheel-drive (AWD) to any trim (S, SV, Dark Armor, and SL)  that comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) for $1,400.
Other top-selling compact SUVs include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/">Toyota RAV4</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, all of which currently start within about $1,000 of the Rogue.
Before buying a Nissan Rogue, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. To date, the Nissan Rogue has a slightly better-than-average track record among compact SUVs for retaining its value. Remember: Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

<ul>
<li>Abundant safety tech</li>
<li>Zero Gravity seats</li>
<li>Impressive mpg</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Dark Armor Special Edition</li>
</ul>

Every Rogue derives its go from a 201-horsepower turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. In this sense, the Rogue is an outlier in a segment where most competitors offer a non-turbocharged 4-cylinder. Combined with 225 lb-ft of torque, this is among the most powerful standard engines in the segment and can motivate the Rogue to 60 mph in a respectable span of about eight seconds.
As with most other compact SUVs, front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional (standard in the Rock Creek and Platinum grades). Power runs through an automatic transmission engineered with an emphasis on fuel economy.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Nissan&#8217;s warranty coverage is typical for mainstream carmakers. The limited bumper-to-bumper coverage is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain protection is for five years or 60,000 miles.
Safety Ratings
The <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a> (NHTSA) gave the Rogue a maximum 5-Star overall safety rating. In the middle of the Rogue’s lifecycle, the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a> (IIHS) changed its testing protocol. In two new tests developed after the current generation’s launch, the Rogue posted a score of Acceptable. In several older tests, the Rogue did take the top Good score, which earned it a spot on the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick list.
Nissan equips the Rogue with an impressive array of advanced safety and driver-aid technologies like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and lane-departure warning.

Topping the list of Rogue’s 2026 enhancements is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-nissan-rogue-gets-dark-armor-edition/">Dark Armor edition</a>. Slotting into the lineup above the SV grade, the Dark Armor version includes black 19-inch wheels and gloss black exterior accents (outboard mirrors, the grille, pillars, and roof rails). Other features are an HD surround-view monitor with moving object detection, and heated front seats and steering wheel. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/">Nissan</a> makes an all-new Cold Weather Package with heated seats and steering wheel available for the SV grade.

2026Toyota Highlander

2026Toyota Highlander Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$43,500 - $48,499

$43,500 - $48,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Toyota Highlander is a tried-and-true midsize family SUV, and now it comes standard with all-wheel drive.

<ul>
<li>Tight third row and cargo room</li>
<li>High base price</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Toyota Highlander is powered by a 265-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. In our time with the Highlander and its turbocharged 4-cylinder, we’ve found it potent and torquey, and we don’t miss the old V6 that used to power this family SUV.
Engine aside, the Highlander remains true to its mission, which it carries out well: Serve as a comfortable and adept family hauler. It rolls down all manner of roads with confidence in a relaxed way. Highlander XSE models, with their sport-tuned suspension, add a bit more firmness for those who like to take their corners on the faster side of speed limits.
Toyota’s tried-and-true 8-speed automatic transmission shifts with aplomb, and the Highlander is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The standard all-wheel-drive system also improves this SUV’s all-weather traction, and the Dynamic Torque Vectoring feature in the upper trims further enhances responsiveness and stability.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Toyota Highlander is one of the more efficient vehicles in its class. It&#8217;s rated at 21 city/28 highway/24 combined mpg, which is good compared to other SUVs in this segment with all-wheel drive.
For even better efficiency, consider the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which returns up to 35 combined mpg and also has standard all-wheel drive.

Inviting Exterior

The Toyota Highlander’s exterior design conveys a nice balance of handsomeness and ruggedness but never goes overboard. This SUV is a family vehicle meant for family life without needing a massive grille, knobby tires, or tons of chrome.

Hands-free power liftgate 
The days of manually heaving and reaching to open and close the Highlander’s rear door are over. A real convenience, this family SUV has a standard power tailgate capable of hands-free operation for when your arms are full of groceries or children.
Wireless smartphone connectivity 
Whether you’re team Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can use your phone’s in-vehicle capabilities without connecting a cord.
Multiple USB ports 
This has become an essential feature in family vehicles to ensure everyone’s devices are topped off. The Highlander comes with five of them.
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 
We’ve long admired that Toyota doesn’t make you pay extra for active safety and driver-assist features. The Highlander includes driving aids like adaptive cruise control, lane-tracing assist, and even blind-spot monitoring.
Dual 12.3-inch displays 
This high-tech duo of screens is standard in the Limited and Platinum trims. One controls infotainment functions, while the other is a digital driver display that can change with various driving modes.
14 cupholders 
Although we’ve learned that the abundance of cupholders in the Toyota Highlander often results in more bathroom stops on long road trips, it’s a small price to pay for a hydrated family.

Family-Friendly Interior

All Toyota Highlander models have three rows and can seat seven or eight passengers. The XLE and Limited trims are available with a 7- or 8-seat configuration, and the XSE and Platinum models come exclusively with second-row captain’s chairs, which means max seating for seven.
We’ve found plenty of space in the first two rows (front: 42 inches; second row: 38.7 inches). However, legroom is tight in the third row, with 28 inches of space, far less than rivals like the Chevy Traverse and Honda Pilot. The third row in the Highlander is best left to smaller children. There are three seats across the third row, but even if they’re all kids, fitting three people back there is a tight squeeze.
The good news is that the Highlander shares a showroom with the Grand Highlander. One of the main things that makes it so “grand” is its much more adult-friendly third row. It’s significantly roomier with an extra 5.5 inches of third-row legroom.
Now that the LE trim is gone, Toyota’s SofTex faux leather is standard, while genuine leather is optional. Standard creature comforts include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless phone charging pad. Top trims have premium amenities such as heated and ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror, and a 10-inch head-up display (HUD).
Regarding cargo capacity for the strollers, groceries, sports gear, and everything else this vehicle will be tasked to carry, the Toyota Highlander has 16 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, 48.4 with them folded, and 84.3 with the second row folded. Those figures are all about midpack in this segment. For reference, the Grand Highlander has 20.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row and a whopping 97.5 cubic feet of room when you fold all the back seats down.

The Toyota Highlander is one of the most trusted names in family SUVs for good reasons. It checks the boxes that families need filled, like 3-row seating and a lot of cupholders, but it’s more than the sum of its parts. It has the long-term reliability, stellar safety ratings, and strong resale value that the Toyota brand is famous for, enhancing the value proposition and peace of mind for the driver. It also has good fuel economy for an SUV this size, and its impressive list of standard features now includes all-wheel drive. There’s also a more fuel-efficient <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/highlander-hybrid/">Highlander Hybrid</a> and a roomier <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander/">Grand Highlander</a> (and its own <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid/">hybrid variant</a>), which we review separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Toyota Highlander.

The 2026 Toyota Highlander starts at $46,765 for the base XLE trim. The top Platinum trim kicks off at $54,420.

The 2026 Toyota Highlander has a high starting price for a midsize SUV, but it’s priced close to similarly equipped rivals with all-wheel drive. The Highlander dropped its base LE trim for 2026, leaving what used to be the mid-range XLE as the new base trim.
Before buying a Highlander, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Highlander resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The Toyota Highlander uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine makes 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Standard all-wheel drive is a nice new perk for 2026. Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, which is typical for this segment.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Toyota’s new-vehicle warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first, with powertrains covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This coverage is typical for the segment. Toyota includes complimentary scheduled maintenance over the first two years or 25,000 miles.
<h3>Safety</h3>
This generation Toyota Highlander earned the Top Safety Pick honor for 2024 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), and it scores a 5-Star crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Moreover it provides a generous list of standard advanced safety features, which includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and road sign assist.

Every 2026 Toyota Highlander gets standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Previously, front-wheel drive (FWD) was standard, and all-wheel drive was optional. Also, the LE trim was discontinued, leaving the XLE as the new base model.

2026MAZDA CX-90

2026MAZDA CX-90 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Mazda CX-90 is on the more upscale and sporty side of practical midsize 3-row SUVs.

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is powered by a 280-horsepower turbocharged 6-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). The gutsier Turbo S models turn up the heat with 340 hp, putting this Mazda in the same wheelhouse as sportier options in this class like the Ford Explorer ST and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/durango/">Dodge Durango</a> GT.
The base engine makes more sense for most families. It does an admirable job moving the CX-90 along in swift comfort. We’ve noticed some fussiness in the shifting from the 8-speed transmission, but mostly in Sport mode. Normal mode ensures a reasonably smooth and serene ride.
In addition to enhancing its all-season traction, the standard all-wheel drive system in the Mazda CX-90 also improves handling and grip on dry pavement. Mazda’s clever Kinematic Posture Control applies the brakes to an inside rear wheel during cornering, reducing body roll while optimizing stability. It’s a little thing that makes the Mazda feel a bit more planted in the corners than a typical SUV this size.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Mazda CX-90&#8217;s base engine returns 24 city/28 highway/25 combined mpg. The Turbo S models are similarly efficient, returning 23 city/28 highway/25 combined mpg, but premium fuel is recommended, so fuel costs are quite a bit higher. These fuel economy ratings are above average for this class.

Classy Exterior

In the same way the interior of the Mazda CX-90 feels like it’s from a more premium car, its exterior design has a way of making it look more expensive than it is. Its long hood and prominent grille imply sportiness, while its clean, restrained lines make it look on the more premium side of its class, which it is.

Tri-zone automatic climate control 
We always like to see this comfort feature in a family-oriented vehicle. It comes standard in the Mazda CX-90.
i-Activsense 
The standard i-Activsense bundle of driver assistance tech features includes full-speed adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist.
Smartphone connectivity 
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are must-have features for many people, and they come standard in the Mazda CX-90. All but the base trim get wireless connectivity.
Head-up display 
This feature becomes standard in the third trim (Premium Sport). It projects vital information on the windshield directly ahead of the driver, making it a little easier to keep your eyes on the road.
Inline-6 engines 
Pardon us for a second while we geek out on mechanical stuff, but a 6-cylinder engine with all its pistons in a row is naturally smoother than one in a V configuration. BMW has used this setup for years, and Mercedes-Benz is revisiting it. So this is another luxury aspect of the CX-90.
Heated second-row seats 
These are exclusive to the Premium Plus models, which also have heated/ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. It’s a nice feature for families in colder climates.

Lovely Interior

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/">Mazda</a> has been on a roll for several years in delivering the interior design and quality expected in more expensive vehicles. The CX-90 is a prime example of this effort. It looks clean but not too sparse, and everything the driver touches just feels nice.
The centerpiece of this interior is a 10.25-inch infotainment display, which can be upgraded to a 12.3-inch screen. It’s controlled primarily by a knob on the center console. Oddly, it only becomes a touchscreen when Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is in use. The native, knob-operated system has a learning curve but feels natural once you get used to it.
The CX-90 seats between six and eight, depending on the configuration. The 8-passenger setup has a second-row bench seat and three seats in the third row. Seating capacity drops to seven when you opt for second-row captain’s chairs. The upper trims forego the middle seat in the third row and have standard captain’s chairs, so these seat six.
The first and second rows of seats are roomy and comfortable for adults, but the CX-90 is on the small side when it comes to room for cargo and third-row passengers. There are 30.4 inches of third-row legroom, a little more than the Toyota Highlander, but less than the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Ford Explorer, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/traverse/">Chevy Traverse</a>.
The Mazda’s cargo hold isn’t very useful when all the seats are in use; there’s only 14.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row. That increases to 40 cubic feet behind the second and 74.2 cubic feet behind the first.

The Mazda CX-90 is the brand’s most family-friendly SUV, with standard 3-row seating for up to eight people. Midsize 3-row SUVs are all about practicality, but that doesn’t mean you must compromise on premium features or an exciting driving experience. The CX-90 boasts one of the more luxurious interiors we’ve seen in a non-luxury SUV, with a rich design and upscale materials throughout. It’s also pretty fun to drive thanks to its turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine, which makes a healthy 340 horsepower in the Turbo S trims. Additionally, an efficient plug-in hybrid option is available, which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-90-phev/">review separately</a>.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Mazda CX-90.

The 2026 Mazda CX-90&#8217;s base Turbo Select trim starts at $40,330, and the high-performance Turbo S models start at $55,470.

The Mazda CX-90&#8217;s Turbo models are priced typically for a midsize 3-row SUV. It’s priced close to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/pilot/">Honda Pilot</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Hyundai Palisade</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/explorer/">Ford Explorer</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/highlander/">Toyota Highlander</a>. The Turbo S models are pricier because their performance is atypical for a midsize family SUV.
Before buying a CX-90, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Mazda CX-90 resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>

<li>Exciting Turbo S models</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Standard Alexa</li>
<li>Turbo S Premium Sport trim</li>
<li>New paint option</li>
</ul>

Every CX-90 has a turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-6 engine augmented by a mild-hybrid system that smooths out the fuel-saving engine stop/restart action and can propel the SUV just with electric power for a short distance at low speed.
In the more affordable Turbo models, this engine develops a perfectly adequate 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque with regular gasoline. Mazda also offers the Turbo S setup with 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque — premium gasoline is recommended here.
All-wheel drive (with a sporty-feeling rear bias in normal conditions) is standard, accompanied by an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, achieved by the lower-powered engine. That’s par for the midsize SUV course.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Mazda’s new-vehicle warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical for mainstream manufacturers.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The CX-90 has taken the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). It also earned the maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

Amazon Alexa integration now comes standard on every 2026 Mazda CX-90. Additionally, there&#8217;s a new Turbo S Premium Sport trim, which brings the sporty appearance package from the Turbo Premium Sport trim with the base engine and brings it to the Turbo S lineup. Polymetal Gray Metallic, a premium color on several Mazda products but new to the 2026 CX-90, replaces Sonic Silver Metallic.
