| We’ve had several Volvo XC60s and have enjoyed them. However, we want something different this time. We’re also looking to spend less money and want high reliability. Any ideas? |
| RAV4 or CRV. Those are the next step down for crossovers. |
| Vw tiguan |
| Subaru Outback or Forester. |
| VW reliability? Maybe a Lexus NX? |
| Mazda CX-5 |
| Mercedes GLC 300. It’s nicer and slightly cheaper. |
The redesigned interior for 2023 is … interesting. |
Yes it's a fantastic car. However, it's not cheaper than the Volvo XC60 |
| The new Ford Bronco looks great. Have no idea about reliability, though. |
It 100% is. When I drove a top xc60 it was $8k more than the GLC300 with the same equipment. Looking at the websites, the XC60 AWD base price is $46,845 and the GLC300 AWD base price is $45,850. Add a few options and there’s a greater difference. |
| I just built a top line XC60 with all options, it’s $61k, did the same on the MB site and it’s $55k. I was surprised when shopping them. |
| Get a Subaru Outback Touring edition. That will run you around $42K and has every option available. |
If you’re placing a high value on reliability- then definitely the NX. The new model is a big improvement design-wise over the previous one as well. We’re thinking of trading our CT200h (which has been a spectacularly reliable car after only having Volvos for the previous 15 years) for one as we need something a tad larger with more ground clearance. |
| My Lexus RX is 15 yrs old and highly reliable- always in the top consumer reports rankings |
