The site specialized in information about new and used cars as well as reviews made by experts and owners, Kelley Blue Book (KBB), published the Top 10 of the best SUVs of 2013 priced for under $25000, taking into account its initial value, the cost of owning and maintaining the vehicle for five years and its residual value after that period.

If you need more space and you are planning to change your vehicle for a new SUV but your budget limit is $25000, you should check below the list of the best ones suggested by the KBB.

The Top 10 was led by the redesigned Honda CR-V because of its 'outstanding reliability and exceptional ease to operate it', said Jack R. Nerad, Executive Director of Market Analysis for Kelley Blue Book. In the last position is the Buick Encore, which is a worthy sister of the Buick Enclave and which was produced at scale and at a cheaper price. The cheapest new SUV on this rank is the Mazda CX-5, which has a base price of $21,195 only.

The appearance of the 2013 Honda CR-V clearly remembers its predecessor but with a more aggressive look that makes it feel bigger. Honda increased the trunk space capacity for this new model too.

Summary


Four of these SUVs are Japanese, three from USA, two from Korea and one from Germany. Once again, Japanese vehicles at the top of automotive rankings. The cheapest one in the list you can get is the Mazda CX-7 and the more expensive is the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The Jeep Wrangler has the highest residual value after 60 months and the Hyundai Santa Fe again, is the more expensive but is also the cheapest one to own and maintain for 5 years.

Which one you like the most? Personally, as a former and satisfied owner of a Buick Rendezvous, I just fell in love with the Buick Encore and I think my next research and post is going to be about this sporty and little luxury American SUV. Its base price seems fair and the interior equipment is amazing too.

I agree with you John about what you say of the Buick Encore, it looks gorgeous, the perfect SUV for a girl, to be honest, I have not seen it on the street so far
There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty or expensive and cheerful. NYC Style!

As promised, I was researching about the Buick Encore and wrote an article and get some nice pictures of this nice SUV in case. I think I'm kind of in love with this Buick. My next purchase in a couple of years I guess

Reliability first! sorry, but if I were you, I'd choose or buy the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4, if you don't believe me, ask your mechanic, he is going to tell you: "next time you are going to buy a car, buy a freaking Toyota if you don't want to visit me in a long time"
Just be baby.

The Jeep Wrangler shouldn't be on this list, that's a different type of vehicle, in fact, I don't think the Wrangler has competence because this crossover is unique in its kind.

In terms of price, styling and equipment offered, the Hyundai Santa Fe sport is the king of the SUVs right now in the US market.
