That equinox, it does have a adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. They can be turned on by pressing the buttons on the left of the steering wheel. It’s a premier trim! You can’t say it doesn’t have those features just because you don’t know how to turn them on.

Not impressed you guys did not include how is the exterior body of any vehicle and Tiguan has cheap interiors?? Lol

Love my Tiguan! Definitely has hints of the luxury of an Audi!

I drove all of them, and bought the Tiguan. Seemed to be the best quality overall and drive the best.

I am glad you weren't afraid to pick a winner instead of being vague. After the CR-V, I would put the RAV4 and CX-5 (not sure in what order) above the other 3 that were tested here, but I recognize you can't just get your hands on all of these vehicles at one time. Good job!

Rogue for me

They were pretty harsh on the Tiguan! You can shut off auto stop/start and he was probably in eco mode. I found the Tiguan really refined and fun.

I don't care what you say I'm still with Nissan

I got the 2019 nissan rogue sv awd tech package about 1 month ago and honestly its really good for me i love it the panoramic sunroof is so nice steering is nice and easy suspension is nice i can go on about a few more things i like it over all 4.5/5 for me the only downfall like they said is the engine is not soo powerful. I wish it had upwards of 200 hp but again my wife loves it and i am not really racing this car

I had a test drive, with crv 2017, Nissan x trail (rogue), and finally the equinox took my heart. Safety features are really good,yes it has lane assist in which these guys said that it doesn't have, faster, very quiet cabin noise, quiet engine, smooth ride compared to all of the car's shown, awesome bose sound system, compared to honda's sound system which is far inferior. I beg to disagree about rear passenger space which these guys presented which in reality it has good leg space, not as spacious as the crv but sufficient enough to have the passengers a comfortable ride. The cargo space is a bit smaller compared to the other cars, but the Equinox have a storage area at the bottom of the boot which stores and hides small things and kept my main boot neat. Equinox also have a massive panoramic sunroof same with the rogue. Downside is the Equinox doesn’t have an Adaptive cruise control. But over-all the Equinox 2018 is the best.

Can we trust a car journalist if he pronounces Nissan as Nissand?

You guys are high! I have had a rogue and a CRV and they are typical Japanese CUV’s. I have had a 2018 Tiguan that I have had this CUV for 6 months and would not trade it for any of those other ones.

If you plan on buying one test drive it,sit in the vehicle for an hour and you will realize that the Tiguan is miles ahead in terms of power,quality,handling,practicality. Volkswagen now offers a very long warranty as well if you are worried about reliability.

My wife have a Rogue this year, drove for 2 hours city/highway, the average 33.8 mpg, the trick is with CVT when driving don't push the pedal down and don't pass 2000 rpm and you will save gas, Nissan have modified big time this transmission, you can go almost 80 mph without pass 2000 rpm, contrary to altima 2012 70 mph max at 2000 rpm, Roque have become the 1 sales SUV of all the time unbelievable, pushed for last year sales 840000 world wide

Tiguan #1

That dude looks like he flew across the country with his head out the window and then filmed this.

Test drove a tiguan SE and an equinox LT today. Tiguan better in every way except gas mileage

Been considering the Honda as my family SUV. This comprehensive comparison really convinced me. As you said, it may be boring but does what it should. Thanks guys!

We love our 2017 CRV Great balance of Performance, Efficiency, Refinement, Safety, And Practicality. Averaging 28 miles to gallon mixed driving. Thanks for the review and comparison Auto Guide.

Just drive what you like and want people. Life’s too short to drive a recommendation😁✌🏼

A couple of big errors when discussing the Tiguan. The reviewer complains about the ride but fails to mention the premium model being tested has the large 19-inch wheels which will have a harsher ride as opposed to the standard 17 inch wheels. Also, complains about the transmission shifts but fails to discuss the car's various modes (eco, normal, sport), reviewer could have been driving in the economy (eco) mode. Lastly, about the car "feeling cheap" inside is purely a subjective objection. German cars are known for having a more "Spartan" yet highly functional interior.

We just bought a rogue about 2 weeks ago, after having other Nissan cars we find it pretty nice!

40k for an equinox??..come on guys..you can buy a fully loaded nissan murano SL,,v6 engine,more roomy,better interior..nicest car.

Glad to know we get review videos from people who have no idea about good vehicles vs bad ones

I just got the 2019 CR-V EX. ABSOLUTELY amazing! Best car I’ve had.

I would prefer a comparison for the Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and Honda compact SUVs. The RAV4 is the biggest seller. Which fans had these as favorites?

Wow the new guy is not that bad... Impressed keep having him

The Tig’s interior felt cheap?! I’m sorry but having sat in all these vehicles the Tiguan has the best interior, both in materials and ergonomics.

Good reviews, but I'd still go with the Rogue because I don't prefer four cylinder turbo engines. My opinion is that the Nissan's i4 is more dependable. I would bet that in 15 years, there will be more of these Nissan Rogues still on the road vs the other crossovers.

the dude with the brown hair looks like the bad guy from home alone lol

Imo the Tiguan is the best looking second best is the Nissan in looks the Honda and Chevy I just can’t stand the way they look imo

The TIGUAN is a great vehicle, the interior is not cheap at all. Also it’s fun to drive. This guy simply just has something against Volkswagen.

Equinox has no back seat space??! What? That backseat is huge and has tons of leg room!

Competition is great. I would say _none_ of these is a bad choice. They're all really great cars with tons of positives and only minor negatives associated with each. For instance, Rogue has the dreaded CVT, yet is clearly the Rolls Royce quiet ride of the group. Tough trade offs and decisions. I can see why they all sell so well.

Just bought a tiguan se 4motion and it by far has the most premium interior out of any of these. CRV is very solid but your assessment of the cheap feel of the tiguan has me unable to take you seriously

How'd I know the CR-V would win before I even watched the entire review? I would've liked to have seen the Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, or Mazda CX5 to level the playing field.

Where are these prices coming from? In San Antonio the loaded rogue and loaded VW are both $25-$26k

I heard more complaints than good things. Literally; every compliment had a criticism right after.

11:33 Really need a powerful engine? Most people who buy these probably don’t even know what type of engine it is. Yes the Rogue could use more power, but Nissan has done a great job creating a car that people want to buy.

Basically always a thumbs up. A little contrived haha but thank you guys but damn yikky music at the end kind of hurt the enjoyment of the next few minutes to get it out of the back of my ear. PLEASE, guys

I'm staying with the equinox

I feel like automakers are just trying to jump on the crossover bandwagon and rushing their models out there

All the crossovers here are well equipped safe and reliable, but Nissan Rogue for me, most comfortable and Nissan usually has a lot of rebates on the rogue (at least around me)

Nissan : infotainment system ... Is from 2013 Chevy : is good VW : I'll buy if huge discount Honda : touring trim only ... awd ... 👍 ...

One thing exciting about the CR-V is when you have the auto brake hold on and take off your seatbelt because you dropped your cigarette and you are in the middle of a busy intersection making a left turn.

I like the Honda too. But I can wait to see it go against the new 2019 Toyota RAV4.

Nissan sold 400,000 Rogues in 2017. While I agree that the engine leaves a lot to be desired, his comment that it won't "sway the buyers" isn't based on fact. I would love to see a turbo-charged engine as an option in the Rogue.

Crossovers sit up higher and provides more head room compared to sedans. They are just tall wagons which people don't want to admit.

We had them all out for a drive and went with the 2018 CRV Touring. Nissan was a close second choice. The Chev was last because of uncomfortable seats and rough ride.

I rented an Equinox with 150 miles on it so basically I got the car brand new and broke it. I put 2500 miles over 2 weeks in California so I feel that I really got to know the car. Pros: Power (pleasantly surprised very punchy) Roomy and Comfortable (Again drove it 2500 miles in 2 weeks) Practical in every way. Cons: Fuel efficiency (Not the best not bad enough to be a deal breaker) Cheap interior (I babied this rental and felt honoured to beak it in. That said I was shocked at how soon things started squeaking and rattling, fans whistling occasionally, infotainment refused to connect one night then worked fine the next day) Verdict: Great rental as it does the job and has a good room, but I would never buy this car. No experience with the others. Own a Forester 19.

And the winner is CX-5 thank you auto guide

10:38 that's when the video starts. thank me later....

Equinox front passenger seat folds flat for a class leading 81 cu ft of cargo holding. The 2.0T can be had for $24-26K with discounts making it the least expensive, powerful option here.

Tested all these including Mazda equivalent. My personal preference is the Honda CRV. No car is perfect but this was the best of the lot

Can we get a review on the Mitsubishi outlander Phev?

Car shopping and the Tiguan is the nicest by far. Interior and exterior. Maybe it’s not a race car but it’s honestly the only attractive looking one out of all of this. Why do the others look so nerdy hahaha

No cr- v to many blind spots just like the rav4 I luv my equinox.

Also Subaru Forester XT trim turbo engine cuv etc basically

Who is the new guy with the Futurama-Philip-J-Fry hair horn? :-D

Wow they really dislike the VW... Didn’t even review the infotainment

The guy said the tiguan has the lowest fuel economy and is unacceptable Is he talking about how low it is compared to others or what? Because one of these cars is going to have the lowest fuel economy Despite how high it could be.... like that’s just facts bro

I would take the either the Honda or Toyota as for as resale value goes since they tend to hold their value more. I use to own a 2016 CR-V with AWD and it handle poorly in snows as the rear end felt loose and unstable when you drive over snows. My 2015 Rave4 AWD which I had sold and got the 2016 CR-V on the other hand doesn't have no same issues so I went back to toyota aquire a Toyota Rav4. Not sure if anyone owning a CR-V experiencing the same issue as I have but tires on these two vehicles I've own are both nearly new.

Stunned that u guys didn't include Mazda CX-5!!!!

Thanks for the review, virgins.

I 've been looking at this class of car for months now we are planning a baby next year. the CRV keeps winning in all categories gas is number one for us. Maybe the new RAV 4 can change that but if it doesn't have the android auto that would be a huge let down. Toyata hasnt made a good redesign since the Corolla and Highlander(needs a new one next year)

RAV4, $1500 off (loan, buy, or lease) until 4/2. I'd look at the Hybrid SE, 32 Combined, change those OE tires though.

The CRV wins on handling. It’s steering is responsive, precise, effortless. Designed by the same team that designed the steering for the 2017 Acura NSX.

Definetly Honda CR-V!!! I love when started launch...

I test drove the CRV 1.5 turbo engine, and i felt like it needed more force, it felt lack, and drove the Rogue and that engine just felt good. In terms of engines i prefer the Rogue.

I personally really like the Rouge but I won't be buying another vehicle for 2 more years. Hopefully by then Nissan puts in a bit bigger engine. 200 HP in the Rouge would be nice.

Toyota Rav4, Mazda CX-5, Ford Focus and Dodge Journey, Mitsubishi, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson and maybe Subaru Crosstek if you love Manual. You missed more than you had. Oh well, my Dad has a CR-V and he loves it, but I would personally prefer the CX-5 after an Infotainment upgrade comes along.

If that Rogue had decent power I would own one. I drove it and loved it but felt the power was pretty horrendous. Looking at the turbo Santa Fe now

How are these picked? RAV4? Forester? CX-5?

Wow, I can totally understand the dislikes for this video. The reviewers come across as tech hipsters, whilst ignoring the cars with the best infotainment...

My wife and I were seriously considering a 2018 CR-V, but then we started to hear about problem with oil dilution. Not wanting to take the risk, we will most likely going for a 2018 Rogue SV with premium package.

Tiguan is the best

Chevy Equinox takes them all 252 HP.

The short guy reminds me of booger from the revenge of the nerds 😆

Where's the CX-5 and the RAV4? Anyway you can't go wrong with the CR-V. I liked the two-tone interior of the Equinox

I’m happy with my 2016 Nissan Rogue sv. Got it for 13.8k.

I really wish honda would have turbocharged the 2.4

I love love love my Honda 2018 Crv EX.

Do another next year with the new rav4 and it will be game over for everyone !

Why don't you mention the reliabilty history or anticipated reliability of each brand or model when comparing cars? I'd go with the Honda just for its reliability over the other brands.

Honda CR-V...The King!

Looked @ them all, almost got the Honda BUT..I bought a Forester =))

I test drove this vs the Golf vs the Tiguan Limited. The Golf was easily the nicest drive but the lease prices were awful. The Tiguan Limited was second - a Golf on stilts and was really nice to drive. My last car was a VW Beetle 2.0 Turbo with a 6 speed DSG transmission and it was the best most fun car I ever leased - a funky GTI detuned one might say. The Tiguan Limited has the same great engine but an ordinary 6 speed auto. Not in the same ball park as my beetle but till pretty good. The new Tiguan was bigger but not better than the Limited. On one start at a stop-light, it seemed like it went to sleep. I lost a second before it moved, or so it seemed. If that was due to turbo-lag, it was unacceptable. Anyway, I went with the Tiguan Limited. It is not based on VW's MQB platform, so it is dated. OTOH, it was easily the cheapest option, and I'm liking it a lot.

These days it's been all about these three models when it comes to choosing the best midsize SUV: Honda CR-V vs Subaru Forester vs Mazda CX-5. Forget all the other crossovers.

Where is Hyundai tucson or mazda cx5?

You guys should have included a Mazda CX-5 to this comparison.

Nice review, and a great crop of CUV's. Personally, I'm going to wait for the 2019 rav4!

No Hyundai Tucson? No Mazda, no Toyota?? Yah.....I can see why this video has so many dislikes.

I have a CRV and I love it.

What about the murano? With the panoramic moonroof cooled seats and 260 hp it out classes all the 5- seaters here. The murano is really a luxury competitor so it wins hands down on that front; not to mention it looks like a sporty, futuristic concept car. So you feel passionate about the looks. But it has an engine tomatch those sporty looks: 260hp moves this mid-sized suv faster than most of the lighter cumpetition at 0-60 in just 7. 0!

The unbiased order would be Honda VW Nissan Chevy

The Sexy Equinox ;)

Really this guy sounds funny

I just want to hear him say "Suffering Succotash" 😹😹😹

They forgot to mention the VW has the best warranty!

The CR-V and Tiguan are the only ones that I will choose on your list the Kia Sorento, Jeep Cherokee and Mazda are my favorites
