Hyundai Earns Top Marks in SUV Class

What Auto Brand Has the Best SUVs in 2023?

Unless you’re someone who has enough wealth to buy a new car every couple of years (and let’s be honest… most of us aren’t), the next new car you buy is one that is going to have to last you several years at least. It’s a major financial decision, and here at Hyundai of Bellingham, we understand that.

We also understand that because of this, it’s extremely important to make sure that the vehicle you buy is the best one available. After all, it isn’t like buying a can of paint and then realizing you don’t like how it looks in your living room. You can always swap to a new can of paint but it isn’t so easy to just swap your car for another one. You want to feel confident that the car you are buying is one of the very best on the market.

Does Hyundai Make Good SUVs?

Now, these days, buying a new vehicle usually means buying a new SUV. After all, it’s the most popular form of vehicle in the United States. They live up to that popularity as well, offering plenty of space, utility and versatility. They are great vehicles for large families and couples alike.

So, if you’re looking for a new SUV, you can’t go wrong with a Hyundai. Of course, you don’t just have to take a Hyundai dealership’s word for it. Hyundai was actually named the best SUV brand for 2023 by U.S. News and World Report. The publication declared Hyundai the winner of the SUV category with a score of 8.44 out of 10.

The highest ranked SUV of the bunch was the Palisade (2023 starting MSRP of $35,900), with a score of 8.7 out of 10. It was recognized for its V6 engine offering 291 horsepower. Not far behind it was the Tucson (2023 starting MSRP of $26,900). Nearly all Hyundai models earned an 8.0 out of 10 or higher in their rating. Hyundai was one of only four brands to earn an overall SUV score over 8/10. Rounding out the bottom of the list were domestic brands… Chevy, Jeep and then GMC in last place.
