Forbes: Toyota RAV4 Best Bang For Buck SUV

Best SUV For The Bucks: Toyota RAV4 (1/2)
Base Price: $20,300
Toyota gives buyers a ton of value with its affordable, entry-level RAV4. Fresh from an overhaul, the RAV4 is more modern than competitors such as Honda's CR-V and Ford's Escape. While the Escape and CR-V only seat five, the RAV4 can be a five- or seven-passenger vehicle. The RAV4's entry-level, four-cylinder engine is more powerful than the CR-V's and Escape's, and its optional V-6 has 269 hp, compared with 193 hp on the Escape's optional V-6.
Best of all, the RAV4 is the most reliable car on the market. Excluding cars headed for discontinuation or replacement, it is the only vehicle with Consumer Reports' highest-possible "predicted reliability" rating and five out of five stars in J.D. Power's "overall quality" and "overall dependability" assessments.
