5 Best Pre-Owned Crossovers You Can Buy Now

We love the last generation Santa Fe Sport with its available potent turbocharged engine that now has 240 horsepower down from 265 (but with better off-the-line grunt and improved mpgs). Combine that with a roomy first and second row and a robust standard feature set that includes Bluetooth, sliding second row seats, a color infotainment system (4.3 inches with an optional vivid 8.0-inch version), and available panoramic moonroof. New for 2017 are available hands-free power liftgate and adaptive cruise control with automatic emergency braking.There's also a ton of rear cargo space, especially with the 2nd row folded flat. It's a great family crossover that you can get for less than $20,000.

There are multiple reasons why the last RAV4 was such a hot seller. It's not polarizing in the least and appeals to a wide swath of car shoppers looking for a roomy crossover that's reliable, safe, and easy to drive. That's the RAV4 in a nutshell. For 2017, it also gets excellent safety measures including including a forward collision mitigation system, lane departure warning, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control. You can get your hands on a top-trim Limited for the low to mid $20Ks.

The Ford Edge is a crossover that stands out thanks to "edgy" styling that's not muted like so many of its competitors. But it's not all show, folks, because the Edge is spacious with room for three adults across the second row seats, not something all crossovers can pull off. There are also three engine options, including a powerful 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 in higher trims. Add the superb Ford SYNC3 system, a huge boot for great storage space, and great front buckets for those tough commutes. You can get a 2017 Edge Titanium that's pretty much loaded for around $20,000, a real value for a crossover this good.

If it's space you need, look no further than the Pilot. It's so big inside, you can lay sheets of drywall flat on its load floor. Plus, there's real room for seven passengers, the 360-visibility is remarkably good thanks to huge amounts of glass. The stock 280 horsepower V6 is powerful, and the Pilot happens to drive way smaller than it is, giving agility to the driver that's unexpected for the size of the vehicle. Good thing you can get a used 2017 Honda Pilot for the mid to high $20K mark, not bad for one of the best big crossovers out there.

If there's one unibody Crossover/SUV that's actually shockingly good off-road, it's the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Not only does it get Trail-Rated in higher trim levels, even the base Grand Cherokee Sport is very capable while still remaining very civilized on-road. For 2017, the Grand Cherokee gets a rearview camera and rear parking sensors standard. Three available engines in 2017 will satisfy anyone: a non-turbo V6, a V6 diesel, and a booming HEMI V8 that'll blow the doors off almost any other crossover. You can get a 2017 model for around the mid-$20K mark, and you'll have one of the most capable off-road family vehicles around.
