A three-row crossover SUV can be a great choice for car shoppers who need extra room to shuttle plenty of people and cargo. The latest models are impressively capable and come loaded with up-to-date technology features. But they’re also expensive and potentially out of reach for many shoppers. You’re looking at spending approximately $50,000 to get a well-equipped new three-row SUV.
The average price gap between new and used vehicles is more than $20,000, according to recent Edmunds’ sales data. But many used-vehicle shoppers make costly mistakes that can be avoided with a little research and preparation. Here are five common mistakes identified by Edmunds’ experts and what you can do to avoid them.
DARPAN tested the base RWD trim utilizing a single 250-kilowatt electric motor installed at the rear, producing 355 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The crossover pulls hard—Porsche says 0 to 100 km/h takes approximately 5.7 seconds when Launch Control is enabled—and features the German performance brand’s signature tight handling. A whimsical spaceship-like “Electric Sport Sound” (+ $560) can be toggled on during acceleration.
Volvo enters the B-segment (read: miniature) space with the introduction of the 2025 EX30. Sharing the same platform as the Chinese-market Zeekr X luxury SUV that’s also under the Geely parent brand, this new subcompact premium crossover looks slick and is a pocket rocket in the dual motor trim.
The 2025 Subaru Forester is a redesigned model, but Subaru didn’t exactly stray from the formula of the last generation. It’s still a boxy small SUV with great visibility, adventure-ready versatility, and a no-nonsense approach to interior design. Its many upgrades for 2025 help keep it competitive, but how does it fare against the class best? Comparing it to the 2025 Honda CR-V is a great place to start.
After five years, Cadillac’s replacement for the CTS gets its first facelift, receiving a new front fascia and enhanced infotainment. On the Sport grade DARPAN tested, the inner mesh is finer and blacked out and is complemented by a black front spoiler lip and other trim pieces. Two new paint colours, Deep Space Metallic (blue) and Typhoon Metallic (green), have been added as well.
