With a rugged exterior and a rich-looking interior, the Telluride wouldn't appear out of place in a Land Rover showroom. Of course, the largest Kia also flawlessly executes its core mission, which is to comfortably ferry families and their cargo. The 2022 Kia Telluride separates itself from the herd of three-row, mid-size crossovers with its handsome looks, unexpected luxuriousness, and unrivaled value. The optional Sasquatch package-beefier tires and other enhancements-help make the 2022 Bronco the ultimate off-road SUV and earn it a spot on both our 10Best and Editors' Choice lists. Neither are very fuel-efficient or sound particularly pleasant, but they're quick and responsive. All Broncos have all-wheel drive and either a turbo-four or a twin-turbo V-6. Inside, the durable materials and simple design recall the original, old-school Bronco, but the interior aesthetic looks cheap on upper trim levels. While the Jeep Wrangler has ruled the off-road world as the de facto SUV for people seeking a vehicle with bona fide trail-eating cred-even if they never plan to tackle a boulder-strewn two-track-the Bronco is similarly configurable with a convertible top, two- and four-door body styles, and removable doors. The sheer bandwidth of its capabilities is what makes Ford's off-roader such a hit. The 2022 Ford Bronco rocks a nostalgia-inducing design along with both civil on-road driving manners and big-time trail-tackling ability. The big-brother Bronco has greater capabilities, but the 2022 Bronco Sport is more than just a superficial spin-off.

The standard three-cylinder engine is pokier but it's way more fuel-efficient, too. All-wheel drive is standard, but the potent turbo-four engine is reserved for the top-of-the-line Badlands trim-a legit off-road rival to the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. While the cabin is marred by some unattractive materials, and its back seat isn't very big, the incorporation of useful features such as hidden storage compartments and a slide-out workbench are unique touches.

Its truck-like shape pays dividends inside where headroom and cargo space are generous. Styled like a baby version of the full-size Ford Bronco-itself is a retro rendition of classic Broncos-the smaller Sport attracts attention. The 2022 Ford Bronco Sport is one of the better compact crossovers for mixing urban living and outdoorsy weekend adventures, earning it a spot on our Editors' Choice list. The Kona is one of the smaller offerings in the subcompact SUV segment, so it gives up cargo and passenger space to some of its larger rivals, but we think the trade-off for the Hyundai's compact package and fun-to-drive nature more than makes up for those shortcomings.

Sticking to Hyundai's value-forward approach, the Kona comes with a long list of standard features which only grows as you move through the more expensive trims-the top few of which get downright posh. Two four-cylinder engines are offered: a 2.0-liter four, which is admittedly pretty poky, and a more desirable turbocharged 1.6-liter four that delivers a lot more punch. The subcompact Kona is, simply put, a great package that blends carlike on-road behavior with bold styling, a dose of practicality, and an elevated driving position we like it so much we gave it an Editors' Choice award. When an SUV delivers as crisp a driving experience as the 2022 Hyundai Kona, it's hard to get hung up on the usual anti-crossover sentiment-so we won't.
