The premium-badged 2008 Acura RDX, combining sport sedan-like power and handling with the cargo versatility, high seating position and all-wheel-drive capability of an SUV, boasts a full arsenal of appeal. Upon its introduction for the 2007 model year the RDX’s only true competitor was the BMW X3, a vehicle that essentially had the compact premium SUV segment all to itself since its introduction for the 2004 model year. With new and upcoming entries from Audi, Infiniti, Mercedes and others, buyers will benefit from even more options.

GMC Yukon Hybrid. While compact hybrid cars are all the rage with commuters, not every family can afford to sacrifice the interior cargo and towing capacity afforded them by a full-size SUV. Just ask any parent whose job it is to pick up five kids and their gear from soccer practice, or load up the whole clan for a weekend retreat. It is for these families that GMC has created the Yukon Hybrid, a family-friendly off-road capable SUV with seating for eight passengers, a 6,200 pound tow rating and city fuel economy rivaling a four-cylinder Toyota Camry.

Ever since its introduction in 1992 the Jeep Grand Cherokee has sought to combine the often conflicting needs off-road confidence and on-road comfort and refinement. Now in its fourth generation the Grand Cherokee carries on as a five-seat SUV, equally comfortable driving around town as it is tackling the Rubicon trail.

When it was first introduced to the US, the Kia Sorento featured a traditional SUV body-on-frame design. Now in its 2nd generation the Sorento has morphed into a unibody crossover utility vehicle. Along with a fundamental shift in structure, the Sorento now features optional third-row seats, an aggressive new appearance and improved ride and handling.

With roots tracing back to World War Two, no manufacturer is more associated with go-anywhere, do-anything off-road capability than Jeep. Now, more than 60 years after its introduction, the definition of the Jeep brand is expanding.

Unlike previous Jeeps, the Patriot is based on a front-drive, unibody compact car platform that it shares with the Jeep Compass and the Dodge Caliber. Although mechanically similar to those vehicles, the Patriot is designed to be more capable off-road than either the Caliber or Compass.

The all new Patriot plows new ground for the Jeep brand in the compact SUV category. With good fuel economy, boxy Jeep styling and a starting price under $15,000, the Patriot offers an interesting package for people looking for an affordable SUV they can take off road.

The Cruze is the latest compact car from Chevrolet, the same brand that brought you the Cobalt and Cavalier before it. In many ways Chevy’s previous small car offerings struggled when compared to icons like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With the Cruze Chevrolet has stepped up its game, producing a car with the features, safety, style and efficiency needed to take on the best in class.

Acura MDX. Since its introduction in 2001 the Acura MDX has received acclaim for its comfortable ride, respectable off-pavement capability and manageable size, while the criticism revolved around its generic styling. For the second-generation MDX, Acura kicked the styling up a notch while at the same time improving on-road performance with forward-thinking technology. Like its predecessor, the seven-passenger MDX remains a family-friendly SUV, but a new 300-horsepower V6 and bold, angular design add a feeling of aggression that wasn’t present before.

Audi A4. There is something special about the way German cars are engineered. Take the Audi A4 Cabriolet, for example. As a four-seat convertible its job is to carry its occupants in breezy, sun-soaked comfort and at that it succeeds. Yet, it is equally happy rapidly finessing its way down a winding back road.

By combining a beautifully appointed interior, lively performance and classic good looks, the A4 Cabriolet offers a compelling package for fans of convertibles who also appreciate traditional German handling and design.

The Chevrolet Tahoe is the bestselling full-size SUV in America, and it was completely re-engineered for the 2007 model year. The new design includes revised exterior and interior styling, improved chassis and steering, and segment-leading fuel economy thanks to the new line of Active Fuel Management-equipped V8 engines. Chevrolet’s goal is to keep the Tahoe at the top of the full-size SUV sales charts.

The Tahoe has long had a lot going for it, including several first-place finishes in its class in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Survey. Competing against vehicles like the Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia, the new version brings a handsome exterior, luxury-level interior and markedly improved ride and handling to the party.
