2016 Mazda CX-5
Historically the Mazda CX-5 is one crossover that has appealed to both enthusiasts and family types. It doesn't weigh two tons, offers a manual transmission (in poverty spec, but still...), and looks faster than its competitors. Most importantly, the CX-5 can round a corner without wobbling like a Slinky at the top of the stairs. For the 2016 update, Mazda upgraded the in-cabin experience along with the requisite nips and tucks to the exterior. These updates and its existing dynamic charms make the CX-5 one of the CUVs we at Autoblog recommend the most to potential shoppers.Find this deal in your area

2017 Ford Escape
The 2017 Ford Escape is a big improvement on what was an already remarkable crossover, and the customer-focused changes pay dividends to the Escape faithful. The Escape gathers a nicer interior, a quieter ride, more powerful engines and more engine options, and rewarding handling into a package that costs less than before. The redesign is also quite handsome. It's all enough to make the Escape compete with the class leaders on equal footing.Find this deal in your area

2017 Kia Sportage
There are plenty of choices in the CUV market, so why pick the Sportage? For one, it's bigger than its predecessor, and space is something that CUV buyers value greatly. In addition, the Sportage sports a lighter, stiffer body, a redesigned suspension, and new engine tuning. The Sportage offers two powertrain options (a 2.4-liter and a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder) that have been tweaked for greater efficiency. While this front styling is polarizing, the competitive price and 18 percent greater cargo volume are appreciated.Find this deal in your area

2016 Nissan Rogue
For 2017, the Rogue gets some revised styling that brings it closer in line with the larger Murano. But other than some internal tweaks and a new hybrid model, this is basically the same Rogue that has been crushing Nissan sales records for a couple years now. It has the perfect balance of handsome looks, functional equipment, efficiency and value – sticking to the same formula that made the first-generation model so successful while offering the latest crop of creature comforts in a more modern package.Find this deal in your area

2017 Subaru Forester
The Forester was Subaru's best-selling vehicle in the US last year, and holds that title so far in 2016. A refresh to the Forester for the 2017 model year adds more tech, and updated face, and a quieter interior. Most significant among the updates is a an upgrade to Subaru's Eyesight safety system, but the tweaked styling isn't bad either. We'd be shocked if the updates weren't icing on the cake for buyers already flocking to the model.Find this deal in your area

2016 Jeep Cherokee
The Cherokee's unusual mug generated some controversy when it was launched, but the styling has aged well. In the meantime, the Cherokee is a strong seller for Jeep. Buyers appreciate the comfortable interior, the user-friendly UConnect system, and plenty of options to lux up your Cherokee to higher levels of comfort and refinement. Don't forget it's also one of the more capable offroaders on the list, a rarity in the CUV class.Find this deal in your area
