Used SUVs for Sale Under $20,000

Under $20,000, the mid-size SUV becomes a real option

At this budget, the mid-size crossover stops being a compromise and becomes a choice in its own right. Where lower tiers point mainly toward the compact, this mark opens the door to mid-size models, roomier and sometimes fitted with a third row. Understanding what truly separates a compact from a mid-size helps you decide which of the two best fits your reality.

Compact or mid-size: the real differences

These two categories differ in more than size. What actually changes day to day:

• Rear-seat room: the mid-size offers more legroom, an asset with adult passengers or child seats.
• Cargo volume: a mid-size trunk more easily swallows luggage or bulky equipment.
• The third row: offered on some mid-size models, it helps out for occasional passengers.
• Manoeuvrability: the compact regains the edge in the city and when parking, with a footprint easier to place.

Neither category is better in absolute terms: it comes down to your number of passengers and your trips. The body-style filter and the number-of-seats filter help target the category that suits you.

What to check on the test drive of a mid-size

On a larger SUV, a few points deserve particular attention on the test drive: access to the third row if present, how easily the seats fold, rear visibility and the ride comfort of a longer vehicle. Every SUV is presented with its Carfax report, which traces previous owners, recorded servicing and reported accidents, and goes through the 160-point inspection performed by our technicians. An advisor can go through these references with you.
