Consumer Reports has named three used luxury SUVs that it recommends avoiding. These vehicles are more versatile and feature-packed than ever, offering a more capable alternative to crossovers. However, Consumer Reports warns that for every good SUV, there will be a bad one at the other end of the spectrum. The report highlights the Cadillac XT5's reliability, with owners reporting numerous costly complaints about powertrain and electrical components. The article also highlights the Lexus NX for greater reliability and visibility, and is on par with the 2024 Buick Envision in terms of practicality. While the magazine praises the Explorer for its classier image, major complaints include premature transmission failure and faulty infotainment system.
