- Hyundai Tucson: Achieved a 95.5% reliability rating in a 2024 survey, with low fault rates (4% bodywork/non-engine electrics) and affordable average repair costs (£83).

Brand Reliability Trends
- Toyota/Lexus: Frequently top reliability surveys, though the Mazda CX-60 (a rare outlier) scored poorly at 68.8% with suspension and electrical issues.
- Honda: Both CR-V and HR-V dominate reliability rankings across sources.
- Buick Envision: Ranked #1 by CarMax for quiet interiors and low ownership costs.
For large SUVs, avoid the Mazda CX-60 (high fault rates) and diesel Ford Kugas (44% fault rate). Prioritize models from Honda, Hyundai, and Kia for consistency.
