The Best Used SUVs Over $25,000 in Quebec in 2026

The Best Used SUVs Over $25,000 in Quebec in 2026

When a client has a budget exceeding $25,000, the possibilities become much more interesting. It is then possible to obtain a newer vehicle, better equipped, with lower mileage, and often still protected by a manufacturer’s warranty.

At Auto Durocher, we analyze the used vehicle market on a daily basis. Our ranking is based on observed reliability, resale value, cost of ownership, comfort, safety, and real value for money for Quebec consumers.

Our Top 5 Best Used SUVs Over $25,000

Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 remains the industry benchmark when it comes to reliability and resale value.

Why choose it?

  • Exceptional reliability
  • Fuel consumption among the best in its category
  • Very high resale value
  • Generally affordable maintenance
  • Strong demand on the used market

The compromise

The RAV4 is often more expensive than several comparable competitors. You are paying a premium for the Toyota reputation.

Our opinion

If you plan to keep your vehicle for several years, the Toyota RAV4 remains an excellent investment.

Mazda CX-5 2023-2024

In our opinion, the Mazda CX-5 represents one of the best compromises on the market.

Why choose it?

  • Very high reliability
  • Excellent resale value
  • More enjoyable driving dynamics than many competitors
  • Premium interior
  • Very safe

The CX-5 particularly stands out for its driving comfort and build quality.

What we like

For many clients, it offers a more refined experience than a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V.

Our opinion

If you love to drive and are looking for a comfortable, safe, and reliable vehicle, the Mazda CX-5 is hard to beat.

Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V remains one of the most popular vehicles in Canada.

Why choose it?

  • Very good reliability
  • High resale value
  • Reasonable fuel consumption
  • Great versatility

What you need to know

In our experience, Honda has lost a bit of its technological edge over the last few years.

Compared to certain competitors:

  • Fewer features for the price
  • More conservative interior
  • Comfort is sometimes inferior to that of the Mazda CX-5

Our opinion

The CR-V remains a safe purchase for buyers who prioritize reliability and resale value.

Hyundai Tucson 2023-2024

The Hyundai Tucson is probably one of the best values for money currently available.

Why choose it?

  • Modern design
  • Completely redesigned model
  • A lot of equipment
  • Advanced technology
  • Competitive price

Its advantage

For the same budget, it is often possible to get more options than with a Toyota or a Honda.

The compromise

Its resale value is generally lower than that of the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V.

Our opinion

For buyers looking for the maximum amount of equipment for their budget, the Tucson is hard to ignore.

Kia Sportage 2023-2024

The Kia Sportage shares many qualities with the Hyundai Tucson.

Why choose it?

  • Modern look
  • Numerous technologies
  • Good equipment level
  • Competitive price

What you need to know

Depreciation is generally more significant than with Toyota, Honda, or Mazda.

Our opinion

This depreciation becomes an advantage for the used vehicle buyer.

Mazda CX-9

Our personal favorite.

Honda Pilot

The compromise

The price.

Used Highlanders remain highly sought after and are often more expensive than their competitors.

Luxury SUVs: A Great Idea Second-Hand?

The answer is often yes.

Audi Q3 and Q5

Very pleasant to drive and often much more affordable after a few years of depreciation.

Mercedes-Benz GLA

Excellent interior finish and prestigious image.

BMW X3 and X5

Exceptional driving experience and road manners among the best in the industry.

What you need to know

Steep depreciation works in favor of the used vehicle buyer.

However, you must plan for a higher maintenance budget than that of a traditional vehicle.

Brakes, tires, servicing, and repairs generally cost much more than on a Toyota, Honda, or Mazda.
