The Bottom Line: Still among the best all-around seven-passenger luxury SUVs, the 2008 Acura MDX never disappoints (except perhaps in its looks), but is due for some cabin tech updates and a little more power to match its handling. Read review

The Bottom Line: With the 2007 FJ Cruiser, Toyota scores with a styling statement that has the substance to back up its retrocool image. It offers on-road comfort and good space with serious off-road ability. At 17mpg, fuel economy is its weakness. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid has the practical configuration of a small SUV, along with the low emissions and good fuel economy of a hybrid. Its cabin electronics are up-to-date, although not extraordinary. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander offers great technology without getting too expensive while striking a near-perfect compromise between emissions, power, and mileage. It's a practical car for a wide variety of uses. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line is the cheapest hybrid SUV you can buy--in more ways than one. We like its revamped exterior and we can live with the spartan cabin, but its gas mileage falls short. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Nissan Rogue doesn't rate highly as a tech car due to its lack of any major cabin gadgets, but we like its general usability and its continuously variable transmission. Read review

The Bottom Line: We failed to find much that was special about our 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and even with few options, it was expensive. Its hybrid system is its best feature, justifying most of the price. The Limited model is nicer in every way and can be optioned with navigation and a better stereo. Read review

The Bottom Line: The Lexus RX 350 is a luxury SUV that delivers a stylish, sporty ride. A powerful--and relatively economical--engine endows Lexus's flagship truck with solid performance, although the AWD version is recommended for anything away from the asphalt. A collection of optional cabin tech makes the RX 350 a wired ride. Read review

The Bottom Line: The Mazda CX-9 is a sporty SUV that packs a lot of space inside but it both looks and performs like a much smaller vehicle. However, the cabin tech lacks polish and needs to be better integrated. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited is a well-equipped crossover with some advanced cabin technology and a smooth power train. Aside from some questionable cabin materials, the Highlander is a worthy contender in a competitive segment. Read review

The Bottom Line: Although we really liked the 2007 Mazda CX-7 during our test period, it wasn't outstanding in any particular way. It came equipped with a good stereo system and good navigation, and proved practical for getting around, and even fun to drive at times. Read review

The Bottom Line: The cabin electronics and interface for the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI's infotainment system are old and have fallen far behind today's standards, but the diesel engine makes the car drive well and get incredible fuel economy for a full-size SUV. Read review

The Bottom Line: With its stylish exterior and interior design and a wealth of useful tech features, the 2007 Honda CR-V is a positive evolution for the popular urban SUV. If you're into digital audio, just make sure you bring your iPod. Read review

The Bottom Line: This latest child in the Yukon family promises a lot, but fails to fully deliver as a SUV or a family car--especially for $54,000. There are more powerful, plush, and/or affordable SUVs available. Read review

The Bottom Line: We would have been thrilled with this car two years ago, but the competition has caught up, and in some cases surpassed Acura. A lot of the tech comes straight from the 2005 Acura RL model with little improvement in the interceding two years. Read review

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Acura RDX is a good value, with practical interior space and very good drivability. Techies will delight in its cabin systems, but luddites will be overwhelmed by the many buttons and voice commands. Read review
