You can’ have used luxury SUVs under $40,000 without the Lexus NX

Drivers and Edmunds agree about the 2018 Lexus NX: comfortable, quiet, and luxurious. There is plenty of room for adults in the NX, even though it looks small from the outside.

Edmunds estimates that the 2018 NX would cost around $190 a month in gas, which is below the average for this category. With 25 mpg combined, drivers should be able to get 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

Included for 2018 is the Lexus Safety System+, which offers systems like forward collision warning and lane keep assist. Blind-Spot Monitor works well on the NX, and Lexus Enform Safety Connect offers helpful roadside assistance. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration gave the 2018 Lexus NX a five-star safety rating.

BMW’s X1 is an excellent used luxury SUV under $40,000

The 2018 BMW X1 has plenty to offer buyers in a small package. Edmunds says the turbo engine is responsive and keeps driving fun. It also gets 23 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, good enough for 26 mpg combined. Passengers will have plenty of space in both rows, and the cargo area is good enough to fit everyone’s luggage.

Inside, the X1 is as luxurious as promised. The 40/20/40-split rear seat increases the space for more oversized cargo or oddly-shaped cargo situations. Edmunds estimates it will cost about $180 in gasoline to power the X1, which is about average for the compact SUV category.

Speed Limit Info and City Collision Mitigation are some of the best safety features. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration gave the 2018 X1 a five-star safety rating, and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety gave it high scores on its independent testing. That makes the X1 a used luxury SUV under $40,000 that’s also safe.

Don’t overlook the reasonably priced Acura RDX

Even with the standard V6 engine on the 2018 Acura RDX, it offers strong acceleration and good fuel economy. 23 mpg combined worked out to 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. An elevated rear seat gives a better view and offers comfortable seats for passengers. An extra-wide cargo area makes the RDX great for families or those with plenty of luggage.

Edmunds estimated the 2018 RDX would cost about $208 a month in fuel, which is just above the $200 average. Collision Mitigation Braking and Warning and Lane Keeping Assist Systems work well on the Acura SUV. Adaptive Cruise Control was also helpful in keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

Both the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety gave the 2018 Acura RDX high scores. In fact, the IIHS made it a Top Safety Pick for 2018.
