Mercedes-Benz takes home the subcompact luxury SUV award

One of the things that Kelley Blue Book liked so much about the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA is its affordability. The GLA starts at a very reasonable $36,400. That doesn’t include a destination charge of $1,050, but it puts the GLA below other luxury competitors in its class. Kelley Blue Book was particularly impressed with the fact that this Mercedes-Benz still felt like a Mercedes-Benz despite its cheap price tag. It “has the features, driving manners, safety, and technology that buyers – even buyers on a more limited budget – expect from a Mercedes.”

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime is Kelley Blue Book’s choice for plug-in hybrid vehicle

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle is a hybrid SUV that you can plug in to charge. In addition, it can make 302 hp and go 40 mpg, which makes it an attractive choice for those who drive a lot and don’t want to rely solely on fuel or electricity. It can go up to 600 miles on a combination of electricity and gas, making it a dream for a road trip. Kelley Blue Book also loves how roomy and quiet it is.

Newcomer Genesis wins both the Subcompact Luxury SUV and Midsize Luxury SUV awards
