Maybe one that will last through retirement? If so, you might be wondering if some brands are more reliable than others? <\/p>\n Finding the perfect crossover vehicle<\/a> can seem like a daunting task, especially with dozens of models and options on the market. To help you get started with your search, we\u2019ve selected four of the best crossover vehicles that are predicted to last<\/a> through your retirement.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Honda CR-V<\/p>\n The Honda CR-V<\/a> has the trifecta of characteristics: affordability, practicality and reliability. Starting at $32,370, the CR-V is a great vehicle if you are approaching retirement<\/a> or have already retired. The 2026 model comes with updated technology, a contemporary cabin and extended leg room, making it comfortable for everyday travel or long-distance trips. Honda CR-V models are known to last between 250,000 and 300,000 miles, according to Honda of Danbury<\/a> \u2014 which is perfect if you\u2019re looking for a vehicle to last through retirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to beat the CR-V for reliability,\u201d said Melanie Musson, auto industry expert with AutoInsurance.org<\/a>. \u201cThe engine is designed to last because Honda prioritizes quality. A well-maintained CR-V could easily last over 10 years and may even reach 20 years with minimal issues. The CR-V\u2019s safety features also make it an excellent choice for retirees.\u201d<\/p>\n Lexus RX<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the market for a crossover that screams luxury and reliability, check out the Lexus RX. The 2026 RX starts at $51,175, which is a step up from the CR-V. However, the Lexus RX<\/a> offers high-end build quality, including premium interior materials, a luxe exterior and a proven track record of longevity. With proper care, the average Lexus lasts over 250,000 miles, per Ray Catena Lexus of White Plains<\/a>. If you want a vehicle that grows old with you, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Lexus RX.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf you want luxury at a good value, the RX is an excellent choice,\u201d Musson said. \u201cThe working parts display craftsmanship and commitment to quality. An RX will often last 30% longer than competitors\u2019 products. The safety features are excellent and retirees will appreciate the cabin comforts of a Lexus.\u201d<\/p>\n Toyota RAV4<\/p>\n The 2026 Toyota RAV4<\/a> comes with Toyota\u2019s strong brand reputation for longevity. The RAV4 offers a spacious interior, including cargo storage, despite being a compact SUV. Additionally, the RAV4 offers strong fuel efficiency, with up to 44 MPG in the LE Hybrid model, per Car and Driver<\/a>. Even better, the 2026 RAV4 starts at $33,350, which is affordable on a retirement budget<\/a>. Many RAV4 drivers on Reddit<\/a> reported keeping their vehicle for over 200,000 miles or 20 years. If you\u2019re a one-and-done car buyer, check out the 2026 Toyota RAV4.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe Toyota RAV4 Hybrid will outlast most retirement plans,\u201d said Ryan Salata, marketing director of Specialty Auto Parts USA<\/a>. \u201cThese cars frequently hit 250,000 miles with routine maintenance,\u2002in no small part because the hybrid system relieves strain on the engine and brakes. The normal start-stop on the engine also further reduces total hours running, decreasing\u2002the likelihood of transmission failures.\u201d<\/p>\n Subaru Forester<\/p>\n The next crossover that will last through retirement is the Subaru<\/a> Forester. The all-terrain options are ideal if you\u2019re an avid adventurer, traveler or explorer. Even if you aren\u2019t, the Forester has highly-rated<\/a> safety features, a modern look and updated trim options. The 2026 Forester starts at $31,445 and can last well over 200,000 miles thanks to its well-crafted design, according to Subaru of Baton Rogue<\/a>. With safe driving habits and regular maintenance, some owners report driving their Foresters to the 300,000-mile mark. Head to your local Subaru dealer to test drive the Forester for yourself.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Forester is an excellent option for retirees who don\u2019t want to worry about replacing their vehicle in five to ten years,\u201d Musson said. \u201cThe Forester tends to reach high miles with minimal issues. It\u2019s an ideal height for retirees to get into and out of. The safety features help prevent crashes. The interior features are luxurious.\u201d<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s note: Each vehicle\u2019s starting price was sourced from Car and Driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Commitment to Our Readers GOBankingRates’ editorial team is committed to bringing you unbiased reviews and information.
