Looking for the best sports SUV for 2025? Here is a top 7 of sporty utility vehicles offering excellent capabilities, great versatility and an enjoyable driving experience, available at your Complexe VW 440 dealership in Laval, on the North Shore of Montreal.
On the menu, five affordable models ‒Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Taos, Mazda CX-30 trim, Chevrolet Blazer and Ford Explorer ST‒ as well as 2 luxury options ‒BMW X5 and Genesis GV70.
To begin, here's a top 5 of the best 2025 sport SUVs offered at an affordable price. We will later review 2 luxury models.
By consulting the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan specs sheet, or by coming to see it in person at your Volkswagen dealership near Terrebonne and Montreal-North, you'll immediately notice that this sport SUV comes with multiple advantages.
Here is a small table to help clarify:
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
For a 7-seater, off-road 2025 Volkswagen sport SUV (4MOTION), you can turn to the 2024 Tiguan or the VW Atlas.
A compact sports SUV that is also part of the Volkswagen lineup, the 2025 Taos specs sheet reveals impressive agility and remarkable cargo space (1,866 L).
In addition, you will be delighted by its combined fuel consumption of only 7.4 L/100 km, placing it well ahead of all the SUVs in this top 10. Savings at the pump aren't the only benefit for your wallet, since the compact sport SUV is available at a base price of only $32,585.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |

A relatively popular compact sports SUV, the Mazda CX-30 remains a solid choice. However, note that it is several thousand dollars more expensive than the two models mentioned above, in addition to offering a considerably more limited cargo space (1,280 L).
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
The Blazer's towing capacity may impress some (3,250 lbs.), but it is only accessible with the addition of the appropriate equipment. It offers roughly the same power as the CX-30 trim, and for increased performance you must choose the available second engine option (at an additional cost).
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
The Explorer's greatest strengths lie in its power and cargo space (2,415 L). However, these advantages raise the price, as you must be prepared to pay $10,000 more than for the Volkswagen Tiguan!
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
|
|
If you are not intimidated by a higher price tag, here are two luxurious options!
The most powerful SUV, but also the priciest in this top 7, the engine develops 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of maximum torque. But this amount of power comes at a price: one of nearly $100,000! It offers even more powerful engine options, albeit at an even higher cost. Even though luxury and advanced technologies are present, this price does not guarantee perfection, as it is criticized for overreliance on the digital screen and a rather noisy interior, among other concerns.
Much cheaper than the previous model, it is also less powerful (300 horsepower vs. 375 horsepower) and considerably more fuel-hungry (10.6 L/100 km vs. 9.4 L/100 km). It features a fairly luxurious interior and satisfactory technologies, but its towing capacity is lower than that of its direct competitors and it offers few storage solutions.
