Which SUV Will Be A Sought-After Classic In 20 Years? | Carscoops carscoops
, a Toyoa AE86, or a Toyota Mk IV Supra a classic, and with that I can hardly find fault. I can’t really think of a modern SUV that actually feels like a Mustang, Ford’s naming policies notwithstanding.
But I don’t think that those are the only kinds of classics there are. A Volkswagen Microbus, for instance, doesn’t really share much in common with a Supra, but it is, undeniably, a classic. So much soFor this QOTD, I’m wondering which crossovers or SUVs, if any, will some day become classics. The likes of the Volkswagen Tiguan or, despite their height, are primarily designed for the road, unlike, say a Jeep Wrangler or a Toyota Land Cruiser, which are aimed at off road enthusiasts.
I’m particularly interested in this question because I don’t think I would have predicted that any minivans would become classics. And yet, we are slowly seeing a cult grow of people who grew up in minivans and now look back fondly on things. I’ll admit that these are, by no means, as valued as, say, a Toyota Celica from the ’90s, but I think they prove that even vehicles that were designed for the masses can become classics, in one sense or another.
I think the same could be said of some modern SUVs. Naturally, things like the Porsche Macan or Cayenne could become classics, but I also think that some RAV4s and first-generation Tiguans delivered just enough intrigue while embodying a generational design trend, and being fondly remembered by young people to be of interest to future enthusiasts.
But what do you think? What SUVs, if any, will car nerds like you and me look back on in 20 years and think “You know, that was a really good one. I’d be willing to waste money on it”?

Best SUVs of 2022Looking like a taller, more rugged Mazda 3 hatchback, the 2022 CX-30 snuggles up next to the CX-5 on the small end of the brand's SUV lineup. Its curvaceous exterior design and near-premium cabin give the CX-30 an upscale appearance that almost puts it in contention with subcompact luxury crossovers such as the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, but its pricing is more aligned with mainstream subcompact SUVs such as the Hyundai Kona and the Volkswagen Taos. The entry-level engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which delivers tepid acceleration; hot-shoe drivers will find the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter far more desirable. Handling is agile and the CX-30's on-road demeanor is reminiscent of Mazda's sportier offerings, which we greatly appreciate; so much so, that we gave it an Editors' Choice award. A generous helping of infotainment and driver-assistance features is standard and, starting this year, so is all-wheel drive.Review, Pricing, and Specs
