Mazda’s evergreen Tribute gets the same updates as its Ford Escape sibling. The base 2.5-litre four-cylinder produces 170-hp while the optional 3.0-litre V6 pushes out 240-hp. The entry-level model comes with a five-speed manual transmission, while the rest use a six-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is available with either engine. The interior is much improved, although the piano-black dash treatment is difficult to keep clean.

 

Pros

Traditional, reliable

Cons

Could be bigger
