An intermediate, or midsize, SUV is slightly smaller than a standard SUV but still has enough room for a group or family of five to ride comfortably. Example models include the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Jeep Compass, and Subaru Outback, among others. Most models have four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, excellent for rougher terrain or bad weather, and are fuel-efficient for an SUV, making them the perfect vehicle for any trip or adventure.
The midsize or intermediate SUV rental car fleet includes a wide variety of models. Learn more about the Toyota RAV4 and all of our other midsize SUV models below. Keep in mind that vehicle makes and models vary by location, so a specific model may not be available.
