A | The automotive experts at Edmunds test SUVs of all shapes, sizes and prices. During these evaluations, certain models rise to the top with qualities such as roomy seating and cargo areas, a comfortable ride, and easy-to-use touchscreens and technology features. But with many prospective buyers looking to make every dollar count, it’s important to consider value as well.Working with a budget cap of $40,000, Edmunds picked five SUVs to highlight. Some have city-friendly proportions that take the stress out of parking in tight spots, while others have cavernous cargo holds and handy third-row seating. They are listed below in order of price, which includes the destination charge.2024 MAZDA CX-50The Mazda CX-50 small SUV earns a spot in this list thanks to its driving refinement and upscale cabin. From inside it’s not hard to believe that you’re behind the wheel of a luxury-badged model. The design is first-rate and the seats are supportive in either row. The CX-50 rides a bit more firmly over bumps than other SUVs, but in return it has stable handling and is enjoyable to zip around town in or take out on a scenic drive. All-wheel drive is standard on every trim, as are driver assist features such as lane keeping assistance, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. A 186-horsepower four-cylinder serves as this Mazda’s capable and budget-minded base engine. There’s an optional turbo four-cylinder that’s more powerful, but it nudges the price at or above a $40,000 spending limit.Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price: $31,6752023 KIA SORENTOThe Kia Sorento is a compelling choice for shoppers wanting a low-priced seven-passenger SUV. Its third-row seating area is smaller than those of bigger models — such as the Hyundai Palisade listed below — but it is still suitable for occasional use for kids. Most of the Sorento’s trim levels come well stocked with helpful convenience and technology features.There is a choice of a fuel-conscious, non-turbocharged 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a punchier 281-horsepower turbo-four available in higher trims. And it’s possible to opt for the more powerful engine and keep the Sorento’s price well below $40,000. A Sorento Hybrid is also available for shoppers seeking higher fuel economy. Starting MSRP: $31,4152024 HONDA CR-VThe Honda CR-V is about as well rounded as a small SUV can get. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, great outward visibility, and loads of cargo space. Fuel economy is another plus point. The CR-V’s base 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, or you can opt for the 204-hp hybrid powertrain that gets up to 40 mpg combined. Thanks to its recent redesign for the 2023 model year, the interior of the CR-V is attractive and functional. Picking the midgrade EX-L trim stays under our budget limit and still gets you some upscale features such as leather upholstery, a power liftgate and a bigger center touchscreen. Starting MSRP: $30,8252024 SUBARU OUTBACKThe Subaru Outback is ideal for SUV shoppers who want a vehicle that’s suitable for occasional off-road adventures. Thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance, the midsize Outback has above-average capability on dirt roads or rocky trails. The Outback’s wagon-like shape also makes it easier to load recreational gear or cargo on the roof.Acceleration from the Outback’s standard 182-horsepower four-cylinder can be slow when you need a burst of speed on the highway, but in exchange the Outback gets a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined. A more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder is also available, though it exceeds our budget cap.Starting MSRP: $30,1902024 HYUNDAI PALISADEThe three-row Hyundai Palisade is the most expensive SUV among Edmunds’ choices here, and the majority of trims are priced beyond a $40,000 budget. But it’s important to know even the base Palisade is equipped with a long roster of tech features and driving aids. Highlights include a big 12.3-inch center touchscreen, first- and second-row USB ports, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning.All Palisades come with a 291-horsepower V6 engine that delivers acceptable acceleration and fuel economy. Despite its relatively large size, the Palisade is relaxing to drive and easy to maneuver. Also worth noting is its third-row seating has ample space even for adults, which is a rarity among many midsize SUVs. Starting MSRP: $37,735_______This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.Nick Kurczewski is a contributor at Edmunds and is on Twitter and Instagram。 讯 据水利部消息,8月19日上午,国家防总副总指挥、水利部部长李国英主持召开专题会商,视频连线水利部太湖流域管理局,分析研判太湖流域汛情发展态势,进一步安排部署太湖流域洪水防御工作。 李国英指出,受今年第13号台风“白海豚”及其残余环流带来的强降雨影响,8月11日太湖发生2026年第1号洪水;8月14日水位涨至4.20米,太湖发生流域性较大洪水;经过科学精细调度,8月17日19时40分太湖出现本轮洪水最高水位4.49米(洪峰水位到4.50米时,太湖即发生流域性大洪水),成功避免发生流域性大洪水。当前,太湖水位总体呈波动缓退态势,预报将于8月底降至4.20米左右,9月上旬末退至警戒水位以下。太湖及周边河网长时间高水位运行,叠加风浪影响,堤防出险风险增加,加之后期可能有台风登陆影响,太湖流域防汛形势依然严峻复杂,不可掉以轻心。 李国英要求,全力以赴做好六个方面重点工作。一要强化监测预报预警。

B | 充分运用雨水情监测预报体系和数字孪生太湖平台,对降雨、产流、汇流、演进进行全链条精准监测和滚动预报,动态推演分析太湖及周边河网地区水位及过程变化,为工程调度、巡查防守、人员转移等提供精准决策支持。二要尽快降低太湖及河网水位。调度太浦河、望虞河全力排水;调度新孟河界牌、奔牛枢纽全力外排湖西区洪水,减少湖西区进入太湖水量;督促指导地方充分挖掘工程潜力,沿江、沿海、沿杭州湾各水闸、泵站继续全力排水。三要加强堤防巡查防守。高度重视环太湖、望虞河、太浦河以及周边河网区超警、超保堤段,沿程逐段预测风险,提前划定风险区域;紧盯薄弱堤段、险工险段、穿堤建筑物等重点部位,严格落实巡堤查险措施;预置抢险力量、料物、设备,做到险情抢早、抢小、抢住,确保重要堤防不决口。四要科学实施上游水库调度。调度太湖上游青山、对河口等前期拦洪运用水库有序降低水库水位,在确保工程安全和下游安全行洪前提下,充分做好拦蓄后续台风暴雨洪水的各项准备。

C | 五要坚持流域“一盘棋”。统筹强化流域防洪和区域排涝,最大可能发挥流域骨干防洪工程、排涝水闸泵站等各类工程综合效益,保障太湖流域防洪安全。

D | 六要加快提升太湖流域防洪能力。加快推进太浦河后续、吴淞江工程项目建设,积极推进望虞河拓浚以及流域防洪规划修编确定的其他骨干工程前期工作,争取早建成早发挥作用。
