Whether you're starting a new family or merely venturing out on your own, small SUVs will likely be at or near the top of your car-shopping list. We assembled seven of our favorites for a proper no-holds-barred comparison.
Seeing these seven crossovers at the same corner at the same time is a more common occurrence than you might think, as these twee SUVs are a popular way to pick up some utility without breaking the bank.
The Crosstrek scores well in the ride and driver-comfort areas, and the rest is subjectively mid.
Even though it does many things well, it doesn't really do anything exceptionally, which accounts for its low rank in our scoring metrics.
The Envista may be nearly the same as the Trax on which it's based, but can Buick's premium angle give it an advantage? (Fans of Betteridge's Law of Headlines will already have an answer.)
The Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos were more closely related in the past. Does the Hyundai's embiggening give it an advantage on the road?
The Kia Seltos may be older than its Hyundai counterpart, but it's also lighter and quicker.
The Mazda is small, and in that way impractical for young families, but if driving pleasure and carving roads is priority, look no further than the CX-30.
The Trax may have the lowest price in the test, but don't ever call it cheap—that would indicate low value. It pegs the usefulness scale as well.
