Small cr0ssovers seem like the ideal candidate for cookie-cutter design. After all, these cars are more about fulfilling needs than wants. But each of the seven vehicles we brought together for this comparison have vastly different interiors, and each places a different focus on things like fit and finish, infotainment display layouts, and the like.

The Subaru's back seats were, again, midpack in terms of both space and overall comfort.

The Crosstrek's seats-up cargo volume is smallest in the test.

The Kona proved quite spacious. Adding a few inches to the wheelbase will do that.
