The small crossovers on this list received excellent ratings from Consumer Reports. The org gave it 85 out of for predicted reliability. What makes the CX-5 one of the most compelling options in the class is its sportscar-inspired handling and refined car cabin. There are a few notable changes for the CX All models now come with a The Sportage received the second highest-reliability score in the class with an Here, we count down the top 10 you can currently buy — and reveal the small SUVs that are best to steer clear of.
You'll see plenty of popular names here, including the car which started the small SUV craze, the Nissan Juke, as well as models from Audi, Ford and Volkswagen among others. Finally, don't forget, if you decide one of the cars featured is just what you're looking for, you could potentially save thousands without any haggling by using our New Car Buying service.
You'll find links to our latest deals with each car. It also handles tidily and is well equipped, but there's no bargain-basement entry-level version to tempt budget-conscious buyers. We reckon the bhp 1. Based on the i20 hatchback , the Bayon is decent to drive, with a comfortable ride and quieter cruising manners than most rivals. The original Juke sold in huge numbers, despite having a hard ride and horribly cramped rear seats, but the latest version is much improved in both areas, and has one of the smartest interiors of any small SUV.
The bhp 1. Once the class leader, the Arona remains an appealing choice, thanks to precise handling, good practicality and affordable PCP finance deals. Although the 94bhp 1. Team it with SE Technology trim and you'll get an upgraded infotainment system as well as rear parking sensors.
Not only does the Peugeot look the part both inside and out , it's well equipped and has a range of punchy, efficient petrol engines. It's just a pity all s are more expensive than most of their mainstream rivals. Audi's Q2 was one of the first small SUVs to combine its compact dimensions with a premium badge. It also has one of the best infotainment systems around — better than those in bigger, more expensive Audi SUVs, in fact.
Standard safety features such as forward-collision warning and lane-keep assist add to the Tucson's already strong value equation. A new more fuel-efficient Hyundai Tucson is arriving soon, with bold looks, more passenger space in the second row, and an added plug-in-hybrid option. The Subaru Forester has done little to mess with its winning formula. It offers standard all-wheel drive, excellent visibility, a roomy interior, and a capacious cargo hold.
Subaru now throws in several driver-assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, lane centering, and lane-departure warning—as well as a rear-seat reminder system. The Forester comes standard with LED headlights with automatic high-beams. We're a little disappointed that the previously optional turbocharged engine is gone, along with the available manual transmission. That said, the hp naturally aspirated boxer-four standard across the lineup pairs well with Subaru's CVT to deliver smooth, reasonably peppy acceleration.
It's certainly not the quickest in the class, but the Subaru Forester is still one of the best all-around compact crossovers and an affordable way to get all-wheel drive. The new Nissan Rogue is vastly improved over the crossover it replaces. Nissan has delivered attention to detail and a level of refinement that the last Rogue lacked, with a much better seating position and a nicer interior with lots of standard and optional features.
A hp 2. That should arrive later this year. There's now more passenger volume, and more cargo area with the rear seats folded. Another major improvement is the more refined engine and less obnoxious CVT. The Divide-N-Hide cargo system that splits the rear cargo area into a fits-almost-any situation adjustable area is now only available as standard equipment on upper SL and Platinum trims.
And considering the last Outlander was ranked dead-last on this list, this merger has been big news for the Three-Diamond Mark.
This new generation Outlander shares its powertrain and chassis with the Nissan Rogue. A hp four-cylinder and CVT is the only way to slice it, and front-wheel drive is standard. All-wheel drive is optional. A plug-in hybrid will be available later, also. On our mph highway fuel-economy test, the top-level Outlander SEL achieved an underwhelming 26 mpg, compared to the Rogue's 32 mpg.
The Outlander offers a third-row the same way food demonstrators give fudge pudding. There's just not enough there. As the only vehicle on this list with a bottle opener built into the liftgate, it's clear that the Ford Bronco Sport is here to party. Its looks match its capability, and though they don't look similar, the Bronco Sport and Escape both share a platform. A hp turbocharged three-cylinder is standard, and a larger hp four-cylinder engine is available; both come with an eight-speed automatic.
A Bronco Sport Badlands placed second in our most recent compact crossover comparison test , where it beat the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, but came up short against the Mazda CX-5 due to a lack of comfort and paved-road performance. The Toyota RAV4 is the epitome of a crossover with rugged looks that doesn't stray too far from its everyday comfort. Every nonhybrid RAV4 is powered by a hp four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
RAV4 Hybrid models have standard all-wheel drive with horsepower. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now standard. Our only major complaint centers on the RAV4's relatively loud four-cylinder engine.
We think too much noise enters the cabin. The CR-V Hybrid combines a four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors for a combined output of horsepower, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive. With 39 cubic feet of rear cargo area and 75 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, the CR-V has plenty of space inside.
There's also a host of standard safety features on every CR-V, like forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and lane-departure warning, and active cruise control.
The Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the biggest offerings in the segment—large enough to squeeze in a tiny third-row seat—and it uses that size to deliver a solid driving experience. Its only available engine is a hp turbocharged four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic that often feels overmatched by the Tiguan's mass.
But the engine is smooth and fuel efficient on the highway. The VW's ride is comfortable but not sporty. Like most Volkswagens, the interior is businesslike with minimal style and hard plastics. For , the Tiguan received standard Wi-Fi connectivity for the Car-Net system and optional wireless phone charging.
Don't expect to have much cargo room when the third-row seats are in use, but it's the only compact crossover in the segment to currently offer a seven seats. A refreshed Volkswagen Tiguan will go on sale later this year with standard LED headlights, digital cockpit, and sharp new looks.
