2021 Nissan Kicks

Overview

The Nissan Kicks compact crossover has seating for five people with a solid suite of standard safety features and an affordable price. Its biggest drawback is the small engine, which makes accelerating to highway speeds a chore. The Nissan Kicks is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 3 trim levels. The most popular style is the SV, which starts at $22,525 and comes with a 1.6L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Kicks is estimated to deliver 31 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Budget-friendly pricing
  • Good standard safety features
  • Excellent fuel economy

Cons

  • Unimpressive acceleration
  • Front-wheel drive only

Overall Assessment

The Nissan Kicks is a two-row compact crossover with seating for five people. It's the base model in the Nissan crossover and SUV lineup, with the smallest dimensions and the lowest starting price at just $20,700. It targets the first-time buyer with a limited budget, but still offers plenty of standard features. These include a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, blind-spot warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. The downside to the Kicks is its small engine. It doesn't have the power to move with any sense of urgency. Getting up to highway speeds takes some time. On the upside, that tiny engine does give the Kicks great fuel economy. Competitors include the Hyundai Venue, which has a larger standard touchscreen, but lower fuel economy. The Kia Seltos is more expensive but provides a more powerful engine.

2021 Mazda CX-30

Overview

The Mazda CX-30 is easily a top offering among small crossovers, with its superlative cabin finishes and driving experience. Pricing for the top trims, however, also exceeds the segment norms. The Mazda CX-30 is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 7 trim levels. The most popular style is the Premium AWD, which starts at $31,275 and comes with a 2.5L I4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This CX-30 is estimated to deliver 24 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Upscale interior approaches near-luxury grade
  • Punchy available turbo engine
  • Engaging driving demeanor

Cons

  • Several rivals are more practical cargo carriers
  • Rear-seat space is tight
  • Turbo version gets pricey at the high end

Overall Assessment

The 2021 Mazda CX-30 is slightly larger than the diminutive Mazda CX-3 but still smaller than the Mazda CX-5 compact crossover. Typical of Mazdas, the CX-30 puts a premium on the driving experience, an unusual quality among small crossovers. Two engines are offered: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with or without a turbocharger. The turbocharged version is considerably zippier but also considerably more expensive. The CX-30 also hews to the Mazda standards with its interior appointments. The richly finished cabin could easily pass for an Audi or a Volvo. It's not the most spacious interior, however, with rear-seat legroom just barely adequate for a 6-footer and a cargo hold that's less capacious than many rivals. Still, in a segment characterized by dullsville driving and basic cabins, the CX-30 stands out by offering a more premium experience.

2021 Mazda CX-3

Overview

With its sporty handling and premium style, the Mazda CX-3 delivers an enjoyable driving experience in a small and fuel-efficient package. It comes nicely equipped for $21,000 with active safety tech, automatic LED headlights, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The elegant cabin gives pricier SUVs a run for their money while remaining user-friendly. Top rivals have more rear-seat space and optional amenities, but few can match this Mazda’s appeal. The Mazda CX-3 is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Sport AWD, which starts at $23,365 and comes with a 2.0L I4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This CX-3 is estimated to deliver 27 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.

Pros

  • Handsome style inside and out
  • Nimble and enjoyable to drive
  • Excellent fuel economy
  • Standard safety technology

Cons

  • Limited cabin and cargo space
  • Engine could have more power

Overall Assessment

Mazda SUVs have grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to their sporty driving dynamics and near-luxury interiors. The smallest SUV in the brand’s lineup, the Mazda CX-3, delivers these likable traits in an economical size. Available in one trim, the CX-3 comes nicely equipped with comfort features and safety technology. Some rivals provide more optional extras, and Mazda’s own CX-30 has more horsepower and cabin space for a little price bump, but the CX-3 still delivers one of the best values in its class.

2022 Kia Seltos

Overview

Slick, modern styling and affordable pricing make the Kia Seltos a top choice in the crowded compact-crossover segment. Its well-sized cargo and passenger room offers plenty of versatility for city dwellers. The Kia Seltos is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 5 trim levels. The most popular style is the S 2.0 FWD, which starts at $23,865 and comes with a 2.0L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Seltos is estimated to deliver 29 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Low starting price
  • Spacious cargo area
  • Standard safety features

Cons

  • Lackluster base engine
  • Middling fuel economy

Overall Assessment

The Kia Seltos enters its second year on the market with upgraded safety features that make it an even more appealing compact crossover. The five-passenger provides a comfortable and attractive interior with plenty of cargo room for a weekend getaway. Two available engines and a choice of either front-wheel or all-wheel drive make it easy to find a Seltos that suits your needs. With only a modest price increase this year, the Seltos remains a great option for singles looking for their first car or young couples just getting started.

The Seltos goes up against the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which provides more power than the Seltos when equipped with its base engine. But the Chevy comes at a higher price. The Hyundai Kona also presents fun styling but with less cargo space.

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Overview

The Chevrolet Trailblazer has several good qualities, including its interior space, its high-tech features, and its attractive design. Although its starting price is low, moving up to the more compelling Trailblazer variants causes the sticker price to balloon and quickly erodes the value proposition. The Chevrolet Trailblazer is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the LT FWD, which starts at $24,995 and comes with a 1.2L I3 Turbo engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Trailblazer is estimated to deliver 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Low base price
  • All-wheel drive is available
  • Standard active-safety features

Cons

  • Neither available engine is very powerful
  • Fuel economy is no better than larger, more powerful SUVs
  • Upper models are pricey

Overall Assessment

The new Chevrolet Trailblazer joins the growing cadre of subcompact crossovers, competing against the Kia Seltos, the Nissan Kicks, and the Mazda CX-30, among others. Chevy's new entry looks sharp, particularly with its available contrasting-color roof. Despite being small outside, it's bigger inside than many of its competitors. The availability of all-wheel drive is a plus, as not all subcompact SUVs offer it (the Toyota C-HR and Kicks, for example). Gas mileage is disappointing though, as the Trailblazer's three-cylinder engines are no more economical than larger four-cylinder SUVs. The Trailblazer's biggest handicap is its pricing structure, as the upper trim levels put it up against more capable competitors.

2022 Hyundai Kona

Overview

The Hyundai Kona has a lively personality with its sporty styling, responsive handling, and available turbo engines. It's a great compact SUV for active singles. The Hyundai Kona is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the SEL FWD Automatic, which starts at $24,175 and comes with a 2.0L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Kona is estimated to deliver 30 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Zippy turbo engines available
  • Eye-catching design
  • Lots of tech features

Cons

  • Rear-seat space is tight
  • Small cargo hold

Overall Assessment

The 2022 Hyundai Kona is a pint-sized SUV that's just a shade larger and more expensive than the Hyundai Venue. Unlike the Venue and several other subcompact SUVs, the Kona is available with optional all-wheel drive. It has a choice of gasoline engines, including a peppy turbo. The Kona has a taut suspension and responsive steering that further enhances the driving experience. However, this Hyundai is a small SUV, and rear-seat space is smaller than some rivals, as is the cargo hold. Typical of Hyundai, the Kona offers impressive technology features, particularly for this class, and its long warranty coverage is a bonus.

2021 Ford EcoSport

Overview

The 2021 Ford EcoSport is an inexpensive SUV best suited for urban environs, but its fuel economy is unimpressive and rivals are better equipped. The Ford EcoSport is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the SE FWD, which starts at $25,205 and comes with a 1.0L I3 Turbo engine and Front Wheel Drive. This EcoSport is estimated to deliver 27 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Ultra-small size makes it easy to park
  • Easy-to-use infotainment system
  • All-wheel drive is available

Cons

  • Missing some common driver-assist features
  • Disappointing fuel economy given its size
  • Base model lacks power

Overall Assessment

The EcoSport is not only Ford's smallest SUV; it's one of the smallest SUVs on the market. It's also inexpensive, starting at just over $20,000. Two engines are available: a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that comes with all-wheel drive. Both pair with a six-speed automatic transmission, and neither is particularly economical. The EcoSport's ride is decent, and it's a cinch to park, but some key driver-assist features are missing. Ford's 8-inch infotainment system (on all but the base trim) is modern and easy to use. Front and rear passengers enjoy a raised seating position, although rear-seat knee room is tight, and the cabin is narrow.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

Overview

The Hyundai Tucson is the brand's best-selling vehicle, and we expect its popularity to continue with an all-new 2022 version of the capable compact crossover. New styling plus a variety of features combine with a lengthy warranty to appeal to a wide range of buyers. The Hyundai Tucson is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 7 trim levels. The most popular style is the SEL AWD, which starts at $29,225 and comes with a 2.5L I4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This Tucson is estimated to deliver 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models available
  • Big-screen displays
  • Upscale styling

Cons

  • Limited towing capacity
  • No off-road trim

Overall Assessment

The previous edition of the Hyundai Tucson compact crossover was plain-looking and a little small for the class. Hyundai fixed both issues with the all-new 2022 version. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is now larger on the inside and more unique on the outside. It delivers comfortable five-passenger seating with plenty of luggage room. While it has some off-road capabilities, the Tucson is far more impressive on the highway and around town, thanks to its smooth ride and precise handling. Although larger than before, the new Tucson is still about the same size as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. And like its primary competitors, the Tucson now offers both hybrid and plug-in hybrid models that deliver exceptional mileage along with everyday practicality.

2021 Toyota C-HR

Overview

A bold exterior design makes the Toyota C-HR stand out from the sea of today's unremarkable compact crossovers. It also has a wide range of standard safety and infotainment features. But ultimately, it's let down by an engine that doesn't have enough power to make it fun to drive. The Toyota C-HR is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the LE FWD, which starts at $22,910 and comes with a 2.0L I4 engine and Front Wheel Drive. This C-HR is estimated to deliver 27 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Striking exterior design
  • Smooth ride
  • Ample standard safety

Cons

  • Tight rear seats
  • Underpowered engine
  • Average fuel economy

Overall Assessment

The Toyota C-HR is a compact crossover with the versatility to handle people or cargo within its pint-size dimensions. City dwellers or couples whose cargo needs are less demanding than growing families will find it ideal. And the C-HR stands out with an edgy exterior design. Note the funky rear door with a handle placed up high just beneath the roofline. That's all part of this crossover's unique appeal. It also boasts a strong suite of standard safety technology, even on the base trim. Its solid infotainment system includes desirable connectivity options. The [Honda HR-V(/honda/hr-v/) has more limited infotainment with fewer standard safety tech but adds the option for all-wheel drive. The Subaru Crosstrek also has better capability with its standard all-wheel drive. The Mazda CX-3 is the go-to choice if driving fun is your priority.

2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Overview

Compact SUVs are the most popular vehicle category today, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross seeks to differentiate itself with sleek style, low pricing, and excellent warranty coverage. The crossover takes its name and sporty appeal from the automaker's long-running Eclipse sports car, imbuing that spirit into a versatile five-passenger family vehicle. Its turbocharged engine is smooth and efficient, and many driver safety aids are available. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the SE S-AWC, which starts at $28,940 and comes with a 1.5L I4 Turbo engine and Four Wheel Drive. This Eclipse Cross is estimated to deliver 25 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Chic style for a low starting price
  • User-friendly controls
  • Excellent warranty coverage

Cons

  • Underpowered engine
  • Limited rear-seat and cargo space
  • Low-grade cabin plastics

Overall Assessment

If you are in the market for a crossover SUV but don't want to spend too much, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross presents a compelling option. Its sporty style and well-rounded standard features bolster its already-impressive value. Drivers get a straightforward layout and plenty of space to relax, and the powertrain delivers good efficiency, though at the expense of power. The Eclipse Cross is not as fun to drive as top competitors, nor does it have their interior refinement. Cargo space is limited, too. But Mitsubishi throws in a lengthy warranty to help tempt shoppers away from pricier competitors. Overall, the Eclipse Cross has some drawbacks, but its attractive looks and low price make it a worthwhile test-drive.

2022 Volkswagen Taos

Overview

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is an all-new subcompact crossover in the German brand's lineup. Its long list of available features and low initial price are attractive, but it doesn't match some of its competitors when it comes to standard safety technology. The Volkswagen Taos is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 3 trim levels. The most popular style is the SEL FWD, which starts at $32,685 and comes with a 1.5L I4 Turbo engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Taos is estimated to deliver 28 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Nice road manners
  • Roomy interior
  • Upscale equipment available

Cons

  • Active safety systems are largely optional
  • Single engine option

Overall Assessment

The Volkswagen Taos is a new entry in the increasingly popular subcompact utility class. It's longer than the Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Honda HR-V, but similar in length to the compact 2022 Kia Sportage. Clever packaging gives the Taos comfortable five-passenger seating with plenty of luggage room. Its handy size makes it a good urban vehicle, but it is equally comfortable on the open road with a smooth ride and precise handling. The Taos offers more horsepower than its similar-size competitors, so it has an added pep.

  • Roomy interior
  • Upscale equipment available

Cons

  • Active safety systems are largely optional
  • Single engine option

Overall Assessment

The Volkswagen Taos is a new entry in the increasingly popular subcompact utility class. It's longer than the Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Honda HR-V, but similar in length to the compact 2022 Kia Sportage. Clever packaging gives the Taos comfortable five-passenger seating with plenty of luggage room. Its handy size makes it a good urban vehicle, but it is equally comfortable on the open road with a smooth ride and precise handling. The Taos offers more horsepower than its similar-size competitors, so it has an added pep.

Pros

  • Affordably priced
  • Extensive standard safety
  • Responsive handling

Cons

  • Slow acceleration
  • Tight third row
  • Average fuel economy

Overall Assessment

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a three-row compact crossover with seating for seven. Its smaller size makes it easy to manage in city driving, but the tight third row is barely usable. The Outlander is an affordable choice that includes a surprising number of standard safety features. It also has a large infotainment screen with smartphone connectivity. The Outlander's most noticeable flaw is the underpowered base engine. It does, however, handle quite well. So once it's up to speed, the Outlander feels responsive. Direct competitors to the Outlander include the five-passenger Nissan Rogue, which has higher pricing and better acceleration. The Volkswagen Tiguan has seating for seven with a stronger engine but lower fuel economy.

2021 Ford Escape

Overview

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Good fuel economy
  • Comfortable ride
  • Long list of standard safety equipment

  • Limited cargo capacity

Overall Assessment

The Ford Escape is a versatile compact crossover with several engine choices and a wide range of trims to suit almost every family's needs.

Pricing starts lower than competitors, such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but their higher prices get you better-looking interiors, especially in base trims. However, although the Escape's more utilitarian interior may be off-putting to some, it also has the durability to stand up to the rigors of family life.

2021 Nissan Rogue

Overview

The Nissan Rogue is freshly redesigned for 2021. The new model ups its game with sleeker styling, an extra dose of tech, and a nicer interior. However, it lacks the breadth of choice of some rivals. The Nissan Rogue is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the SV AWD, which starts at $30,315 and comes with a 2.5L I4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This Rogue is estimated to deliver 25 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Plenty of space for people and cargo
  • Standard active-safety features
  • Upscale interior, especially in the luxurious Platinum trim

Cons

  • The 2
  • 5-liter engine is short on power
  • No hybrid option
  • Tows only 1,350 pounds

Overall Assessment

The Nissan Rogue, formerly a segment laggard, emerges from a fresh redesign with handsome new styling, an upgraded interior, and a bevy of high-tech features. A full suite of active-safety systems is standard, and sophisticated adaptive cruise control is on all but the base model. The roomy cabin boasts upscale finishes and seats five exclusively — the previously available (and cramped) third row has been jettisoned. Mechanically, the changes are less dramatic, and the 2021 Rogue shares much with its predecessor. Horsepower and torque numbers for the 2.5-liter engine are a bit higher than before, but more power would still be welcome. And the Rogue does not offer a hybrid option, as do several of its competitors.

2021 Subaru Forester

Overview

Subaru's Forester is a sensible choice among compact SUVs. Standard all-wheel drive and good ground clearance make it capable off-pavement, and the boxy shape houses a spacious interior and generous cargo hold. The Subaru Forester is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 5 trim levels. The most popular style is the 2.5i Premium, which starts at $28,845 and comes with a 2.5L H4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This Forester is estimated to deliver 26 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Standard all-wheel drive
  • Roomy, practical interior
  • Great outward visibility

Cons

  • Sole engine offering is not so quick
  • Some driver assists cost extra
  • Limited towing at 1,500 pounds

Overall Assessment

The Subaru Forester is the brand's entrant into the wildly popular compact crossover arena, a genre in which the Forester was a pioneer. The latest version debuted as a 2019 model, looking not much different from the previous version. Exterior styling is not a priority here — in fact, the practical, utilitarian Forester is an anti-style statement. Instead, form follows function, and the Forester features tall windows that offer an expansive view out, plenty of space for five, and a usefully shaped luggage compartment. Other practical virtues include all-weather capability with standard all-wheel drive, good gas mileage, and budget-friendly pricing.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek

Overview

Subaru's smallest model, the Crosstrek is a high-riding hatchback that competes against small crossovers. It's an attractive package thanks to a rugged persona and standard all-wheel drive, two traits that aren't very common in its class. The Subaru Crosstrek is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 5 trim levels. The most popular style is the 2.5i Limited CVT, which starts at $29,045 and comes with a 2.5L H4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This Crosstrek is estimated to deliver 27 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Standard all-wheel drive
  • Gutsy optional engine
  • Strong resale value

Cons

  • Less cargo space than many competitors
  • Some driver-assist features cost extra
  • Weak base engine

Overall Assessment

The Subaru Crosstrek is essentially a compact Subaru Impreza hatchback that's fortified with all-wheel drive, a raised ride height, and rugged-looking styling. The hatchback body has less cargo space than SUV-shaped competitors, but the Crosstrek offers a more carlike ride and handling. Lower-trim Crosstreks are powered by a plucky but not particularly powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. A potent new 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a plug-in hybrid version are also available. Typical of the brand, the Crosstrek packs in a lot of features at a reasonable price with strong resale value bolsters the value proposition.

2021 Mazda CX-5

Overview

With sharp handling, precise steering, and powerful brakes, the Mazda CX-5 is one of the most enjoyable compact SUVs. It is priced higher than most of its competitors, so the CX-5 is not the best overall value in the class. The Mazda CX-5 is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 6 trim levels. The most popular style is the Grand Touring AWD, which starts at $33,135 and comes with a 2.5L I4 engine and All Wheel Drive. This CX-5 is estimated to deliver 24 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Exceptionally fun to drive
  • Optional high-horsepower turbo
  • Upscale interior

Cons

  • Premium price
  • Less cargo space than competitors
  • Nonintuitive entertainment system

Overall Assessment

Buyers looking for a compact SUV that excels on the daily commute will find the Mazda CX-5 an excellent option. The good-looking Mazda doesn't pretend to have off-road chops. Instead, it concentrates on providing a superior on-pavement experience. With comfortable five-passenger seating and a handsome interior design, the CX-5 stands out even among upscale European brands.

The CX-5 comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available across the model line. Slotting into Mazda's lineup between the CX-3 and CX-9, the CX-5 is 3 inches shorter than the Honda CR-V. Other prominent two-row compact SUVs include the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Rogue.

2022 Buick Encore GX

Overview

The Buick Encore GX is a compact SUV that offers both a manageable size and a premium look and feel. Its comfortable, feature-laden cabin is certainly accommodating, but its lack of punch under the hood leaves it feeling a little less premium than some of its more athletic competitors. The Buick Encore GX is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 3 trim levels. The most popular style is the Select FWD, which starts at $26,795 and comes with a 1.2L I3 Turbo engine and Front Wheel Drive. This Encore GX is estimated to deliver 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Comfortable, quiet ride
  • Maneuverable size
  • Upscale interior

Cons

  • Best of safety tech available only in top trims
  • Single engine option

Overall Assessment

The subcompact-SUV market has become so overheated that Buick offers two models in the segment: the Buick Encore and the larger Buick Encore GX. While the two models share the same name, they are completely different vehicles. Of course, they epitomize Buick brand attributes, such as comfort and quiet. Neither the Encore nor the Encore GX has any performance or sporting ambitions. The Encore GX is designed for urban and suburban singles as well as young couples who want convenience and versatility from their vehicle.

Though larger than the Encore, the Encore GX is shorter in overall length than the mechanically similar Chevrolet Trailblazer, Kia Seltos, and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The Encore GX has a class-average amount of interior space and cargo area. Its 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine won't make enthusiast drivers drool, but it provides a reasonable amount of pep. Though larger than its Encore sibling, the GX is still a very handy size for those who park on city streets or tight parking garages.
