Bottomline Much less of a cute-ute than it used to be, the 2008 Jeep Liberty defines SUV-lites by not being one. The 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara is more maneuverable than larger rugged SUVs, but there aren't many other reasons to recommend it. The 2008 Toyota RAV4 brings a little more space than most compact SUVs without a mid-size price.
