TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2022 Audi Q3 parks in the small-SUV space, but fills it to the lines with technology and safety. The 2021 BMW X1 is an appealing crossover with hatchback moves, but keep a lid on options for the better value. The 2022 Mini Countryman is the most practical Mini around, even if it’s not the most fun.
