TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Fiat 500X comes with more built-in personality than most other small SUVs, though it’s an urban warrior rather than an off-roader.

The 2018 Honda HR-V blends great rear-seat flexibility and gas mileage, but it’s slow.

TCC Likes

Neat, tidy lines and proportions
Ride, handling above average
More character than most small utilities

Makes the most of its size
Lots of standard equipment
Great gas mileage

TCC Dislikes

Automatic transmission can be touchy
Sunroof hurts rear head room
Far from an off-roader

Thin acceleration
Crash-test scores are mixed
Doesn’t offer latest safety tech
