The 2017 Chevy Trax is one of a new wave of suddenly hot subcompact crossovers.
The new Honda HR-V offers the supremely flexible Magic Seat interior, perhaps giving it the best packaging.
The Mazda CX-3, also new, delivers more sporty fun and similar dimensions.
The Jeep Renegade is also fun, and its Trailhawk model adds off-road prowess.
The Fiat 500X shares its structure with the Renegade, and it's space makes it the most practical Fiat on the market.
The Mini Cooper Countryman and Nissan Juke are sportier but smaller, while the Subaru XV Crosstrek is larger and more car-like.
