Subcompact crossover SUVs are all the rage right now, so your shopping list is probably lengthy.
The Honda HR-V has a versatile interior and, new for 2019, a volume knob.
It’s the small things.
The Jeep Renegade gets the rugged SUV look right but can get expensive with optional equipment you’ll want to tack on.
The Mazda CX-3 has more verve than most pint-size ‘utes and it lacks little other than a decent infotainment system.
Spend more and you can wind up with the Mini Cooper Countryman, a delightfully Teutonic small hauler.
The 2019 Nissan Kicks is this year’s value offering.
A nice one costs about $20,000, but all-wheel drive isn’t on the options list.
