The Trax stands at one of the trendiest and most rapidly changing corners of the vehicle market—and it’s probably the model with the most dated design.
The Honda HR-V offers a very versatile interior but isn’t so much for putting people in the back seat.
The Jeep Renegade has an excellent, well-designed interior that feels larger than it looks like it might be on the outside, plus great styling, although its equipment and options can become expensive and overwhelming.
The Mini Cooper Countryman is a stylish, well-designed small hauler, although its interior can be on the noisy side and it’s more expensive than the others.
There’s definitely more verve in the Mazda CX-3, but it’s thin on features other than a decent infotainment system.
The Nissan Kicks is one of the best options in this group, and bargain-priced, but without all-wheel drive on option, its appeal is limited.
