The Fiat 500L exists in the space between many segments: it’s not a compact hatchback, not quite a crossover, and not really a wagon.
The Honda HR-V offers crossover ride height, available all-wheel-drive, and standard active safety features with plenty of cargo room.
The two-tone Toyota C-HR has some quirk in a more appealing overall package.
The Kia Soul is recently redesigned and will appeal to those looking for a tall hatchback with funky styling.
The Mini Countryman checks many of the same boxes as the Fiat but with better quality and a much higher price.
Finally, the Hyundai Kona is a subcompact crossover with a nice balance of quirky style and punchy capability.
