The Terrain is a near-twin to the Chevy Equinox, though the GMC gets a better transmission and has some nicer cues inside.
The Mazda CX-5 may not be all that spacious, but it’s fun to drive.
The Toyota RAV4 has butch looks and a thrifty hybrid—and a plug-in Prime hybrid, too.
It may show its age, but the Honda CR-V is a solid choice with a spacious interior and a new hybrid edition.
The Subaru Forester is our top choice as long as power isn’t a priority; it’s an excellent space-saver with safety scores that top the class.
