Subcompact crossover SUVs are hardly penalty boxes.
One of our favorites is the segment’s newcomer, the Hyundai Kona.
It’s priced well and drips with personality.
The Toyota C-HR has a great ride quality, but its tight interior and agonizingly slow acceleration make it hard to recommend.
Boxy looks tie the Jeep Renegade into its ‘80s Cherokee great-grandpa, and it can be a formidable off-roader.
The Subaru Crosstrek is just as plucky and feels a class above its rivals inside.
We can’t say the same about the Ford Ecosport, a dated design with concerning crash-test results.
