If you’re going off-road, your shopping list should probably start with the Jeep Renegade and end with the Subaru Crosstrek.
The Subie delivers better value for the money and more capability than all but the Renegade Trailhawk.
For those less intent on getting dirty, the Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V can be surprisingly fun to put through their paces and they deliver good fuel economy.
The Hyundai Tucson scores for value and has styling that belies its low price.
Finally, the Chevy Trax is worth a look if price is your main consideration.
