Among hyper-competitive compact crossovers, the Subaru Forester keeps pace thanks to its value and standard all-wheel drive.
The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are must-drives in the class—they’re stalwarts for good reason.
The RAV4 looks better this year and is intuitive.
The Honda CR-V is spacious and easygoing too, a hybrid model is on the way.
The Mazda CX-5 is fun to drive, but its price is creeping up ever-higher.
The Ford Escape is new for 2020 and the Sport Hybrid is what we’d recommend, but it’s also very car-like.
The Chevy Equinox is a popular model, but now lacks a standout feature.
