9 Best Small SUVs

Get the Small Sport Utility Vehicle You Really Need

Small SUVs are the hot vehicles right now. Most of the vehicles that fall into the small SUV category are actually crossovers, but the simple fact of the matter is that most buyers don’t make the distinction between the two, so I will set that distinction aside for now and simply show you what you came to see: the best small SUVs for 2020. And there are some really, really good ones for this year. 

Small SUVs these days have to do everything really well and feel bigger and more badass than they really are. They’re the every-man car but the people driving them don’t want to feel like an everyman. They want a vehicle that presents a bold and often rugged face to the world but are soft, comfortable, and easy to drive in reality—at least most buyers do.
