Choose your 2020 compact SUV

Compact sport utility vehicles, or, as they are widely known, compact SUVs, are one of the most popular choices of drivers who are looking for a convenient and spacious car with a large enough cargo capacity. Compact SUVs are right between mini SUVs and mid-size SUVs, however, you will hardly find any officially recognised dimensions which are making a vehicle a compact SUV. Furthermore, since this kind of personal transport was introduced to the market in 1983 for the first time, it was blurred with some versions of crossover cars.

Currently, the major feature of distinction between these two forms of vehicle is the construction of the body of such cars. While crossover automobiles are using a special unibody platform as a base, compact SUVs as well as SUVs in general are constructed on the body-on-frame chassis which is commonly used in trucks. If you are interested in the automobiles which are exactly compact SUVs, you will find some interesting options of 2020 below.

Regular compact SUV models

Regular SUVs might have a somewhat limited range of features, however, these cars are available at quite attractive prices.

Honda CR-V

If you are searching for a compact SUV with large cargo hold which is still featured with an attractive or even elegant interior design, you should pay your attention to Honda CR-V especially since this model is equipped with two highly efficient powertrains.

Some of the weak sides of Honda CR-V are its towing capacity which is somewhat limited and a bit long acceleration time. Still, this car is great for everyone who is looking for a practical SUV of a small size and who really appreciates refined design.

Toyota RAV4

Another great SUV with a stylish appearance is Toyota RAV4. This model of the popular brand is featured by quite a large cabin which makes it especially practical. Another advantage of this car which is not so popular among many other cars is exclusively high safety standards.

The features some experts find not particularly appealing are the driving dynamics of this model which is not especially efficient as well as somewhat noisy engine.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Don’t mistake Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for the original Toyota RAV4 model. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is also featured by a spacious cabin and advanced safety features, however, this car is a way more efficient than the standard version of Toyota RAV4.

Some drivers might find this car somewhat more expensive than other models using exclusively gas. Furthermore, in order to get really fun options, you will have to purchase the most pricey version of Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Yet, this is definitely a good choice for people who are attracted by the practicality of compact SUVs and the quality of the Toyota hybrid models.

Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX-5 is a particularly convenient model of compact SUVs offering its driver and passengers a smooth drive. The cars of this model are also featured with attractive design. Yet, if you need a car with a particularly large cargo space, Mazda CX-5 might not be the best choice for you.

Volkswagen Tiguan

One of the best choices for people who are really concerned about environment or, at least, about their own budget, would check the possibilities offered by Volkswagen Tiguan. One of the major advantages of this model of Volkswagen is outstanding fuel economy which is always a great feature of any car.

Although the driving experience of using Volkswagen Tiguan is really pleasant, you might find this car not as fast as some other compact SUV models. In addition to it, the use of the optional wheels of a large size can easily make the ride rather firm.

Compact luxury SUVs

Providing you are looking for the highest possible performance in a compact SUV model, then, you should certainly check the luxury models of this type. Still, you should be prepared to pay for such an SUV mo0re than for a regular one.

BMW X3

BMW X3 is a highly efficient model when it comes to its driving capacities. The powertrains used in this model are really authoritative whereas the engines are using the fuel in an optimal way.

Still, someone might find this model even a bit outdated since it is not equipped in Android Auto. Some drivers also believe the mirrors of this model are too small and thus offer rather limited visibility whereas the start and stop performed by the car is rather rough.

Porsche Macan and Porsche Macan Turbo

Porsche Macan excites its fans with fashionable exterior design  and fast speed. Undeniably, such a car stands out of the crowd. Yet, the basic form of this car has somewhat simple interior for a car of the luxury line. In addition to it, many users find its cargo hold too small.

These features were improved a lot in Porsche Macan Turbo which provides its driver with excellent efficiency and stylish interior. This version of Macan also allows its users to customise a wide range of elements in the car.
