Best Small SUV | Testing (almost) Every Compact SUV!

From big-hitters like the Toyota RAV4, to rugged options like the Ford Bronco Sport, and even hybrid options such as the KIA Sportage. If you’re shopping this segment of the market, at least a few of these SUVs will be on your short list.

RAV-4 is the number 1, no matter what these bozos say. If you want reliability and great resale value go for it.
Even though it’s a bit smaller would like to see how the VW Taos compares to the others.
All major reputable publications still rank the crv near or at the top (car and driver, Edmunds etc)
Y’all seem to have a fetish with Hyundai and Kia trash.
Cx50 looks good
How is Mitshubishi Outlander 2022 not here?
Good grief, other than the Bronco Sport all these cars are really ugly. I’m looking for a small SUV but I don’t want any of those.
You gave away the first place car before even getting to #1….why? Don’t be so uncool next time.
They straight up gave the middle finger to GMC terrain
I bought the Tucson instead of the sportage….the outside styling of the sportage is just too odd for me…although the interior is just wow NICE. But it’s great to see the sister cars finish 1 and 2. Love the Tucson…it just seems far more expensive that it cost…very smooth…quiet and stylish.
No EV’s in were even tested. That seems like a missed opportunity and I think pretty much invalidates the results because buying an new ICE vehicle in 2022 is a dubious decision at best. Ionic 5, EV6, ID4 Model Y, Mach-E, Kona Electric, etc. all would have fit in this class.
CX-5 is the best in the class , very high quality in fit , finish , handling and driving dynamics .
No one is going to talk about the reliability issues of the Nissan ? At least the top two Korean cars have the best warranty as well smh
Love my Mercedes gla. 36mpg
I mean toyota has a recall of 84k today. Their reliability has dropped
Mazda screw up on the cx50 on wheels. For an "off road, trail" vehicle it should just keep the smallest wheels possible so you have more rubber for rocks, but instead higher trims get bigger wheels, really? You want a better road handling…you got the cx5!!!
Some are changing the Rogue and Altima transmission fluid every 20 thousand miles, because so many need a rebuild. The all wheel drive Rogue has an extra cooler for the transmission, so they tend to go longer before the transmission starts to fail.
Funny how we now need more than 200HP to call an SUV adequate, remember the times when a V8 SUV would have less power than the least powerful vehicle here? Yeah a Grand Wagoneer with a monster V8 making a 140HP through a 3 speed automatic. How things have changed.
Given that you are a Canadian outlet, really annoying that you guys don’t bother to include Canadian units when mentioning MPG, etc..
Nobody in their right mind would buy a Nissan with a CVT if you plan on keeping it past 60,000 miles – Rogue included!
Good review from a viewpoint that excludes preconceived notions. Japanese cars excel in every way, but I feel that the times are gradually changing. Toyota doesn’t even come up with a decent EV.
Absolutely NONE of these cars are "small" SUVs. Get your eyes’ checked morons
damn the didnt even include the Ford Escape.. lol TF lol
Grate video. Kia and Hyundai in Europe are 12 am shorter, hence much smaller than Toyota or Nissan.
yh
Not a fair competition…. Base models vs top of the line models.
This cute little micro SUV has Fiat engine, 5star NCAP rating and its selling like a hot cake in Asia https://youtu.be/dg-B2EHwjZY
The non-turbo Mazdas have CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (aka: displacement on demand, variable cylinder management, variable displacement). Mazda has been having trouble with it with recalls, and service notices, plus in one vehicle that has it (3) they removed it for a year to iron out problems. Run away from these as used cars when they get older.
"pithy ":)
well done guys, this isn’t easy with this many.. pity but informative ..cheers Allan
Weird Mazda didn’t send their CX-5 Turbo??
How did they not include the buick encore gx?🤦♂️
VW’s are complete fucking garbage. Never buying one ever again.
You can definitely tell that these guys don’t worry about reliability because the top 3 are Kia, Hyundai, and Nissan…
Where is the ford escape and Chevrolet equinox and Mitsubishi Outlander and Jeep Cherokee
Rogue got my vote. For the family hauler, who doesnt care about acceleration, or turning sharp corners, Rogue is the best.
The new Kia Sportage is so ugly I can’t get past its looks. Hideous.
Looking for small SUV, they are not “small” at all.
I’ll take the Mazda CX5 OVER ALL OF THESE ANYDAY.
Only RAV4 !!
I don’t think that hybrids should have been included in this test at all.
Made a 20 mins video with two of the most unreliable SUV on the market on top spots. What crap!
The beard and shaved head is really working for him.
I needed a new car badly so started looking back in May. I test drove the Tuscon and Santa Fe, Toyota Rav 4 and Highlander, Acura RDX, Mazda CX5 and 9, Honda CRV, and maybe a couple others. I liked the Tuscon hybrid drivetrain, but wasn’t big on its interior or exterior styling. Liked the Santa Fe interior and how it drove and put a deposit on a "Luxury Hybrid" model, but Hyundai is very slow delivering more of them. The RAV4 and CRV left me cold. The Highlander was just too big. The RDX was nice but the tech was old and they’re hard on gas. So when I saw the new Sportage I liked the interior and exterior and knew I already liked the hybrid drivetrain (from driving the Tuscon), so based on a test drive of a 2.5 I4 model (gutless and noisy) I got on the waiting list back in May for a hybrid EX model. Got it in September and I’m pretty happy with it so far, with a few relatively minor niggles. Mostly to do with driving at night – the base model reflector headlights low beams aren’t great, and the grid for the heated windshield is distracting when lit up by oncoming headlights.
None of these vehicles are SUVs, they’re all CUVs/Crossovers.
I can’t believe these new vehicles don’t have automatic headlights. I’ve seen many of these including the Tuscan driving at night with only the DRLs on and dashboard illuminated. Nuts
Discovery Sport!
These are lease only vehicles unless you want to deal with engine problems.
Wish this vid had Time stamps
Love these conparos. Great reviewers and production quality. Keep up the good work aye!?
Great comparison. Wish it had no background music.
