An SUV is a body-shaped vehicle characterized by large wheels and increased headroom, sporty and reliable design. The SUV usually has a rough appearance that inspires fun and adventure.
The high seating position provides excellent visibility, and there is plenty of usable space inside. The real meaning of SUV is that you can travel, get off the car and enjoy life almost anywhere.
The SUV is also ideal for carrying passengers and heavy or bulky loads, and SUV is ideal for all types of road conditions, trails and bumps. It is this ability to go anywhere that makes you feel confident when driving an SUV. (1)
Mazda CX30
Although the size of the Mazda CX30 2021 is similar to the CX3 SUV, it is a more modern and popular product. It borrows the styling, interior design and power system of the Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback, and adds a slightly elevated suspension to give it (if rarely) the driving feel of an SUV.
The 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine provides sufficient power, and can be equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; the more powerful 2.5-liter turbo engine is optional and comes standard with all-wheel drive.
Inside, you will find a nearly first-class cabin that should give more expensive competitors such as Audi Q3 and BMW X1 a respite; Mazda also provides many standard vehicle handling functions.
If you prefer ultra-compact SUVs to similarly priced cars or hatchbacks, we think the CX30 is at the top of your shopping list. Their price stands between $32,000 to $45,000.
Hyundai Kona
Even after three years of launch, Hyundai Kona 2021 continues to attract people’s attention with its bold styling, but this SUV is not just a styling element, it also offers clear handling and a bold optional four-cylinder turbo engine.
In order to be able to upgrade to a 175-horsepower turbo drive, the basic model of the naturally aspirated engine is slower, but it is still very fun to drive. The interior of Kona is beautifully decorated and can be used comfortably by four adults, although headroom and rear-seat cargo space are not as spacious as its larger competitors.
Despite the actual flaws, Kona is still one of the most beautiful. As well as the best small SUVs today, we are happy to recommend them to others. Hyundai Kona price is around $32,000. (1,2)
Volvo XC40
The interesting and original Volvo XC40 combines everything of our favorite brand’s large SUV with a younger appearance and attractive driving style, winning the Editor’s Choice Award. Volvo offers two different four-cylinder turbo engines: the 184-horsepower T4 is front-wheel drive, and the more powerful 248-horsepower T5 comes standard with all-wheel drive.
Inside, shoppers can look forward to a well-thought-out cockpit with many storage boxes and various high-tech features. Compared with most small crossover competitors such as BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA-class: XC40 adopts a more advantageous driving position, so it feels bigger than it actually is. Volvo prices are starting from $42,000.
BMW X1
Under the somewhat anonymous appearance of the 2021 BMW X1, an interesting chassis hides, making this small SUV a successful character. All X1s are equipped with a 228-horsepower four-cylinder turbo engine, which can significantly save power and fuel.
It is full of energy and offers the same refreshing handling and driving culture as many of the familiar BMW brands. Inside there is a spacious cabin that can accommodate four adults, and a large cargo area for luggage, groceries and bulky items.
However, the material and a pair of stool-shaped front seats slightly weaken the X1’s gloss. If you are looking for a sportier compact SUV with round edges, check out the mechanically similar X2 that we tested separately. BMW price range starts from $32,000.
Volkswagen Tiguan
There are many good choices in the compact SUV segment, but one of our favorite models is the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, which is currently one of the more comprehensive choices. It is elegant in style, fully equipped and practical.
In addition, Volkswagen is one of two compact SUVs. They offer an optional third row of seats (the second row is Mitsubishi Outlander). All models are powered by the same 184-horsepower four-cylinder engine, which is certainly more powerful. However, fuel economy is on par with competitors such as Honda CRV and Toyota.
RAV4-Although the Tiguan offers the same clear driving dynamics that we like in most Volkswagen model series, its practicality makes it truly profitable and their price range starts from $32,000.
Honda CRV
If you are looking for a compact SUV with strong versatility, you will know that the Honda CRV 2021 can meet almost all needs. The two-story Honda provides an attractive and spacious cab, as well as a series of loading solutions suitable for freighters and travel.
Its four-cylinder drive system-turbocharged and hybrid-is extremely fast, and both have significant consumption figures. It is also equipped with many active safety features and provides all common technologies.
These qualities and exquisite appearance make the 2021 CRV one of the best compact SUVs suitable for small families. And their prices is as minimum as their quality which starts from $23,000.
Porsche Macan
With an improved chassis, a powerful turbo engine and a comfortable cab, the Porsche Macan 2021 is a dual-use package that is different from other vehicles on the road today. It’s impressive, and the Macan’s suspension is the epitome of balance: sharp turns, but not so stiff that you give up your comfort on the road.
This flexibility puts Macan on our list of the 10 best engines of 2021. Some car enthusiasts may complain about SUV penetration, and we have similar complaints, but Macan has hardly compromised. Even the most avid SUV skeptics deserves respect. Porsche Macan prices starts from $56,000.
Mercedes
Mercedes AMG used the standard GLC class to develop the high-performance GLC43 and GLC63 SUVs in 2021, and the results speak for themselves. 469 PS twin-turbocharged V8 (GLC63), both provide dazzling acceleration and sharper handling compared to the standard model.
Despite their performance potential, each one retains the GLC-level sophistication, and has a unique interior with a variety of modern technologies and luxurious accents.
It may be more practical or thinner, but the GLC-class AMG SUV provides everything a driver can dream of. These are including in most luxurious cars and their price range is starting from $63,000. (1,2)
