Top-5 2022 Compact SUVs

SUVs are now more popular than ever, especially compact SUVs. Consumers love them for their unmatched versatility and capabilities, not to mention the delightful driving experience they deliver.

They have slowly taken over the market away from mid-size sedans: while comfortable and capable, these simply don't offer as much cargo space as an SUV.

So if you need to transport equipment on a regular basis, if you have a family or if you just can’t resist their stylish look, compact SUVs will have you smiling from ear to ear.

How to choose your SUV?

The first thing you will have to do is decide on your budget. Depending on the make and model, a compact SUV will generally cost between $25,000 and $50,000, except for luxury models and the more lavish trims which can be much more expensive. You will also have to determine what your priorities are: do you need a lot of cargo space? Or are 4x4 capabilities more important for you?

If all-terrain capabilities are your priority, you'll be spoiled for choice with the huge selection of models offered by Jeep: not only do they deliver legendary off-road capabilities, but they also are also packed with plenty of features!
