TOP 5 SUBCOMPACT SUVS FOR 2024

EV Channels Review

The Motormouth couple presents their top five subcompact SUVs for 2024, acknowledging a disagreement on the fifth spot, leading to individual picks. The Honda HR-V is praised for its spaciousness and comfort, but criticized for its underpowered engine and lack of rear amenities. The Kia Seltos stands out for its exceptional value and features, particularly the turbocharged engine, though its styling is subjective. The Subaru Crosstrek is highlighted as a capable all-rounder with standard AWD and good ground clearance, but misses a power tailgate and electrified options. The Toyota Corolla Cross is lauded for its fuel-efficient hybrid option and standard AWD, offering good value, though its interior is deemed bland and the gas model's cabin can be noisy. The final picks reveal a divergence: Andrea champions the Mazda CX-30 for its performance and driving fun, despite its cramped rear and cargo space, while Zach advocates for the Chevrolet Trax, emphasizing its incredible value and spaciousness, though it lacks AWD and has a less proven 3-cylinder turbo engine. Honorable mentions include the Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro, and Volkswagen Taos, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
