A compact SUV with a specific family vocation. Its interior is spacious, as is its trunk. It's a car that suits those for whom comfort is more important than performance. In the 2017 edition, you will notice that the center console has been redesigned, still following this desire to give a luxurious look to the small compact SUV.

The Ford Escape is by far the best-selling compact SUV in its class. In its 2016 version, the Escape is known for its spacious interior as well as the ability to slide your foot under the rear bumper to open the trunk when you have your hands full. That was also the year that Ford introduced SYNC 3 technology. This is still present in the 2017 edition.

The body has been given a facelift and the interior has been given a luxurious touch that everyone wants to adopt.

In the SUV category, the Equinox is probably the most robust. It was designed to be able to pull heavy loads and its trunk is one of the largest. The stylists of the lineup were given the mandate to rejuvenate the model and they did so by updating the interior. True to form, the Equinox is a vehicle with an efficient build and a fair price.
5. 2017 Kia Sportage
This small, muscular-looking SUV gives the impression that the Sportage has finally found its way. The vehicle has a youthful, dynamic look and fully embraces the S of Sport Utility Vehicle. The electric steering has become more lively and the ride has become less sluggish. It can now compete with the biggest sellers.
6. Hyundai Tucson
A mid-size SUV, for small families, since there is no third row of seats. However, the spacious rear trunk allows you to bring everything you need for your roadtrip. It has a good price/equipment ratio and relies on its luxurious appearance to make you succumb to its charm. It distinguishes itself from other vehicles in its category by its square shape.
7. Volkswagen Tiguan
Although it's among the "smallest" in the SUV class, the Tiguan rivals them in terms of its excellent handling. It has VW's 4MOTION all-wheel drive system that increases traction, stability and promotes exceptional straight-line driving, even in severely adverse weather conditions. It's a model that ages well.
8. Honda Pilot
The 2016 version of the Pilot was highly anticipated as Honda had announced that a complete change would be put forward for this model.
