From the way things are panning out, this year may be remembered as the battle of the small SUVs. With efficiency improving so rapidly, consumers are opting away from sedans and into the versatility of compact crossovers.

And that trend has been a catalyst for a number of automotive producers who have developed new lineup additions to meet their customer’s ever-growing demand for something big but small.
