Impressive range for the price, held back by slow DC charging and a small cabin.
Check before you buy
Early cars charge slowly on DC and were subject to a battery recall; check the pack was replaced.

- Chevrolet Trax: Front-wheel drive only and slow, but the cheapest newish thing that seats five.
- Jeep Compass: Cheap for the capability, but reliability and resale are both weak points.
- Jeep Renegade: More off-road capable than any rival this small, and less reliable than all of them.
- Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: Cheap, warrantied to ten years, and completely forgettable to drive.
