- Kia Seltos: More boot than anything its size, and the base engine is the slow one.
- Buick Encore GX: Quiet for the money, with a three-cylinder engine that is doing its best.
- Jeep Cherokee: Tows and climbs better than its rivals, and is thirstier than all of them.
- Volkswagen Taos: More boot than anything its size, and the automatic can be hesitant from a stop.
