    Small SUVs

    The smaller end of the SUV market is growing rapidly, with plenty of cheaper compact SUV or mini SUV models available that offer SUV practicality for the price of a small hatch.

    Best SUVs according to our experts

    01.
    Kia Seltos
    From
    $29,780
    7.0/10
    From
    $29,780
    The Kia Seltos Sport+ is as good‑looking as ever and offers families who might be tight on space, an affordable small SUV. The features list has been expanded to keep up with the market, but is it enough to satisfy?

    Toyota C-HR
    From
    $42,990
    7.7/10
    From
    $42,990
    Top of the Toyota C‑HR range is the GR Sport, which starts from $54,990. As well as being more powerful ‑ we’ll come back to that, too ‑ it gets unique styling outside, plus synthetic leather‑accented and suede seats inside, aluminium scuff plates, and a heated GR Sport steering wheel.

    Hyundai Kona

    7.4/10
    From
    $32,000
    The top electric Hyundai Kona proves it still has the looks, space and passenger comfort but how does it compete against its heavyweight rivals in an increasingly competitive EV market?

    Honda HR-V

    $36,700
    6.0/10
    From
    $36,700
    The third‑generation Honda HR‑V has great kerb‑side appeal ‑ the new shape and coupe‑like styling gives it some cred in a market that's flooded with 'cool' little SUVs. There's no denying Honda has the design of this one right, but after driving the Vi X for a week with my family (including two road trips)... the overall performance didn't quite match the looks.

    Mazda CX-3
    From
    $26,950
    7.4/10
    From
    $26,950
    The 'light' SUV segment is one of the most hotly contested in the Australian new‑car market and the Mazda CX‑3 leads it in sales by a country mile. But heading into its ninth year, is this evergreen performer still ahead of the ravenous pack? We spent a week with the mid‑spec Evolve model to try and find out.
