Our Top 10 Subcompact SUV Picks in Canada in 2025 The competition is fiercer than ever in this segment, to the benefit of consumers.

Kia Niro

The Kia Niro is a unique entry in the subcompact SUV segment, as it's available exclusively with electrified powertrains: hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and all-electric (Niro EV).

Given that and given its size, the Niro offers excellent fuel economy. The interior is acceptably spacious, though those who find it cramped can cross the Kia showroom floor and check out the Seltos – more on that in a second. It also comes with a well-fed list of standard features.

If you want to reduce your environmental impact without sacrificing practicality, the pleasant-looking Niro is a top candidate for you.
