Small crossovers have flair, are the right size for the city, and offer enough ground clearance to become more versatile and more competent alternatives to sub-compact and even compact cars. It’s up to consumers to determine their needs. For instance, a small family with a single child could easily live with a crossover like the Renegade or HR-V. With two toddlers and their necessary gear, however, you’d be wise to buy a larger model.
If you’re in the market for a small crossover right now, selection is great. Time will tell if automakers sell enough of them to keep the trend growing.
