The Best Compact SUV of 2016
July 14, 2016
This week, Cars.com published a detailed review/comparison of recently remodeled compact SUVs. If you're in the market for one of these vehicles, you should definitely check it out.
They go into great detail about what they like and don't like about each vehicle, and compare things like comfort, interior, cargo space, and room for child seats. Their top pick is the 2017 Ford Escape, followed closely by the 2017 Kia Sportage.
As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
