2017 Compact SUV Challenge Video

CARS.COM — With gas still relatively affordable, compact SUVs are booming in sales popularity. These cars combine family-friendly features with a higher seating position and a little extra utility that appeals to many shoppers. We took the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2017 Honda CR-V, 2017 Jeep Compass, 2017 Mazda CX-5, 2017.5 Nissan Rogue and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, and compared them all to the 2017 Ford Escape — the model that won this comparison the last time we did it.
