Compact SUVs

Wherever you want to go as a driver or passenger, a compact SUV takes you there. It can negotiate rough terrain under uncertain weather conditions. But for city errands, it can also pamper passengers with comfortable seating and advanced tech. If you are looking for one to own, check out these models at the Beach Boulevard of Cars in Huntington Beach.

Why Compact SUVs?

Compact SUVs have a big advantage in tight spaces, like downtown streets during rush hour or crowded parking lots. They are sized to fit in smaller spots and can maneuver more easily through traffic than a large SUV, but they still have plenty of room for people and cargo.

One great example is the 2022 Kia Sportage, which comfortably seats 5 on 2 rows while carrying 30.7 cu. ft. of groceries or school products. Drop down the 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and your cargo room expands to 60.1 cu. ft.

Compact SUVs make weekend adventures more exciting as well. The Ford Bronco hits off-road trails with 250 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque from its 2.0-liter EcoBoost® and 8-speed automatic transmission. Standard on all trims of the 2022 Subaru Forester is Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which maximizes your grip on any surface, in any weather.

You'll be dazzled by all the tech available in this vehicle class. The 2022 Volkswagen Taos displays the information from a traditional instrument cluster on the high-resolution Volkswagen Digital Cockpit screen behind the steering wheel. You can always customize the display to show what you need to see. You'll stay in touch in the Toyota C-HR, which joins your compatible smartphone to the infotainment system, so you can make phone calls and access text messaging while you're on the road.

Affordability

If you are looking for a first vehicle or have a strict budget, these SUVs prove to be an affordable option. Technically, they're subcompacts, but you won't care too much when the Nissan Kicks® starts at such an agreeable figure. It has all the advantages of bigger cars, such as connections to your smartphone and a built-in WiFi hotspot when you want up-to-date information from the internet about the latest traffic report or the start time of the big game.

On the next level of affordability, the Mazda CX-3 will take you farther with an EPA-estimated 34 MPG on the highway. It protects with driver assists like Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go. It keeps a safe gap between you and the vehicle in front of you by automatically managing your speed when traffic conditions change.

Moving Ahead

You'll be in front of the power curve with compact SUVs that move you ahead using futuristic engines that minimize or eliminate carbon emissions. To achieve up to 40 MPG in the city, the powertrain of the 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid combines a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor and an electronic Continuously Variable Transmission.

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid supplements your road trips with up to 30 miles of pure electric power from its 66.9 kW electric motor and 13.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. Your combined system power reaches 261 horsepower.

For true electric motivation, you can go with the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt. It can run up to an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range, but still rushes from 0 to 60 in only 6.5 seconds. The trail-loving Jeep Wrangler gives you 49 miles of plug-in performance and recharges in only a couple hours from a Level 11 (240-volt) charger.
