This top 5 for best subcompact SUVs for 2025 will help you choose the perfect vehicle for your summer getaways.
On our roads for nearly 10 years, the 2025 Honda HR-V offers a spacious interior, a generous amount of cargo space, an all-wheel drive system, and at least two other key qualities: reliability and durability.
Here are some of its key features:
The 2025 Honda HR-V specs will reveal even more features that prove that this Honda SUV is not only skilled, but also highly versatile. It will be your favourite companion both in urban settings and out on the open road.
First introduced in 2020, the Hyundai Venue has yet to come up with a new generation and, for 2025, offers few changes.
But it is a well-equipped subcompact SUV that is fuel-efficient and that offers an overall user-friendly infotainment system. What sets it apart in this top 5 is its attractive price.
On the downside, the 2025 Hyundai Venue is not available with all-wheel drive and rear-seat passengers may find it a bit challenging to stretch their legs. The cabin is somewhat narrow.
Here are some key features of the 2025 Venue:
In short, while the 2025 Hyundai Venue is offered at a competitive starting price, keep in mind that it does not offer the same levels of power and performance as the Honda HR-V.
In a practical and compact size, on top of a dynamic driving experience and reassuring off-road capabilities, the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek earns its spot in this top 5.
The engine, however, is less powerful than that of the Honda HR-V, and cargo space is also slightly smaller.
Let's review some of its key features:
Finally, note that the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek remains a good vehicle, much like the renowned Honda HR-V. It is often criticized, however, for the infotainment system that is rather confusing and difficult to use.
Introduced for the first time in 2022, the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross offers a spacious cabin, good fuel efficiency and, much like the HR-V, it is a vehicle with a strong resale value.
On the other hand, the driving experience is not necessarily enjoyable, and the engine is noisy. Finally, unlike the Subaru Crosstrek ‒which provides an infotainment system that is not so user-friendly‒ the Corolla Cross’s infotainment system is rather easy to use.
Here are key details about the 2025 Corolla Cross:
It is a reliable vehicle, though sometimes you may have to wait a little longer for it to become available in dealerships.
The 2025 Kia Seltos first appeared in 2021. This agile subcompact SUV is enjoyable to drive. It is also spacious and comfortable, and offers excellent road handling.
Much like the Toyota Corolla Cross, the engine is somewhat noisy and the CVT automatic transmission is not as effective when the engine is pushed at higher speeds. Nevertheless, the Seltos provides you with several fun and useful technologies.
Here are some additional details about the Korean SUV:
In this top 5 of best 2025 subcompact SUVs, other vehicles that could have been included in the lineup include the Hyundai Kona, the Volkswagen Taos, the Mazda CX-30, or even the Chevrolet Trailblazer, given that these SUVs also boast impressive features.
