- Опубликовано: 24 май 2015
- For the second year in a row our annual small SUV comparison test took us from Southern California to the greater Phoenix area for some Cactus League baseball. Six editors logged more than 100 miles in each of the six test vehicles, and our collective findings and insights are captured in this video.

*Our comparison tests are different from most in that we keep the focus on comparison, not competition. We don't pick winners and losers because the right choice for one buyer is the wrong choice for another. Our goal here is not to tell you which car to buy, but to make it easier for you to decide which is best for you.

Honestly out of all of those i liked the Mazda Cx-5 looks really good, and interior is nice.
Outlander Sport but no Forester or Rogue. That makes perfect sense...
Why no Forester or Rogue, just because they have CVTs? Foresters are good cars you shithead!
The Outlander Sport and CR-V have a CVT also...
ThinkOutsideTheCube
I already know that you idiot
lol
ThinkOutsideTheCube
Why would you say yes to the Outlander Sport when it has a CVT but decline two other vehicles with CVTs as well? That makes no dag sense to me.
We just got the CX-5 and we love that SUV.
The Mazda CX-5 is absolutely amazing. It has a beautiful sporty look with smooth handling and excellent handling.
CR-V is best overall. If you don't agree, then just look at it's sales numbers.
hey sir can u do a review for 2015 or 16 Nissan armada?
I love our base model Mistu 4wd drive automatic, for the price point (18K) can't see how it can be beat. It's a winter beast and way sexier than the rest of the field.
Why didn’t you include the Subaru Forester 2015 in this review? Excellent video though. 👍
How about the Subaru Forester
By FAR the best crossover. If only the XT came in manual...
Aaron Teh Tze Loong Isn't a Forester a Mid Size and not compact SUV?? That is probably why it isn't here.
Aaron Teh Tze Loong
Or the audi Q5, volkswagen tiguan, Porsche Macan and we could go on and on.
+USFanLovesMinHo Yeah, it is now. We just sold our 04 5 speed for a new CVT Forester Premium. I liked the size of our past Forester, to be honest. But it has a much nicer rear seat, and a rear facing car seat fits was better. I had my legs in the dash in our older one. They are considered mid size now, btw
+bighands69 yee
Some errors in this test. First is the already mentioned missing Forester, showing the blind spot monitoring on the CX-5 and calling it "lane departure warning" and the As tested price on the Cherokee was a whopping $36,400 and that wasn't considered a negative.
Hey how's it going? Like it last shocking What's your opinion about that, guys
Why the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport? That is subcompact. The correct comparison should have been with Mitsubishi Outlander SE or SEL or GT.
People are always amazed with Kia/hyundai offering heated and cooled seats. Owned a 2004 expedition with heated and cooled seats.
...as I'm looking at keeping my car for 20yrs I went with the Rav4 but honestly the CX5 looks best.
That Mazda CX-5 as shown in this review does not sticker for $32k. That is a touring trim so it shouldn't be any more than $28k with all options.
Buick got their cars from Opel, who makes economical cars. Can they be counted as non-premium cars?
The subaru forester where is it
where is suzuki grand vitara,nissan rogue and acura rdx??
Wait until the 2016 Hyundai Tucson comes out in a few weeks, That is gonna be the serious challenger to the Honda CR-V and the Mazda CX5
Yes sir crv or rdx all days..
Forester?
Where's the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, the Nissan Rogue and the Subaru Forester?
+Penelope416 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is considered a Midsize. The Rogue and the Forrester are the compacts.
+Penelope416 Does not beat Ford Escape 24O Hp and 270 Torque on the top trim Titanium!
+Charles allen jr Wouldn't the Hyundai Tucson be a compact since it's smaller than the Santa Fe?
+TheGunnyBadger The Hyundai Tucson is a compact. The new 2016 hadn't come out yet. They could have used last year's model for the Hyundai Tucson.
THE FORESTER AND ROGUE ARE!!
Does anyone actually find this RAV4 to be good looking? Especially compared to competitors like the Escape, CR-V, Rogue, CX-5 or Sportage.
WuWei Xu I prefer the Macan.
GoosedOff&Friends Good for you. Irrelevant comment.
WuWei Xu Why is an irrelevant comment such a big deal to you?
GoosedOff&Friends Liking your own comment? That's sad.
+WuWei Xu the Rav4 definitely could use a better looking front end. other than that, I'd buy one myself
I would've assumed a Nissan Rogue/Juke would be a better fit than Jeep Cherokee for this test.
Instead of having the ASX here they should have tested the Ford Escape and the Nissan Rouge, both are strong competitors for all of the suvs listed in the video and are in the same segment. They definitely worth a quick review or at least a mention.
*Nissan Rogue
Escape? which is the best in class.
DevPack to bad it isn't, the Nissan Rogue has more cargo space and better gas millage and costs less but you get a lot for a cheaper price
The escape and crv are the top selling vehicles in the class. The nissan Rogue is a piece of crap compared to it.
you get so much more with a base Rogue than a base CR-V, the base CR-V gives you ugly rims, plastic handles and a boring interior! Nissan is much better priced then both Honda and Ford and you get a lot more for less money!
DevPack I prefer Hondas from the 2000's. WHY DID THEY TAKE THE ELEMENT OUT OF PRODUCTION?????
Literally though. It's adorable, has a crapton of rear seat legroom, and a simple interior. Also very good for utility purposes.
CR-V I agree with being number 1. However, some other SUV's that should've been on the list include the Ford Escape, Subaru Forester, Hyundai Tuscon, and the Chevy Equinox/GMC Terrain.
Bill Deco They are reviewing compact SUV's not mid size SUV's.
I think the Escape and the Forester fall as compact SUVs cause I saw them both in a top 10 compact SUV videos, along with the Chevy Equinox/GMC Terrain.
No Chevy Equinox or Ford Escape? Also the CX5 is the most stylish and will blow the competition out of the water
how is nissan juke 2015 model not in this comparison? its more popular in many countries than most of theese
mikkel olsen Nissan Juke is a sub-compact SUV. It also looks like a mutated mix between an ant and a turd.
There's a reason for limited luxury features on the Mazda CX-5 such as power lift-gates and rear vents. They all add weight and therefore sacrifice fuel economy. Plus, unless you're disabled, the power lift gate isn't needed. Same goes for rear vents. The front vents monitor the temperature of the car just fine. Only thing I'm pissed off about is the location of the second auxiliary outlet. Why did they put it behind the rear seats and not the center console?
The prices are too high. I would go for luxury small suv ( Acura RDX, infinity ex37, audi q3, bmw x3 x1, ect.) or mid size suv. ( highlander, murano, pathfinder, venza ect.)
Missed out putting the Nissan rouge
jose suarez They did in last year's comparison.
Really wish Jeep could improve their reliability (or perceived reliability; not sure how accurate that perception is). It would be my first choice by far, except for that.
..and what about the jeep renegade
No Tiguan? whaaaaa
Where is Nissan x-trail?
I'm surprised the Jeep Cherokee is considered a "compact" The new Cherokee is borderline "Midsize" I could see the Jeep Compass/Patriot as the true compact.
Charles allen jr It'd be stupid to have a car company have 2 or more vehicles in the same segment. Apparently, Jeep was stupid enough to do that.
good video but where the subaru Forester?
Jerry Julien It was in last year's comparison.
No Mitsubishi Outlander?
where's nissan or subaru ?
The CX5 is the most desirable vehicle here, if it were possible for people to actually get excited about this class.
36k Canadian? For the CRV? Or is that u.s. Dollars?
Carlos Guevara U.S.
Nissan Pathfinder???
why did you not test the Lincoln MKC ???
inland85 For the time being, our comparison tests don’t include luxury models and focus instead on more mainstream and high-volume models.
bradh716 Because majority of the people don't buy luxury cars and they are more focus on saving money that is why ***** decided to review this types of SUVs.
+inland85 Lincoln?! Escalade?! Sorry to have to say this but do you know Europeans laugh at those hunking lumps of bling because they are economically inefficient, lousy for maneouvering, not suitable for rugged trails, and lousy quality compared to Euopean and Japanese SUVs.
+Kelley Blue Book Leaving out Subaru here is a disappointment. Next time please include. Thx
It seems no matter which one you pick, they are all competent and capable. But for those who think that one is better then the other because of sales number, you're either a fool, ignorant or both. Everybody doesn't want to drive a me to vehicle. I could purchase either one of these, but because of my personal taste, it would never be a CR-V. Its slow, personally hideous to look at and the noise that the CVT makes while excellerating is unacceptable.
Forester is the class reference.
WHERE IS TRAX M8
There should be the model x
Cx-5 wins!! :)
Whare is the hyundai Santa fe?
The Santa Fe is definitely not a compact SUV
What about the smaler one the Tucson?
khalid Al Hawsawi there 12 compact SUV's so KBK choose 6 of them for this video
khalid Al Hawsawi It wouldn't be fair because a new Tuscon is around the corner , I saw some pics and it's really nice
khalid Al Hawsawi That is a mid size SUV.
CX-5 > RAV-4 > JEEP > Honda > Sportage > Mitsu.
my favorite suv is the bmw x5
Honda CR-V ! Because interior is very stylish, big and comfortable !
Sean Mangubat HONDAs always will have the #'s to say they're cars are selling and it's only because of reputation. (just like TOYOTA) some folks won't walk away to see what else is better. I bought the GRAND TOURING MAZDA CX5 and lemme tell you... it's sportier, faster, and waaaaaaaay better to look @ than the CRV.
I want the jeep and Mitsubishi
For me the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the best here!
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Fan No surprise. I can tell just by looking at your name.
Haha I knew someone will come and tell me that lol
As a rental car agent, I've driven ALL these vehicles a ton of miles. My honest opinion: buy a Ford Escape. Hands down this vehicle has it ALL. Styling. Acceleration. Fit and Finish. Mileage. Handling. Durability - believe me, rental cars take a BEATING, and the Escape comes back for more. Seats are comfy and with power can adjust to fit even my 5'11" frame. Controls are well laid out, easy to reach, with steering wheel controls for many functions. Get the touch screen upgrade for NAV, Climate, Audio/Entertainment, and Phone functions. Visibility is an A+. I cannot say anything bad about this vehicle, and we have customers REQUEST the Escape specifically. Subaru, Nissan, and Mazda - flimsy, lots of parts break easily, look and feel cheaply made. Take all these vehicles for a test drive, and stomp on the accelerator... see which one puts a smile on your face. And listen for road and wind noise...
crv & rav4 quiet? how much they pay you? I drove both and 5 things that everyone notice,tires noise exaggerated ,wind noise too much,you can hear the motor like it would be in front of your face all the time,when you are passing a semi or any other car you can hear it like if the doors would be open,wind moves the whole car too much, the ride too stiff,are this suv like low rider?,and the worst,base price $25000 dlls? come on,I can not be the only one experimenting all this things
What? No Forester? Sacrilege! It's understandable, it'd have beat them all..
is the Dodge Durango not good enough for this list?
I think it's in a different category. Competes with Pilot, Pathfinder, Highlander, etc.
+John Appleseed thanks
*****
Np.
falta la nissan quasqai
I know this is a year old, but... no Tiguan?
I need to get a Job with KBB
Do a luxury SUV comparison!
xxijoseaixx It'd cost 'em a lot.
Or Nissan rogue
It's funny how in the USA these are called "Compact". Actually these are "Medium" SUVs because there are more compact SUVs. The Suzuki SX4, for example. The USA still has a legacy hankering for BIG and anything else is relegated "Compact". When is the USA going to use appropriate definitions like the rest of the world? When is the USA going to accept Turbodiesel which is by far the most suitable fuel for SUVs and for long drives in every car?
No Forester? 😕
The forester has an identity crisis... That's why. That thing always looked like it wants to evolve from a wagon to an suv but never came into fruition
How is Mitsubishi still in businesses?
UsernameUser They're hanging on by a thread
mark williams I've always thought they had interesting and innovative cars. The Outlander was a cross-over long before cross-overs became popular. The Lancer was a sporty, affordable sedan long before the segment re-emerged in the 2010s. Yet still, they always seemed decades behind when it came to the little details, like interiors, safety and performance. I'd probably never buy one, but I really hope they stay in business.
UsernameUser Me too . I would never want for them to go under. The car biz is dog eat dog so you better bring your A game.
Apparently they're the #1 selling car brand in Madagascar. Good for them.
UsernameUser They have that 10 year warranty because they wont be here to fulfill it.
Stop being impressed by 30 mpg, that was impressive in the sixties. Today it's poorthetic.
JEEP has 5yr/100,000mi power train warranty which is same for person who drives 20,000mi/yr. like me
10yr/100,000 warranty is NOT a transferable so no effect on your used car value
5 year 60000 mile warranty I own a 2016 jeep Cherokee
Not exactly a comprehensive list.
Overlooking the Honda CVT...again. It just needs to go.
rav4 for the win
korean and japanese cars are most reliable.
King Harry Motia These days, not Japnanese cars...
***** ? How so
american, german, spanish, c'mon they are not that reliable compare to korean and japanese cars.
***** spanish seat. we got fiat.
*****
what can you say to korean car makers? the santa fe and sorento? compare to german car makers and other brand they are more dependable and reliable but they are new in SUV segments. german car maker. is too old for this industry, but they can't find the key to make their cars reliable
Nissan x Trail????????????????????? I actually think that it should be here
Where's nissan x-trail?
wmphy *X-Terra. Also, it isn't a very efficient vehicle. Plus, it's in the midsize SUV category.
GoosedOff&Friends I bet he meant Rogue, it's called X-trail in Europe and Asia
mid size SUV comparison
2015 CR-V is the best
I like, manly looking, exciting, go anywhere and do-anything cars-- and the Renegade fits my needs fine. I don't like finely tailored, sissy looking cars like HRV, CX-5, etc. I know Japanese cars are reliable, but so is my grandfather's bullock cart. Most crossovers are like German hospitals- clean looking, tidy, efficient but not a you want to go on a holiday.
You don't have Dodge Journey
ARCH. M I'm assuming the Dodge Journey is a "Compact" same size as the Jeep Cherokee. I don't consider them "Compact" they're closer to "Mid-Size".
I really like the Jeep but it's reliability history is dismal
Only the 2015 had issues with transmission. The other year models were fixed to avoid the issues
no BMW x3 or x1?
***** They do not compete in this segment. X1 is too small, and X3 is priced higher than any of them top out at.
Tyler Allen the x3 is a compact and they never said that to be in the comparison you had to be cheap.
The X3 is in the premium compact segment.
Tyler Allen so that just means it's a compact with better options.
***** bmw x3 or x1 compete with Audi Q5 and Q 3, MB GLK and GLA obviously. They fall into the so called Luxury Compact SUV segment. so, no, no bmws.
and the Forester didnt make it int his comparison... because... wait for it.. wait for it... None of these can compare... FORESTER the BEast!!!
And the Mazda interior...dark, boring and so 1998 with an ipad on the dash.
Grand Santa Fe...Hyundai
jeep is best
Mazda6>Mazda cx5
I want sexiest rav4 lol
Just buy a Forester
whatever you choose, don't buy the Ford Escape. I regretted so much. The window is not insulate well, I can hear the wind noise after 2 months at around 60mph or if there is a strong wind. Their service is horrible. Especially the bluetooth disconnect to my phone very often when driving or on start up, it also decline to connect to my phone for couple days :|
it's a no Brainer not to choose Toyota. who the hell will buy any over 30k without reliability. honda Mitsubishi kia and American car only good for leasing
Does anyone else think it's weird that America is so obsessed with compact SUVs? A sport wagon is much easier to handle, more responsive, and has good cargo room.. A lot of American cities have bad traffic and it's probably easier to zip through traffic in a wagon vs. a heavier compact SUV with a little 4 cylinder engine
I wish we could follow the Europeans and get more sport wagons back into our market! I'd take a Jetta wagon over a crossover any day!
No Santa Fe Sport, Equinox, or Rogue? Those are the best CUV's in the segment! Even the Escape, which, surprisingly, sells like hotcakes even though it's a turd, isn't even mentioned!
+Evan Ganske +1^ Love the new Rogue, Santa Fe & Escape. Also the new '16 tucson is sick looking one. And check out the new Murano goose
Wetch better
Yeah I Can't Wait For The 2016 Lexus RX To Come Out And It's Beating The Honda CR-V's Ass
Fazlkarim Khan in price?
The RX Still Worth The Money Because Of All The Goodies The New RX Has Unlike The CR-V So Yes Also In The Price!
Fazlkarim Khan Of course it beats the CR-V you dumbass. Do you really think Honda would make their luxury brand car shittier than their CR-V?
Wu Wei Xu No You Dumbass Bitch
Fazlkarim Khan You answer "No" yet you thought your previous comment was smart. Dumbass.
Hahaha no Hyundai
Jeep quality is not there, attention to detail is poor. Honda is a shadow of its former self, do they even know what direct injection is yet? Toyota...yawn, you want more if the same? Kia, not a bad effort but why settle for second best? Mazda by far, new modern engine and transmission, great to drive, classy interior materials and regularly praised entertainment system.
Driver6M Mazda lover.
In this comparison yes. If I thought the Kia was better next time you'd be commenting "Kia lover" so what's your point? Obviously you love some other brand and i've offended you.
dont like any of them actually, sorry !!!! The Macan is the only one i'd consider !!!
katart4ever Finally, someone who appreciates the guys from Stuttgart.
I'd prefer the Cayenne though.
+katart4ever But the macan IS SO UGLY
All are garbage but the CRV but does not beat out the Ford Escape Titanium 240 Hp and 270 Torque!
+Jim Smith Yeah well the Escape broke down on it's way to the video with it's turbo issues so that's why it wasn't included.
+mark williams hahaha !,,
The Cherokee is the only real vehicle in this test. A regular front drive version is a rocket with the class leading 3.2 V6 and 9 speed auto puts these others to shame.
+Charles Marshall Jeep certainly has the best reputation for past to present reliability lol
