Yeah the one that has 1000 lower base price lets you chose A/C for 1000 extra if you want it. Just like the good ole days before you had to buy leather floor mats to get a sunroof.
The best choice is the jeep renegade latitude. It has back up camera, touch screen display, fog lights, rear spoiler,automatic up down front windows and auto down at the rear, privacy glass, handsome wheels, and a 6speed manual transmission. And yes it had ac. Only the base sport does not have ac. In this day and age, I the jeep renegade is the only vehicle I know who has all the new tech features with a manual transmission.
+M Zaier Nawaz yep. a little more power and fuel economy. even the base 2.0 from the civic will beat this junk 1.8 which is the only thing keeping me from buying this.
+Luke Hoisington Yes! That is a bitter truth. Actually the Newest Civic is Absolutely a Beast. I'm in love with that car. In Civic we always see some of the Best things in a Car and it really is the "Power of Dreams". The Thing I like about the HRV is that it is good and more compact while off-roading and it is meant to be.
LOVED our Encore. Ended up trading it in for a Mazda 3 eventually (no longer needed AWD) but can't recommend that car enough. Buick is doing it right these days
Love the Buick Encore! Looks small, sure, but it feels luxurious and roomy when you actually get in and drive it. Have gotten a lot of compliments. We have the 2019. Plus it has Buick's 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. Colors are pretty sharp too.
It's no more luxurious than the Chevy track and looks worse. The name plate ruins the car further. Every Buick today looks, drives, and does luxury horrible. The new Lacrosse isn't bad but the also new Lincoln MKZ beats it in every fashion and at that price point you could get a real luxury brand like Audi and Mercedes and Volvo. Buicks only saving grace is the Avista but they'll ruin it in production
+Michael Taffe the new lacrosse is actually better. anywhere you read gm is currently making some of the best chassis in the auto industry and gm reliability may not be great but take a look at ford its only a few spaces down from the very bottom.
Technically, the Kia Soul isn't considered an SUV because it doesn't offer all wheel drive. It's considered a compact hatchback. The next generation Kia Soul may graduate to a subcompact SUV.
So the Jeep Renegade and the Fiat 500X have the same powertrain but the Fiat is going to be unreliable and you like the Jeep? Biased. Then the CX3 is small but that's a good thing.
The Renegade, with its $30k as tested sticker (even higher for a TrailHawk) doesn't seem like quite the bargain when you realize for 6k more you can get into a Toyota 4Runner which has insane resale value. While it's not a subcompact SUV, it's also not huge.
How can you say the Jeep Renegade is much more reliable than the First 500X when they have the same power train? Biased much. Keep & Fist are the same vehicle underneath with a different body & styling.
I have HRV and I hate it. Bumpy suspension, steering is too soft, and acceleration with mediocre MPG. The phone system is difficult to use and likes to randomly pick any number I don't want to dial. I almost had gone with Mazda CX3 which drives sporty but lack of room and poor plastic quality. My runner up was the Subaru, is slightly roomier but the interior looks old. I didn't bother with Fiat because my friends new Fiat is always in the shop and poorly rated by consumer report.
I'm 6'2" and I could not fit comfortably in the HRV or CX3 when I was at the auto show. The Buick Encore was comfortable, as was the Renegade from a driving perspective. They didn't let us in the Fiat, but I would stay away from Fiats because of bad reliability.
big teddy haven’t owned any. Been too scared to get trapped in a lemon. If Consumer Reports, US News and World Report, and Reddit all seem to say Fiats are unreliable, then I’ll take their word for it. There is a reason the joke Fiat stands for “Fix it again, Tony” gets a laugh.
looks like the check from Honda came in. one thing I have noticed is that you have to find something to complain about just to seem like you are being fair.....nothing was mentioned about the coarse engine and the noise.......room in the back, really?....these auto channels are becoming ad channels.
They casually left out the two best Subcompact crossovers and coincidentally the two that really jump started the segment in the US. The Kia Soul and the Nissan Juke.
+Bradley Chapman I agree the Juke started it all in the U.S., but technically, the Soul is not a crossover because it is not offered in AWD. The Soul does compete well with the FWD versions though. Also missing from this KBB comparison is the Mini Countryman.
+TJBellamy99 I own a 2016 Kia Soul, and without AWD, it's not a crossover. It is crossover-like due to the higher ride height and cargo volume, but until Kia makes the AWD Trail'ster concept, its a FWD sub-compact hatchback that I would never go off-roading in.
Nah, the Ford Escape belongs in the compact SUV class not sub-compact. It competes with Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Jeep Cherokee, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota RAV4 and others :)

+HowieYisBored Technically, a SUV is body on frame construction. All of these, including the Jeep, are crossovers since they are of unibody construction.
Lol a 2016 model car without Air conditioning... i guess, if they want to see if some weirdos out their will buy it, and if the base price is a thousand less than with AC....
why not just buy a small awd wagon???? oh wait they are pretty much non existent. thanks to cuv's like these Subaru is kinda your only choice i think small cuv's are comprised vehicles. not big enough to be functional or practical nor do they posess any real off road ability except the jeep .
Should have included Subaru XV Crosstrek
I'm sorry, did he just say the renegade base does not come with AC??? Jeep better gtfo with that bs
Lmao that's sad

prettyrickyd47
Infiniti and it's crazy that the new Hyundai's Elantra GT has Heated And COOLED seats. wtf lls in a little Hyundai
Base Renegade has no A/C? What the hell Jeep?
Very few people buy the base model though
Maybe because lack of A/C?
Buick Encore FTW! Our 2013 used to see 39 mpg at 60 mph...with AWD. Love the.1.4T fuel economy.
The Trax and Encore continual sales rise in the subcompact AWD segment, Honda HR-V sales have dropped as their prices have risen.
Honda HRV. My favorite among them
they need to put the 1.5t from the new civic in the hrv. than it will be mine too

Honda HR-V all the way
Very underpowered. Looking forward for Hyundai Kona.
@@jonsmit3819 also true. I meant turbo charged, I guess
Did not talk once about Encores start/stop feature. Only the Sport trim, which is what they drove has it.
Mazda CX3!! dat style!
5:25 "the cx3's backseat is uncomfortably tight for adults" lol who else is buying a car? Children?
That Buick is really nice. No wonder it sells good.

+Michael Taffe lmao your comment is hilariously true
I can't wait to see the toyota chr on the road!
dygardion 91 it has the most polarizing design in my opinion.
Include the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
Hey, where's the Kia Soul? I'd like to know how that stacked up to these other cars? It's basically in the same class.
Technically, the Kia Soul isn't considered an SUV because it doesn't offer all wheel drive. It's considered a compact hatchback. The next generation Kia Soul may graduate to a subcompact SUV.
I love the honda hrv
Buick Encore Wins it hands down Its a Gorgeous car!!!
Best in segment and segments around it.
So the Jeep Renegade and the Fiat 500X have the same powertrain but the Fiat is going to be unreliable and you like the Jeep? Biased. Then the CX3 is small but that's a good thing.
What I was thinking while watching the video 😂
Toyota CHR needs to come out now!!
Lack of passenger arm rest in Encore/Trax is very stupid & a definite deal breaker.
Where is the Subaru Crosstrek ? ?
While the renegade was driving there was a blue pt cruiser in the background
Which would you say is the better quality suv, 2017 Chevy Trax or 2017 Buick Encore?
GM
The Buick Encore
+Psyciandra According to Consumer Reports and JD Powers, Buicks are generally reliability, but Chevys are not.
+cadsux the irony is that both are GM
If you born before World War Two go with the Buick. If you are under 70 go with the chevy
The Renegade, with its $30k as tested sticker (even higher for a TrailHawk) doesn't seem like quite the bargain when you realize for 6k more you can get into a Toyota 4Runner which has insane resale value. While it's not a subcompact SUV, it's also not huge.
I have a jeep renegade trailhawk and i love it
You bought a piece of shit

ganthc CX3 was way too small, I feel my S2000 has more trunk space than CX3!
@@ganthc Fiats bad reliability? How many have you had?

Speaking from experience, don't buy a Chrysler/Fiat product. Run don't walk away.
i want to know how the C-HR compares
No AC means I'll never take a chance on a Renegade. What a joke and a step backwards. that whole company should have been left to Die
The renegade might not have an AC but can be had with a stick shift.
if you don't care about AWD your better off getting a compact sedan
Why don't ypu have a juke?

the interior of the CX-3 beats all of them
I wonder why you always skip any Ford vehicles in this comparisons? Isn't Ford Escape just in that category?
Nah, the Ford Escape belongs in the compact SUV class not sub-compact. It competes with Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Jeep Cherokee, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota RAV4 and others :)
The new Ford Ecosport will come in for 2018. That will be the subcompact suv
Nice comparo!....which one among these is the quietest?
Buick
If Buick is 5 Starts for noise isolation (1 worst and 5 best), then how many starts would Honda HRV gets?
Too bad only new models are here, otherwise I, bet you would've included the Subaru XV, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Juke and and Kia Soul. :)
I hate that CTV Transmissions
Please put the 1.5t in the the HRV!
Won't matter as HR-V prices have risen thr sales have dropped in this hot segment.
Any vehicle that hasn't got 4 wheel drive and a locking gear BOX is NOT an SUV-- it's a CrossOver.
1:18 they did not give a s...h...I...t about the stop sign!
Buick is a Vauxhall in the U.K.
Sal Botman, and it's available with a manual transmission. Lucky.
Now make a HR-V si with Awd.
Who says SUVs have to be big? XD
No Hyundai Tucson?
It’s compact, and competes with cars like the RAV4, CRV, Escape, ect. The new Kona that wasn’t out yet competes in this class.
The meaning of SUV is distorted or, anyway term SUV is stupid too, just they aren't except Jeep here. All of them are tall wagons and hatchbacks.
Lol I thought all cars came with AC...wtf
No Crosstrek?!

29.2 MPG for the AWD HRV? That's surprising. New civic gets 42 MPG. I knew the AWD does suck more gas, but, this much?
Where is subaru?

Jeep Renegade 👍
In 2019 Honda made the infotainment better
Subaru Crosstrek is the best in this class
+Koo Joon The Crosstrek is a compact vehicle, not sub-compact.
If you are watching in 2019, get a Subaru Crosstrek.

why dafuq are any of these cars, minus the jeep, are called SUVs?!
because they have a higher seating position than regular cars
Lifted Cars
+HowieYisBored Technically, a SUV is body on frame construction. All of these, including the Jeep, are crossovers since they are of unibody construction.
cadsux i wouldnt say unibody cars can't be proper SUVs
Lol a 2016 model car without Air conditioning... i guess, if they want to see if some weirdos out their will buy it, and if the base price is a thousand less than with AC....
Toyota C-HR all the way!
Not an true AWD subcompact.
why not just buy a small awd wagon????
oh wait they are pretty much non existent.
thanks to cuv's like these Subaru is kinda your only choice
i think small cuv's are comprised vehicles.
not big enough to be functional or practical
nor do they posess any real off road ability except the jeep .
That fiat is horrible
I love mine. i have a treking olus does everything i expect, plus ranked #1 in safety, they didnt mention that
Shut up colton Fiat 500x is not horrible
Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep are the most reliable vehicles in the world by far
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA man you had me crying, thanks for the laugh. lol
Joshua R you're welcome lol, you blew my cover lol
never get a fiat 500x. Turst me !
Johnlim Male no I'm not going to trust you,you can't even spell right....
Do you still have the same thoughts?
