These are some of the best compact SUVs currently on sale
The best compact SUV cars 2023
The compact SUV is the best of both worlds for many people. You get that raised ride height which gives a more confidence-inspiring view of the road ahead, but without those large exterior dimensions that can make full-size SUVs more difficult to live with.
Because of this, there are plenty currently on sale. If choice is what you’re after then you’ve come to the right part of the motoring world - but which should you go for? Here, we’ve picked out some of the best currently on sale.
Volkswagen T-Roc
Volkswagen really nailed the compact SUV formula with the T-Roc. It was first introduced in 2017, but since then has become even more premium-feeling inside and out. It’s also well made, with great materials used throughout the cabin.
It’s ideal for small families, too, with its 445-litre boot bringing more than enough capacity for most occasions. Volkswagen recently updated the T-Roc, too, adding more standard equipment and an even more upmarket finish for the cabin. Luckily Vertu Lease Cars has two fantastic deals on the T-Roc Hatchback 1.5 TSI R-Line auto and for those taking advantage of the warmer weather how about the T-Roc Convertible 1.5 TSI R-line Auto?
Toyota Yaris Cross
The Yaris is one of those go-to names in the compact car business, but Toyota has seen fit to develop a version that has a little extra presence. Enter, the Yaris Cross, a more SUV-style interpretation of the regular Yaris.
It’s got a higher-up driving position, plus some styling features that draw inspiration from larger SUVs. But it remains just as efficient and good to drive as the standard Yaris - what’s not to like?
Ford Puma
Though the Fiesta might have been the household name, it’s the Puma that tops the charts in terms of popularity these days. It’s underpinned by the same platform as the Fiesta, in fact, but brings more in the way of practicality.
You get some excellent engine choices, too, while the clever 90-litre ‘MegaBox’ - a drainable storage box underneath the boot floor - is really handy for wet wellies or other gear.
Kia Niro
If you’re wanting to dip your toes into the electrified car world, then the Niro is a great place to kick things off. It’s available with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains, so there really is something for everyone.
A second-generation model has just hit the market, too, bringing with it a striking new design and a more upmarket interior.
Skoda Kamiq
Skoda has a wide range of SUVs available, but the Kamiq is easily one of its most accomplished. It’s got loads of interior space, solid build quality and a 400-litre boot to help make it a great choice for all types of drivers.
All versions get plenty of standard equipment, too, while well-judged suspension helps to make the Kamiq really comfortable.
Mini Countryman
If you’re after an SUV with a little more character, then the Countryman could be right on the money. It’s got all the style and character of the standard Mini Hatchback but with a much-needed boost in space and practicality.
There are plenty of options when it comes to personalisation, too, while a plug-in hybrid version adds some useful efficiency.
