Today we cover the top 5 best compact SUVs for 2023. This is according to Consumer Reports! This is based on price, comfort, amenities, efficiency, tech, performance, and other factors.
2023 Honda CR-V
The 2023 Honda CR-V introduces the small SUV’s new generation, with extensive improvements that should keep it competitive in its segment. The fuel economy is comparable to the Toyota RAV4 and technology and infotainment are on par with the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sorento, the improvements should return the CR-V to the top of its class.
2023 Lexus NX
The Lexus NX has remained competitive in the fiercely competitive compact luxury SUV market thanks to a complete facelift from last year. For a sumptuous and contemporary appearance, mix deliberately designed interior space with sharp exterior aesthetics. The NX drives smoothly on the highway with no road or wind noise, continuing the luxurious experience. Even in its more aggressive F Sport trims, the NX isn’t a performance vehicle, even though there is adequate power for confident passing.
2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime
The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime, which borrows a name from the Prius lineup, is the plug-in rechargeable variation of Toyota’s best-selling RAV4 compact crossover. But in contrast to the previous-generation Prius Prime (a new one is soon coming), the RAV4 Prime has 302 horsepower and nearly twice the range on electricity alone.
2023 Nissan Rogue
Nissan’s tiny SUV, the Rogue, stands out in a crowded market thanks to a few key features. Its ample load room makes it quite useful. Additionally, numerous essential safety features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are included as standard equipment with this Nissan. The comfortable interior of the top trims features a stylish design and high-end materials.
2023 Toyota RAV4
The five-passenger Toyota RAV4 is a compact SUV that combines size, performance, and features to target the core of the market. Its size is smaller than the three-row Toyota Highlander and larger than the subcompact SUV Toyota Corolla Cross. The base RAV4 offers mediocre performance from its regular four-cylinder engine and is available in a wide range of trim levels.
