Best Small SUV: Ultimate Comparison of 18 Crossovers Under $50K! | Chasing Cars

Thanks for watching! A few title corrections (when you have 100s of titles sometimes you’ll make a typo or two - but these didn’t make a difference in the analysis):
Fuel economy should read Kona 6.9, Venue 7.1, Seltos 7.4, Stonic 5.4. Then the annual fuel spend adds up properly!

I’ve had my Suzuki Vitara S for 7 years from new and still waiting for the first thing to go wrong.
Last year I changed the tyres for the first time.
That’s it !
P1sses through the MOT every year, annual service very reasonably priced, cheap to insure and run.
Can’t fault it.
Was thinking about changing soon purely because of its age, was looking at the Kamiq at our local Skoda dealership 2 weeks ago….

Recently I have taken my mum car shopping as she's looking for a new grand-child hauler as her current 2016 Mazda CX3 back seat is too small to accomodate the rear facing baby seat we have (with a passenger in the front).
We test drove the top-spec Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid and the top spec Subaru Crosstrek. We found the Toyota to feel quite lethargic off the mark around town, and felt the AWD capabilities were overstated/compromised. The Subaru felt a lot more punchy around town and had a more stable feeling ride to it.
Overall, we felt the Subaru was a better, more comfortable car, with much more cabin space (legroom in both front and back rows) as well as a nicer more confidence inspiring ride/engine package.

Take all reviews with a grain of salt and test drive as much as you can! We are off to test the Kia Seltos LTD AWD with the 1.6 turbo and the Hyundai Kona N-line with the same drive train soon, along with the CX-30.

Can you do the same video without the annoying background music?

How can you even know? Test again after 10/15 years

Shame, the T-Cross you have to test with the 1.5 dsg motor. Not cheap, but the best of them all. Bestseller 3e in EU !

my parents just bought a skoda kamiq, seems like it was a good choice he he

No mitsubishi ?!

Skoda?!

Suzuki S-Cross, Dacia Duster, Nissan Qashqai?

The greatest comparison I have ever encountered with. In the end of 2024\start of 2025 I am about to buy a new car that will replace Mazda cx30. The Kamiq is top contender overall.

Where's the Nissan Rogue?

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed for me

No

On the other side, what about reliability? I feel that often these comparisons lack information on longevity of transmissions, engines and electronics. This information is so critical. How are they after the warranty is over?

I wish someone in the US would do a comparison video as well as you guys do!

No the Skoda is a Turbo

where's the handling test for Yaris Cross and C-HR?

99% of tech is total nonsense. Never judge a car based on that

Can you clarify which Sonic GT-line you tested? it looks like it was the 100hp one. the 120hp MHEV is faster than 13s for 0-100km/h

None of them....SUVs are a blight on our country. Bring back the station wagon!!!

i thing SKODA KAMIQ

of course mitsubishi eclipse cross.

I have never hear of the Chinese car byd ? They rust put this in your review no galvanised steel used in Chinese cars ?? is this true

why wasn't the Mitsi Eclipse reviewed ?? that would have been a help

Why didn't you test it on an unpaved road? What are the advantages of SUV vehicles compared to standard vehicles?

Vitara?

Well done ❤

Suzuki Vitara 1.4 boosterjet mild hybrid auto, is superb.

Great timing for us, that we found this 'test'. We're after a small SUV. Skoda Kamiq is one of the SUVs we're looking at. Mitsubishi ASX and Kia Seltos are the other two. You've put in alot of work for us, so there's no need to spend hoiurs and hours test driving and researching

Nastiest Urban Roads: Literally Canberra roads :P

insert :where suzuki s-cross: meme

What a fun test. We hope to have a Toyota Corolla Cross in 2025. Lols on the wait time.

Comparing brakes is kinda pointless.
Any car has strong enough brakes to lock up the wheels.
It's all about the tires.

Great video!!!

SH-koda. The first letter is Š, not S.

I agree! I've had my Kamiq for 2 years Limited edition 110tsi. It's the best car. Still loving it. My warranty is only 5 yr so in 2026 I'll upgrade to the new 7 year warranty car. Also I got the first edition so it came with 5 years free servicing. What's not to love!❤❤❤

Hooow can u have a fully electric car compete with a pararell hybrid car like the corolla cross??......i mean ofc the byd will win the its got no lagg since its electric

Skoda 1st ? :D joke! Corola cross!!

My only concern with Skoda is the dealer service network availability or lack thereof

Great show! Cheers from Croatia, EU.

Mazda cx-5 is best.

Same result 2024 Skoda kamiq 2024 Monte Carlo

Why not the Suzuki Vitara? A very good small SUV and good value for the money.

バッテリー寿命と交換代金も教えて欲しいですね

Great video. Surprised with the winner but that doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Thanks for the great effort.

I live in Canada and we don't have all of the identical cars but enjoyed your comments and suggestions. It gave me lots to think about. Currently I have Mazda CX30. Toyota Cross sounds nice. P.S. liked your pronunciation of Hyundai. In Canada it is pronounced High-un-die.

Really Skoda? Ok first and last in this channel

All well and good but no handling results for the Yaris Cross. We are looking at buying one as the Corolla Cross is just a bit large for the wife.

It’s best if you like it.
