We round up the whole segment and give you the low-down on all the biggest brands' petite SUVs.

Introduction
Compact SUVs/crossovers are red-hot in 2010. Drivers have identified
the need to save fuel, but the prospect of tooling around in a
low-slung, buzzy econobox just isn't appealing to many. This is how the
compact SUV segment ignited. Take a compact car, raise it up, add an
all-wheel drive option, a dose of utility and a dash of rugged styling,
and you've got yourself one hot crossover contender. Leaving the luxury
brands for another guide, we've collected 19 models in the
Compact SUV/Crossover lineup (in alphabetical order) so you can visit
all of the biggest brands' dealerships at your leisure.
