We round up the whole segment and give you the low-down on all the biggest brands' petite SUVs.
Jeep Patriot
What its platform mate, the Jeep Compass, lacks in off-road ability, the Patriot makes up for
with its trail rated badge. Though still not the best highway cruiser,
the Patriot is a true entry-level Jeep. Priced very comparably to the
Compass, the Patriot gets the nod for those who yearn for
a good ol' fashioned trail ride without breaking the bank.
