Tiny crossovers are flooding American highways and byways. In 2015, the Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade joined the growing list of miniaturized SUVs, and now in 2016 the Fiat 500X, Honda HR-V, and Mazda CX-3 flesh out the roster of choices to no less than 14 different mainstream and luxury models.
That might be enough of a selection for you, but I’m going to raise the count and add the excellent Kia Soul to this group. Granted, the front-driver does not offer an optional all-wheel-drive system, but in every other respect the Soul is competitive with the other members of this relatively new class of vehicle.
