competition is simply fierce because of
this most compact SUVs these days are

stand out from the crowd as the leaders
in this video I'm gonna be picking out
the leaders of the compact SUVs I'll
highlight four of the best compact SUVs

year and by the way in case you want to
see the whole list of SUVs I've reviewed
so far check out drivers only rankings
calm okay let's get started first let's
start out by looking at the VW or
Volkswagen Tiguan dimension wise the
Tiguan is the largest compact SUV being
3 to 5 inches longer in length and in
wheelbase from its competitors because
of this the second row legroom is
enormous for this class and you also get
a massive trunk in the rear and because
of this extra length the Tiguan still
offers a third row option besides the
space the Tiguan being German has a
German look which stands out from the
crowd the exterior is bold and stylish
especially the Arline trims which add on
20 inch wheels and aggressive bumpers
the German look carries into the inside
the design on a door panel seats and
dash make the Tiguan feel like a luxury
car it is unmatched by others in this
class the digital cockpit and
infotainment screen are big and bright
and our interface is fantastic these are
lightyears ahead of anything else in
this class - an optional features such
as the 360 view camera system and
panoramic sunroof are unavailable with
many of its competitors for 2020 BW
added us
a standard safety features such as
automatic braking blind spot monitoring
and rear traffic alert the Tiguan has a
higher driving position of most in this
class and provides a competent ride with
great seats acceleration is also good
for this class due to its turbo engine
turn the driving position I feel like
I'm sitting quite quite high compared to
some of the other compact SUVs I've
reviewed recently I'm definitely sitting
a bit higher than those and that means
you get a bit more commanding view of
the road and around you and I think
that's a good thing and these seats I
showed you guys how gorgeous these seats
look very sporty very bolstered right I
can definitely feel it in this class and
this price range this one I'm testing
this SEL Arline I mean it kind of just
sits above the competitors from the
outside it has a very sporty and
aggressive a modern design it looks like
it doesn't belong in this class right it
looks like a luxury car and on the
inside a cabin I'm gonna say I get that
same feeling too it just feels like
overall this is this is not in the same
class this is competing with the luxury
cars and not so much of normal cars next
up is to 2020 Subaru Forester the
Forester is definitely a bargain within
the compact SUV class with a starting
price of twenty four thousand five
hundred you get symmetrical all-wheel
drive standard as well as Subarus ice
ice safety suite which includes
automatic braking adaptive cruise
control and Lane Assist inside the
Forester is massive providing plenty of
room in all rows especially the second
row the Forester sport adds a sporty
vibe to a rather bland sea of crossovers
with orange hacen trims on the outside
and inside the Forester Sport definitely
stands out the steering wheel looks and
feels great and a dual screen setup for
infotainment system works
well together besides all-wheel-drive
there are a few drive modes to help you
get out of any spot as for to drive
itself I was blown away with how
comfortable the Forester handle the
roads and the precision steering
combined with comfortable seats and a
quiet cabin it was a blast to drive to
Forester in terms of driving position
this is a really nice driving position
because it feels very Airy these seats
are in a good height so it's not very
hard to get in but it's not too low
either because this is a SUV combined
with the visibility this driving
position is really fantastic and
combined with this amazing suspension
I'm really digging this ride right now
I'm really digging I'm not just saying
that this is a really really nice ride
you know I've reviewed a lot of you know
compact SUVs I can't think of any that
looks as sporty as this one Subaru done
a fantastic job you know with the the
texturing obviously the the contrast of
the pop the overall style everything you
know how it's all put together this is
one of the sportiest cabins if not the
sportiest cabin in this class next up is
the 2020 Honda CRV Honda nailed the
current generation of CRV because it
pretty much does everything well the
Refresh in 2020 adds more aggressive
cues on the outside and the revised
interior center console makes things
even better on the inside you could tell
that Honda spent a ton of time just with
the armrest it provides maximum
functionality and this is one area
others just skip upon
there's plenty of room inside and the
CRV has the most cargo room in this
class hands-free tailgate engine auto
start-stop and wireless charging are now
available Honda sensing which is
standard ads on auto braking Lane Assist
adaptive cruise control and blind spot
monitoring the cabin of the CRV has a
futuristic look with the modern steering
wheel a large doodle cluster and a large
infotainment screen the knobs and
buttons are well placed and easy to
understand the CRV is very quiet and
provides a comfortable ride with great
visibility I don't know how to did it
there magicians or Wizards figured out
how to utilize every single inch of the
Interior and you get so much space I
honestly this rivals the space and a lot
of midsize SUVs and I'm not joking about
that the backseat the second row I
showed you guys enormous amount of space
I'm not a short guy I'm 5 feet 10 and I
have a good 68 inches of legroom left in
a compact SUV its same with headroom and
up here too very wide very spacious you
don't feel cramped at all plenty of
headroom shoulder room as you can see I
can do that no problem it is just very
spacious I don't know Honda did it the
seats are pretty comfortable
the bolstering is just the right size at
least for my back and they're holding me
in so I'm not really sliding around
next is the 2020 Toyota rav4 the current
generation was completely chained in
2019 the outside looks more masculine
and bold and much more inline with the
trucks from Toyota the TRD off-road and
adventure trims add more ruggedness with
the styling and with its more aggressive
tires there's a good amount of trunk
space and legroom in a second row but
even more so of headroom
the cabin is fresh with modern styling
just take a look at this large pop-up
screen in the middle it is easy to use
as so are
large knobs that control the climate
controls the steering wheel is modern
and has the right thickness and the
large screen in a gauge cluster is also
very nice rav4 is not only have dry
modes but also terrain modes which allow
you to tune your rav4 for any mood or
terrain rav4 comes with Toyota safety
sense which gives automatic braking Lane
Assist adaptive cruise control auto high
beam and even road sign reading as for
the ride a steering wheel feels great
and there's a good weight to the
steering overall the seats are very
comfortable and you sit high up within
the cabin in terms of looks I'm a big
fan everywhere inside outside is light
years better than before it's more truck
like it's more in line with the rest of
Toyotas truck lineup and on this TRD off
road I think it looks even better
because of the large TRD wheels they are
black right and they they add a lot of
contrast to whatever body color you may
have like this red I'm driving it looks
great with it and and the more
aggressive tires just makes the rav4
look a bit more masculine right so
overall I think this is a really good
look and I do enjoy it quite a bit these
are the 4 best compact SUVs for 2020
notable mentions are the 2020 Mazda cx-5
and a 2020 Nissan Rogue I wasn't able to
review a 2020 Mazda cx-5 before this
video however my 2019 review was very
favorable as the powerful engine precise
steering and luxurious cabin made it
stand out from the crowd
I will definitely review this in a near
future the 2020 Nissan Rogue which is on
the verge of being redesigned is also
worth looking at it provides a great
amount of space on the inside the trunks
divided and high storage system is
unlike anything else in this class and
there are features such as panoramic
sunroof and 360 view available which
combat SUV do you like the most
