With so much emphasis on threerow SUVs these days, it’s easy to forget that their smaller siblings will easily satisfy the needs of most Canadians.

Unless you need space to shuttle more than four people with any frequency — in which case you should be shopping for a minivan — a small SUV will handle just about anything thrown its way with very few sacrifices.
