Small, sporty and inexpensive are three words to describe the 2020 Mazda MZDAY, +0.87% CX-3. We like the way this little SUV looks, both inside and out, and the build quality is excellent. Couple that with good fuel economy and sports car handling, and it’s easy to see how the CX-3 ends up on your shortlist.
7. 2020 Honda HR-V — $20,920
The 2020 Honda HMC, +0.85% HR-V is a practical, reliable SUV choice that just happens to be priced well to boot. We really like the clever rear “Magic Seat” that gives the HR-V superior cargo space, plus it offers excellent fuel economy and loads of standard features.

With sharp handling and bold style, the 2020 Toyota C-HR is a funky little crossover at a reasonable price point. We really appreciate all of the standard features and the C-HR’s high-quality cabin — and of course, there’s nothing like Toyota TM, +0.46% reliability.
