Check the article out to discover which they are.

Competition in the small crossover segment is going fiercely with the typical Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke, Chevrolet Trax, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Mazda CX-3.

Evaluating a car with outstanding features is not easy to find an answer that satisfies every customer. With the driving experience in a harsh car test, the Philcarnews.com lists a number of compact crossovers that are highly rated.

Let’s take a look at the car models for those who are interested:

1. Nissan Juke

First launched in 2011, Nissan Juke immediately arose a "fever" by outstanding design, which is totally different from the rest. The car features a 1.6L turbocharged engine, a maximum capacity of 188 hp, a maximum torque of 238Nm, optional four-wheel drive and CVT gearbox. However, in terms of handling, the car performance is not as smooth as other competitors.

This engine is really highly rated with fuel consumption of 7.49 liters / 100Km. Operating in regular mode is also very gentle and stable.

The Nissan Juke urges users to drive, as it was ranked only behind Mazda CX-3 in this test in terms of driving sense. One of the weaknesses of this car is the discomfort to occupants in the front and rear seats.

2. Chevrolet Trax

Ranking above the Nissan Juke is the Chevrolet Trax. This is an American product that is notable for its handling ability in operation.

Overall rating, the Chevrolet Trax owns a high body, narrow width, low ground-clearance, but it has good interior space. In the comparison, the car is said to have the best rear seat row.

The weakest of the Chevrolet Trax is poor and old-fashion interior. However, driver-assisted technologies such as Wifi is well equipped, like many other American automobile brands.

3. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

In the compact crossover segment, Mitsubishi has never been highly ranked but the appearance of Outlander Sport is a surprise. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is considered one of the best models, in competition with other contenders.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the second best storage space, rear-seat comfort and 3rd low-cost place in the aggregate test. However, in terms of fuel efficiency, this car ranks third from the bottom up. Moreover, it is only average ranked in terms of engine, transmission, handling and comfort.

With square angle design, the head of the car gives a dynamic look but interior materials are old, entertainment technology is poor, so people who choose Mitsubishi Outlander Sport would totally be disappointed.

4. Mazda CX-3

The Mazda CX-3 was introduced earlier this year, yet it’s no longer a top choice in comparison to the formidable rivals. Fast and responsive are the advantages that make the Mazda CX-3 top performers in the segment. However, like the Nissan Juke, the Mazda CX-3 sometimes brings unpleasant feelings to the driver.

The Mazda CX-3 features a 2.0L I4 engine block with a maximum capacity of 146 horsepower and 198Nm of torque. This is the weakness of the car compared to the Nissan Juke. However, with lightweight, the Mazda CX-3 can take advantage of the engine power, surpassing many competitors in terms of speed.

In addition, the Mazda CX-3's smooth running engine and powertrain are among the best.

Overall, the Mazda CX-3 is one of the finest interior design cars. With young and modern design, the Mazda CX-3 is an attractive “street fighter”. At a glance, this car is extremely luxurious, but with careful consideration, people can spot two disadvantages: narrow rear seat space and limited luggage space.

5. Honda HR-V

The HR-V is the latest addition to the family-size compact and similar in size to the CR-V. Earlier this year, the Honda HR-V won against Mazda CX-3 in a “double” competition for practicality, efficiency and value.

The Honda HR-V has the smallest price in the compact crossover competitors, at only $ 26,720 but still offers lots of benefits such as navigation system, leather seats, smart key and two-zone climate control. However, the HR-V is not equipped with advanced features such as power seats, panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wiper.

Although being convenient for the driver, the Honda HR-V is probably not the best for the driving experience as it comes with the 1.8L engine block and maximum power of 141 horsepower, modestly. Obviously, power is not the strong point of this car. In terms of fuel efficiency, Honda HR-V outperformed Nisan Juke and Mazda CX-3 for the best position.

Possessing price advantages, spacious space and handling ability, the Honda HR-V is the best choice in this comparison.
