Kia Sportage
There are many sports utility vehicles that claim to be compact, but if one can honestly call itself compact, it is surely the Kia Sportage and its cousin, the Hyundai Tucson. No battered trails or morning traffic jams will make this one stop. It is about to be replaced by an all-new more attractive and accomplished model that should get fitted with one of two new more fuel-efficient engines.
