Top Picks for Pre-Owned Compact SUVs

Posted by Shabana Motors - 16 April, 2021

 

Compact SUVs have become increasingly popular in recent years. And rightfully so. They are spacious, have higher seats that allow you to see the road more clearly, and come in various sizes, shapes, and trim levels. Of course, their big attraction is their "utility" or capabilities, which allows them to go beyond any sedan.

SHAB-1004 -Top compact used sport utility cars_webAt Shabana Motors, we've picked the top pre-owned compact Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) for you that are only around 1 to 4 years old. Here are our top picks.

1. 2017 Ford Escape

The 2017 Ford Escape is an excellent choice for a pre-owned compact SUV. Much like other SUVs, this vehicle is quite spacious and has plenty of cargo space. It is easy to handle because of its easy-to-manage, smooth steering wheel. Its 168-horsepower four-cylinder base engine provides good acceleration and enough torque to haul small cargo. 

This SUV is available with top-level trims as well as an all-wheel-drive version with a 245-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Furthermore, this engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds when appropriately equipped with a towing package. When it comes to towing capacity, this vehicle can handle much more than most of its competitors. 

The 2017 Ford Escape can also include a voice-controlled SYNC infotainment system and a six-speaker audio system with a USB port. Also, a nice feature in this car is the MyKey system, which allows you to set speed and radio volume limits. 

2. 2018 Mazda CX-5 

The 2018 Mazda CX is another excellent choice if you are looking for a used compact sport utility vehicle. It is a two-row SUV that hosts five comfortable and supportive seats. The driver sits in a comfortable position, as the seats are wide and the steering wheel is adjustable as per their convenience. Overall, the Mazda CX-5's look is quite luxurious, and even its standard features, like cloth seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, are at the top of its class. 

The Mazda CX-5 is available with a touch-screen infotainment system that remains visible even in direct sunlight. Plus, it has top-notch safety scores, beating most competitors in its class. There are synthetic leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seat options available as well. This Compact SUV also features a latch connector for child car seats available all across the back row. 

3. 2019 Honda CR-V

Ranking near the top of the compact SUV category, the 2019 Honda CR-V is known for its comfortable drive. Its cavern-like cabin is quite roomy and practical. Although this car is not famous for its tech features, it gives a wonderful fuel economy.

Another worth-mentioning feature is the spacious cargo hold that makes it extremely suitable for long family trips. The only change its 2019 model had compared to the previous editions was that a new exterior paint color, “White Pearl,” was introduced.

The Honda CR-V is a perfect vehicle for a middle-class family of 5 due to the level of comfort it offers and its affordable price. This car is surely value for money! It has everything that a typical crossover needs to have.

4. 2017-20 Highlight: Nissan Rogue

Surely, one of the best crossover vehicles of all is the Nissan Rogue; it also happens to be our best-selling used Compact SUV. Any of the used models sport an attractive exterior styling, a rich and ample interior as well as all-around outstanding performance and economy. The Nissan Rogue SUV delivers 27/35 mileage, has a spacious, 36.5 cubic feet cargo hold, and a 181hp engine.

Nissan Rogue models provide space, comfort, and efficiency on the tank - much needed features to drive around Houston.  

To Sum it up

Sport utility vehicles are very convenient family vehicles. The models mentioned above are some of the bests we've seen out there. Everyone wants something different in a vehicle; as such, all of these provide you with various features and driving experiences. 

 

As a used car dealership with over 40 years in business, we have plenty of experience and are confident about our used-car vehicle ratings, especially in popular compact sport utility vehicles. If you have always been fond of smaller cars but want the "great outdoor" experience, upgrading to a compact SUV can be the right thing to do. But, don't forget, these compact sport utility vehicles are also great for those wanting to downsize from their larger vehicles without giving up the "spacious" feeling they are used to.
