The Ford EcoSport at 161 inches is barely larger than the Ford Fiesta its platform is based on testers have found real-world mileage doesn’t match the 28 mpg EPA combined rating, and back-seat passengers say the middle seat in coach class wins hands-down for roominess. The quirky styling appeals to many (not all) buyers, and there’s no all-wheel-drive option. The best-selling Kia Soul offers two engines, has decent space, and is one of the better handlers in the category. A loaded Kona Ultimate with the turbo engine, double-clutch transmission, all-wheel-drive, and telematics is $29,680 and is a challenger to the Mazda CX-3 for best-performing subcompact crossover.
A stripper Kona SE is $20,400 with shipping. The Kona is new this spring and a strong competitor with optional all-wheel-drive, a larger engine, and sunroof.
The closet competitors are likely to be the new Hyundai Kona, the Kia Soul, and the Ford EcoSport. There are more than a dozen subcompact crossovers on sales. By our estimate, the Rogue accounts for four-fifths of Rogue/Rogue Sport sales. Nissan combines sales reporting of Rogue and Rogue Sport combined they sold more than 400,000 units in 2017 and through five months of 2018 have sold 178,000 units, making it the biggest seller among subcompact or compact SUVs, on pace to sell 425,000 units - potentially the best seller outside of the full-side Ford, Chevrolet and Ram pickups. It starts at $25,775 and is considerably different.
RIDE 4 KICKZ PRO

Prices run from $23,000 with freight (front-drive Rogue Sport S) to $31,900 (Rogue Sport SL, all-wheel-drive, premium paint, premium package). The Nissan Rogue Sport is three inches longer at 172 inches, but it also has more options, including all-wheel drive, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a sunroof. A final $1,000 upcharge brings the Bose Personal Plus audio system that’s excellent given the price, Perma-Tex seats (leather-look) with front-seat heaters, and a security system. Another $600 beyond SV gets you LED low beam headlamps, fog lamps, surround view cameras (Intelligent Around View Monitor, or I-AVM), a leather steering wheel and shifter, roof spoiler, and Integrated Dynamics-control Module comprising intelligent engine braking (adjusting the CVT ratio to assist the friction brakes), intelligent trace control (individual-road-wheel braking to maintain a smooth cornering line), and active ride control (a small amount of braking applied when going over a bump to damp body motion).
