The 2018 Subaru Forester continues to offer top safety scores, remarkable space inside, and all-round versatility; it’s still one of the best small SUVs, and a good value for money.

Pros
Fun to drive, good ride
Excellent safety ratings and systems
Good outward visibility
Standard all-wheel drive
Peppy Turbo option, CVT among the best

Cons
Front seats small for some
Priciest trims still not that premium
No manual gearbox for turbo engine
Paddle shifters only on turbo

For 2018, the Subaru Forester offers a new Black Edition trim package that adds black-finished wheels, body trim and grille. The interior also receives black cloth upholstery and black gloss dashboard trim. Limited trim levels also get a new cargo area cover, while Touring trims now include Subaru's EyeSight safety package as standard along with automatic high beams and reverse automatic braking.

PROS
All-wheel drive comes standard and doesn't sink fuel economy
High ground clearance offers better than average off-road ability
Airy interior with plenty of room for adults both front and rear
Optional turbocharged engine makes Forester very quick

CONS
Modest tow rating limits overall utility
Cabin design and materials are just average
Handling isn't as sporty as some rivals
CVT feels less responsive and refined than a traditional automatic

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque gets a new lease on life this year with a good powertrain upgrade that helps it stay competitive. Of course, its looks help too.

Pros
Stunning exterior shape
Better powertrain this year
Power bump on top trims
One of the few SUV convertibles on the road

Cons
for good reason
Not all that practical
Aged structure
Cramped rear seat

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque ranked #6 in Luxury Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has a score of 7.7 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 48 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Excellent off-roader
Powerful engines
Agile handling
High-quality cabin

Cons
High price
Below-average fuel economy
Jerky transmission

By:

For 2018, the Evoque's biggest updates happen under the hood. The new base engine is slightly less powerful than last year's model, but the Evoque now offers a higher-output, 286-horsepower version as an option on some trim levels. The two-door coupe has been discontinued, though the convertible remains.

PROS
Striking exterior and interior design
Available convertible variant is the only one of its kind
Fun to drive

CONS
Premium pricing compared to subcompact competitors
Not a lot of backseat space
Limited visibility, especially for the convertible
