Colourful Little SUVs with Plenty of Style

Published on June 4, 2018 in Galleries by The Car Guide

Sub-compact SUVs and crossovers are quickly taking over the automotive industry and becoming extremely popular among drivers. A big part of their success can be attributed to their flashier and more distinctive designs. In 2018, it’s easy to find one that perfectly matches your own style and personality. Here’s proof!

Aesthetically, the 2018 Toyota C-HR is one of the most striking vehicles not only in the segment, but also in the entire industry. Yeah, we know, Toyota? This kind of makes up for the lack of an AWD option.

The 2018 BMW X2 is the latest to join BMW’s lineup of SUVs and crossovers. It targets young, sporty and fashion-conscious drivers. This metallic gold-yellow paint is particularly eye-catching.

With distinctive lines and unique, well-thought-out details (like the taillights evoking the head of a Phillips screwdriver), the 2018 Jeep Renegade catches the attention, whether dressed in red, orange, green, blue or even grey.

The 2018 Jeep Compass is taking a different path than most—literally—and its looks are quite becoming, especially in Trailhawk guise.

Refreshed a year ago, the 2018 Chevrolet Trax looks and feels quite modern both inside and out. Here it is in Tempest Blue, but a Red Hot model is just as, well, hot.

For many, the 2018 Fiat 500X is the most handsome 500 model in the lineup. The proportions are perfect and the yellow body adds a great dose of flash.

Ford’s smallest SUV, the all-new 2018 EcoSport, will appeal to those who want to do more with less. A bright blue paint is available, but what do you think of this copper-like hue?

The 2018 Honda HR-V represents a nice compromise between the Fit and the CR-V. Spacious and fun to drive, it also looks sharp.

One of the most talked-about sub-compact SUVs on the market right now is unquestionably the new 2018 Hyundai Kona, which marks a huge departure from the rest of the lineup and offers eye-catching two-tone options.

The 2018 INFINITI QX30 boasts extremely smooth and attractive lines along with a wide and athletic stance. Designers clearly nailed this one.

A bit larger than other SUVs in this gallery, the 2018 Jaguar E-PACE looks very similar to the award-winning F-PACE. With super-stylish wheels and a bright red paint option, it is sexy as hell.

The Kia Soul obviously stands apart due to its boxy shape. The zero-emission Soul EV shown above is available with contrasting wheels and roof.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA is without a doubt one of the most attractive models to wear the Silver Star. It’s a wonderful cross between the CLA coupe and GLC compact SUV.

By far one of the coolest small SUVs out there is the 2018 MINI Countryman, especially the John Cooper Works model displayed here with several customization options. Don’t you love that British green treatment?

Already quite popular among Canadian buyers, the new Nissan Qashqai knows the importance of a great design (more so than the Rogue, in our opinion). It definitely turns heads, particularly in Nitro Lime, Ruby Red or Monarch Orange.

Starting in June, the new 2018 Nissan Kicks replaces the weird-looking JUKE in Nissan showrooms. It will likely sell more units thanks to attractive styling and two-tone options.

The second-generation 2018 Subaru Crosstrek marks a beautiful evolution from the original. The proportions are just right and the wheels continue to draw attention. This SUV rarely goes unnoticed, especially in orange.

The all-new 2019 Volvo XC40 has quickly surpassed company expectations, so much so that Volvo is now forced to ramp up production. The front end is just as sophisticated as the larger XC60 and XC90, while the roof and rear section make it a truly unique offering.
