When you want a compact SUV that you can feel confident taking on your next adventure, look no further than a Jeep Wrangler. Most 2017-2019 Jeep Wrangler trims feature a standard four-wheel-drive system that can handle difficult terrain with ease. You can shift into low-range four-wheel drive when you're on the trail or switch to neutral when you're towing. The Rubicon trims come equipped with a Rock-Trac 4x4 System, which offers even more capability and control when navigating challenging terrain. When equipped with other off-roading capabilities, there are no limits to where you can go in a Jeep Wrangler.
Most of the 2017-2019 Jeep Wrangler trims come available in two- or four-door body styles. Other standard features on these Wranglers include fog lamps, cloth upholstery, a removable rear bench seat, and soft- or hard-top roof options. When you want to enjoy an open-air drive, simply remove the Wrangler's doors and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport offers the compact handling of a small SUV with a sporty exterior that's sure to turn heads as you drive down the highway. Choose the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport if you want a cost-effective yet reliable compact SUV. While front-wheel drive comes standard on this vehicle, four-wheel drive is available on several Outlander Sport trims, allowing the vehicle to achieve maximum traction in adverse weather. You'll enjoy impressive fuel economy even when you're using the vehicle's four-wheel-drive system.
There's room for five passengers in the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Standard features on most trims include cloth upholstery and automatic climate control. Some trims have comfort and convenience features available, including heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The vehicle comes standard with a sizable 7-inch touch screen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are available on some trims. When you choose an upper-level trim, you'll get a suite of standard safety features, including lane departure warning and automatic high-beam headlights.
2019 Jeep Compass
For an SUV you can drive across town in any type of weather, choose a Jeep Compass. Specifically, the 2019 Jeep Compass offers widely available four-wheel-drive systems on several trims, including the Sport, Latitude, and Limited. The optional system has a rear axle disconnect, which allows the vehicle to transition seamlessly between two- and four-wheel drives to improve efficiency. The 2019 Jeep Compass also has select driving modes for all-weather capabilities, including Auto, Snow, Sport, and Sand/Mud.
This five-seat SUV features enhanced technology, including a standard 7-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system.

2020 Jeep Renegade
Another compact SUV in the Jeep lineup, the 2020 Jeep Renegade blends rugged style with effortless performance thanks to its four-wheel-drive system. With four available drive modes — Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud — and hill-descent control, you can drive confidently on any road.

With elegant styling and classic performance, a Ford Escape is a worthy choice for your next compact SUV. The 2019 Ford Escape comes with optional four-wheel drive on certain trims, including the SEL and Titanium models. Ford's four-wheel-drive system monitors available data to improve traction, handling, acceleration, and steering. It sends more torque to the rear wheels when it detects inclement weather or challenging road conditions and sends power back to the front wheels in normal conditions to help improve fuel efficiency.
The 2019 Ford Escape can seat five people with ample legroom and cargo space. When you choose a 2019 Escape with four-wheel drive, it comes standard with various interior features, including automatic temperature control, cloth seating, and an AM/FM stereo system.
