subcompact

The Subaru Crosstrek is a resale value superstar, and could return $6,000 more to your pocket when you sell compared to subcompact SUVs at the bottom of the resale value charts.

The interior in the HR-V is similarly chic and upscale for a subcompact crossover.

Drop the rear seats in the Impreza and you’ll have 56 cubic feet of storage space to work with, which is about what a typical subcompact SUV offers.

Likewise, Toyota and Honda later halted U.S. sales of their subcompacts.

Honda, which makes the Fit subcompact, Honda e electric car and Gold Wing motorcycle, said its profitability improved, especially in North America, where production recovered.
