These 20 hot-headed haulers give sports cars a run for their money.

Hot sport-utes are more popular now than ever, tracing their lineage back to our favorite examples from the ‘90s: the Lamborghini LM002, GMC Typhoon, Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, and Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited. But unlike those slightly crude progenitors, today’s fast SUV must also be able to handle corners like a sports car, cruise over bumps like a limo, and offer plenty of space for packages and people.

The 20 high-riding haulers on this list represent the fastest and sportiest SUVs on the market today. Some feature hybridization, others are all-electric, some have six cylinders, and some twelve. There’s a variety of sizes and styles, although they all have one thing in common – they’re each pretty spendy (though some are Brooks Brothers and some are Burberry). Each entry on this list offers its own spicy take on the fast SUV formula, with different priorities for virtually every power-obsessed utility buyer.

Consumers with a keen interest in fuel economy have always looked to small and compact vehicles to get their fix, whether that be a car or an SUV. Today, automakers go a step further, fitting hybrid systems to compact SUVs so that a small gasoline engine is augmented by an electric motor (or motors) for even fewer trips to the pump.

As the industry moves inexorably to full electrification, the best small crossover SUVs offer the power and mpg boost of electric motors, including the segment’s top SUV models like the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V, and the Ford Escape. Here at MotorTrend, we’ve driven them all, so we can separate the great from the good SUVs, so read on to see which models are the top compact hybrid SUVs to buy in 2020.

It’s the kind of bargaining we do every day: Should I buy the store brand or pay a few dollars more for the name brand? Most of the time, it’s the same thing, but sometimes it’s worth it when you just like the name brand better. We do the same thing when we’re car shopping: buy the car that fits our spreadsheet of criteria, or the one that speaks to us? Sometimes, though, you get both in the same package, like when you’re cross-shopping the 2020 Kia Soul and 2020 Nissan Kicks.
