In China, this RAV4 generation doesn't even wear the RAV4 name — GAC Toyota sells it as the Toyota Wildlander instead, with its own front-end styling.
The SK Forester's hybrid battery doesn't hide under the floor like most hybrids' — Subaru mounted it above the rear axle specifically to improve the car's front/rear weight balance.
Mazda promised a US diesel CX-5 for 2017 — it didn't actually arrive until 2019, and only for a single model year on the top Signature trim.
Holden badged this Trax the Trax TJ while Chevrolet sold the same Korean-built crossover as the Tracker in South America.
Honda moved the CR-V's spare tire from the tailgate to underneath the car for this generation, ending a decade of side-hinged doors.
The fifth-gen CR-V's 2020 refresh made Honda's full driver-assist safety suite standard on every trim - even the cheapest CR-V got adaptive cruise control and automatic crash prevention.
This CR-V borrowed its engine and CVT combo straight from Honda's flagship Accord sedan — premium-sedan drivetrain tech trickling down to a compact crossover.
This HR-V started life as a concept literally called Urban SUV, and Honda sold it as the Vezel everywhere that mattered at home.
The LM was drawn in Germany, at Hyundai's Rüsselsheim studio, by Cha Il-Hoei working under former BMW designer Thomas Bürkle.
This generation killed off the ix35 badge everywhere, reverting Hyundai's whole global lineup back to the Tucson name.
Its roof had to hold three times the car's weight against a federal rule of just 1.5 times, and it still earned Top Safety Pick.
Kia said the QL's mix of sharp edges and smooth surfaces was inspired by modern fighter jets.
Fans of the original complained that this Hyundai-based Sportage was much bigger and had none of the old one's off-road ability.
IIHS only crash-tests the driver's corner; tested on the passenger side instead, the CX-5 showed far worse intrusion.
Subaru built the Crosstrek by lifting an Impreza hatchback 8.7 inches off the ground and calling it done.
The second Crosstrek switched to the Subaru Global Platform, the same architecture underpinning the Ascent and Impreza.
Crashed on the passenger side instead of the driver's, the 2014 Forester showed far more intrusion and would have rated Marginal with the IIHS.
Subaru built a 2.5XT for the National Ski Patrol with a diamond-plate floor, a 9,500-pound winch and a toboggan on the roof.
The fourth-gen RAV4 broke two long traditions at once: it swapped the side-hinged rear door and spare-tire mount for a plain liftgate, and dropped the V6 option entirely, going four-cylinder only.
This RAV4 generation quietly offered a third row for two extra passengers — a rarity in compact crossovers, and only in North America and Japan.
