Small SUVs (2025): All models on the market
The best ideas come from everyday life. This was also the case recently in our company. Colleague Jörg drives an older Skoda Octavia. So far a good choice. But for him alone, a smaller format would be enough, he said. For example, a relatively small SUV like a Seat Arona. Not a bad idea, because even with it you can be on the road with four people.
So we pored over lists and looked at the current offer on the German market. Which SUV models are available up to about 4.20 meters in length as of the end of January 2025? Quite a few, but not infinitely many. For example, the new Opel Frontera is cheap, but an impressive 4.39 meters long. And the new electric Skoda Elroq even measures 4.49 meters.
Our overview starts with A for Alfa Romeo and ends with V for Volkswagen and Volvo. The prices given are rather approximate for comparison purposes. They change frequently, and there are often special models or special offers from dealers.
Alfa Romeo Junior

Alfa Romeo Junior
After quarrels over the actually planned name "Milano", the currently smallest (and newest) Alfa Romeo now operates as "Junior". This fits in with its clear format. Like some of its siblings from the Stellantis Group, the Junior is also available as a pure electric car.
Alfa Romeo Junior | |
Length | 4.17 meters |
Width | 1.78 meters |
Height | 1.53 meters |
Trunk volume | 400 - 1,280 litres |
Drives | Mild hybrid (136 hp), electric (115 or 207 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 48 kg/0 - 1,100 kg |
Prices | from 29,500 euros |
Audi Q2

Audi Q2
The Q2 will not have a direct successor. Audi announced this some time ago. True to the group's new model designations, at most a purely electric Q2 e-tron would be conceivable. Be that as it may, the still current Q2 was launched in 2016, and a facelift took place in 2020. As one of the few small SUVs, it is also available with diesel and all-wheel drive.
Audi Q2 | |
Length | 4.22 meters |
Width | 1.80 meters |
Height | 1.55 meters |
Trunk volume | 355 - 1,050 litres |
Drives | Petrol (116 - 300 hp), Diesel (116 - 150 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 75 kg / 1,300 - 1,800 kg |
Prices | from 28,600 euros |
Citroën C3/e-C3

Citroen C3/e-C3
Whether as a gasoline or electric car: The new Citroën C3, launched in 2024, scores with a low price. In addition, it offers a relatively large amount of space at almost exactly four meters. The gasoline engines are available with or without a 48V mild hybrid. In 2025, a basic electric version with a range of 200 kilometres is also to be added to the range for just under 20,000 euros.
Citroën C3/e-C3 | |
Length | 4.02 meters |
Width | 1.76 - 1.81 meters |
Height | 1.58 meters |
Trunk volume | 310 - 948 litres |
Drives | Petrol (100/101 hp), Electric (113 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 61 kg/550 - 600 kg |
Prices | from 14.990 Euro |
Dacia Spring

Dacia Spring
Can you already say SUV for this? Well, at least the smallest vehicle in our overview relies on a rustic look. In 2024, an extensive model update took place, which did the Dacia Spring good, especially visually. Technically, the performance and range (around 230 km) of the electric car remain manageable. However, the Chinese-built vehicle scores points in terms of price.
Dacia Spring | |
Length | 3.70 meters |
Width | 1.58 meters |
Height | 1.52 meters |
Trunk volume | 288 - 1,004 litres |
Drives | Electric (44 - 65 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 60 kg/- |
Prices | from 16,900 euros |
Dacia Sandero Stepway

Dacia Sandero Stepway
The Stepway version of the popular Dacia Sandero is also more of a hybrid of small car and SUV. Compared to the normal Sandero, the Stepway has around four centimetres more ground clearance. A facelift took place in 2023. A technical feature is the Eco-G 100, a gasoline engine that can also be operated with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Dacia Sandero Stepway | |
Length | 4.10 meters |
Width | 1.85 meters |
Height | 1.54 - 1.59 meters |
Trunk volume | 328 - 1,108 litres |
Drives | Petrol (91 - 110 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 75 kg/1,100 kg |
Prices | from 14,800 euros |
DS 3

DS 3
Hardly anyone buys the DS 3, which was released in 2019 and revised in 2022. Yet it is quite chic. But unfortunately quite expensive. Whether as a combustion engine or electric car. After all, there is still a diesel on offer here as well.
DS 3 | |
Length | 4.12 meters |
Width | 1.79 meters |
Height | 1.53 meters |
Trunk volume | 350 - 1,050 litres |
Drives | Petrol (130 - 136 hp), Electric (156 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 48 kg/0 - 1,200 kg |
Prices | from 32,300 euros |
Fiat 600

Fiat 600
The successor to the Fiat 500X has been on the market since 2023. Like many of its Stellantis Group relatives, the 600 of the 21st century relies on mild hybrid gasoline engines or pure electric drive. Incidentally, Fiat plans to launch the four-meter-long Grande Panda in the course of 2025.
Fiat 600 | |
Length | 4.18 meters |
Width | 1.78 meters |
Height | 1.53 meters |
Trunk volume | 360 - 1,256 litres |
Drives | Petrol (100 - 136 hp), Electric (156 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 48 kg/0 - 1,100 kg |
Prices | from 24.990 Euro |
Ford Puma

Ford Puma
One of Ford's last successful models is the Puma. It was launched in 2019, and a facelift took place in 2024. Brand new is the purely electric, but visually similar Puma Gen-E with a range of a good 500 kilometers. A special feature of the Puma is a removable tub in the trunk with a drain plug to clean the dog, for example.
Ford Puma | |
Length | 4.19 - 4.23 meters |
Width | 1.81 meters |
Height | 1.56 meters |
Trunk volume | 456 - 1,283 liters (plus 43 liters of frunk in the Gen-E) |
Drives | Petrol (125 - 160 hp), Electric (168 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 75 kg/750 - 1,100 kg |
Prices | from 28,900 euros |
Hyundai Inster Cross

Hyundai Inster Cross
With the additional name "Cross", the new Hyundai Inster is dressed up mightily. The front and rear bumpers have been redesigned, and the 17-inch alloy wheels with a special design and embossed black trim also set their own accents. The standard roof rails also contribute to the adventurous look. We have to wait and see whether the roof rack in the pictures is also part of the standard equipment.
The small electric car is scheduled to launch at the end of 2025, and the "normal" Inster is already rolling into dealerships. Reach? Up to 370 kilometers.
Hyundai Inster Cross | |
Length | 3.85 meters |
Width | 1.61 meters |
Height | 1.61 meters |
Trunk volume | 351 - 1,059 litres |
Drives | Electric (97 - 115 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | N.b.. |
Prices | not yet known |
Hyundai Bayon

Hyundai Bayon
The Hyundai Bayon ("pronounced Bähjenn") is not selling badly. But it is nowhere near the numbers of its larger SUV siblings. Maybe it's because the offshoot of the i20 only has a very small niche between the i20, i30 and Kona. In addition, there is an idiosyncratic look even after the 2024 facelift. If you like it: Insider tip!
Hyundai Bayon | |
Length | 4.18 meters |
Width | 1.78 meters |
Height | 1.50 meters |
Trunk volume | 411 - 1,205 litres |
Drives | Petrol engine (100 hp) |
Drawbar load/towing capacity | 75 kg/910 kg |
Prices | from 22,900 euros |
Jeep Avenger

Jeep Avenger
The family of small corporate SUVs from Stellantis is large. It also includes the Jeep Avenger, Car of the Year 2023. As usual, the Italo-American is available with either a gasoline or electric drive. The 4xe hybrid provides a kind of all-wheel drive with a small electric motor per axle.
Jeep Avenger | |
Length | 4.08 meters |
Width | 1.78 meters |
Höhe | 1,54 Meter |
Trunk volume | 325 - 1,275 litres |

Drawbar load/towing capacity | 50 kg/0 - 1,200 kg |
Prices | from 25,600 euros |
Kia Stonic

Kia Stonic
Oldie, but Goldie: This applies to some of the models in this list. For example, the Kia Stonic, which has been on the market since 2017 and underwent a facelift in 2020. Whether he will get a direct successor or an EV2 will inherit him is still open. Therefore: Grab it now!
Kia Stonic | |
Length | 4.14 meters |
Width | 1.76 meters |
Height | 1.52 meters |
Trunk volume | 352 - 1,155 litres |
Drives | Petrol (79 - 100 hp) |

Lexus LBX

Lexus LBX
Not in the mood for a mundane Toyota Yaris Cross? Here you go: Here is its noble brother from Lexus, the LBX. It was launched at the beginning of 2024 and offers electric all-wheel drive as the E-Four.
Lexus LBX | |
Länge | 4,19 Meter |

Preise | ab 30.650 Euro |
Mitsubishi ASX

Mitsubishi ASX
Kenner sehen es schnell: Im Prinzip handelt es sich bei dem aktuellen Mitsubishi ASX um den Renault Captur. Dieser Umstand sorgte für das Kuriosum, dass der ASX nur ein Jahr nach dem Marktstart schon ein umfangreiches Facelift bekam. Ein Pluspunkt des ASX: Fünf Jahre oder 100.000 Kilometer Garantie.
Mitsubishi ASX | |
Länge | 4,24 Meter |
Breite | 1,80 Meter |
Höhe | 1,58 Meter |
Kofferraumvolumen | 348 - 1.596 Liter |

Nissan Juke

Nissan Juke
Entweder man liebt ihn oder man hasst ihn. Die Optik des Nissan Juke polarisiert, auch in der 2019 gestarteten und 2024 leicht überarbeiteten zweiten Modellgeneration. Den Verkaufszahlen schadet das nicht.
Nissan Juke | |
Length | 4.21 meters |
Width | 1.80 meters |

Opel Mokka

Opel Mokka
It is a bestseller from Opel in its second generation: the Mokka. At the end of 2024, it was given a barely visible model facelift. Like its small SUV colleagues from the Stellantis Group, there is also a pure electric version here. With it you can travel a good 400 kilometers.

Renault 4 E-Tech Electric

Renault 4 E-Tech
Anders als der Stellantis-Konzern trennt Renault seine Verbrenner- und Elektromodelle sichtbar voneinander. Bei den Stromern setzt die Marke seit Neuestem auf eine Retro-Optik. So auch beim Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, der im Laufe des Jahres 2025 auf den Markt kommt. Die Technik teilt er sich mit dem Elektro-5, die Reichweiten betragen 300 respektive 400 Kilometer.

Renault Captur

Renault Captur
We have already seen his brother from Mitsubishi, now it is the turn of the Renault Captur itself. The second generation was launched at the beginning of 2020, followed by a facelift in 2024. With a length of 4.24 meters, the Captur scratches the upper limit of our overview.

Trunk volume | 326 - 1,363 litres |

Seat Arona

Seat Arona
Another mature small SUV: The Seat Arona was launched at the end of 2017 as the brother of the Ibiza. In 2021, there was the first model update. A second one will follow for both models in 2025, which increases the chance of cheap discontinued models.
Seat Arona | |
Length | 4.15 meters |
Width | 1.78 meters |
Height | 1.54 meters |
Trunk volume | 400 - 1,280 litres |
Drives | Petrol engine (95 - 150 hp) |

Skoda Epiq

Skoda Epiq
Skoda's smallest all-electric SUV will probably not go into series production until the 2026 model year, i.e. not until the summer of 2025. The 4.10-metre-long Epiq with 490 litres of luggage space has already been shown as a near-production study. The target is a range of a good 400 kilometers and a starting price of about 25,000 euros.
Skoda Kamiq

Skoda Kamiq
Among Skoda's conventional SUVs, the Kamiq, introduced in 2019 and slightly revised in 2024, marks the lowest level. However, as with most small SUVs, there is no longer a diesel here.
Skoda Kamiq | |
Length | 4.24 meters |
Width | 1.79 meters |
Height | 1.56 meters |
Trunk volume | 400 - 1,395 litres |

SsangYong Tivoli

SsangYong Tivoli
The SsangYong Tivoli has now been on the market for a full ten years, and in 2019 it was facelifted. In terms of value for money, it is an insider tip: 163 hp from 25,000 euros, for 2,000 euros more even with all-wheel drive.

Length | 4.23 meters |
Breite | 1,81 Meter |

Stützlast/Anhängelast | 60 kg/1.000 kg |

Suzuki Vitara

Suzuki Vitara
We would have appreciated him greater. But the Suzuki Vitara is actually "only" 4.19 meters long. On the market since 2015, the fourth generation received a major facelift in mid-2024. As is typical for the brand, the Vitara is also available with all-wheel drive, here it is called "Allgrip".

Toyota Yaris Cross

Toyota Yaris Cross
Like its brother Lexus LBX, the Toyota Yaris Cross, which has been sold since 2021, also relies on full hybrid drives. In mid-2024, a visually rather inconspicuous model update took place. Under the abbreviation "AWD-i" there is an electric all-wheel drive.
Toyota Yaris Cross | |
Length | 4.18 meters |
Width | 1.77 meters |
Height | 1.60 meters |

Drawbar load/towing capacity | n.b./750 kg |

VW T-Cross

VW T-Cross
It is without a doubt the number 1 among small SUVs in terms of sales figures. VW was able to register almost 29,000 new T-Crosses in Germany alone last year. The T-Cross has been around since 2018, and in 2023 it underwent a facelift. By the way, its sleeker and 4.27-meter-long brother is called Taigo.

Volvo EX30

Volvo EX30
We would also have predicted this car to be bigger: The electric Volvo EX30 is 4.23 meters long. Or short, as you like. With two motors ("Twin Motor"), the EX30 has all-wheel drive and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. But then it also costs over 51,000 euros.In general, the ranges within the series range range between 340 and 480 kilometers.

Width | 1.84 meters |
