SUV and crossover popularity has exploded in the past decade, as more and more people trade in their sedans for something more versatile. And as crossovers become increasingly car-like in drivability, the trend toward utility is likely to continue. There are currently four nameplates in Mazda's SUV lineup, and each one offers an outstanding blend of style, comfort, driving dynamics, and amenities. But which one is the best fit for you?

The CX-3 comes in just one nicely equipped trim level that includes desirable features like advanced safety features, adaptive cruise control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
