FAST FACTS
"This is a tricky category sometimes, and the Envista lays that bare. It’s the same length as its much more expensive Envision stablemate, which we classify as a compact SUV. What gives? In this case, price takes precedence — the Envista happens to compete on price with SUVs that are generally a bit shorter. Also, since the Envista's fastback rear roofline cuts into cargo space, it has less room back there than most of its subcompact rivals, let alone the compact crew. However you want to classify it, the Envista offers exceptional style and strong feature content for this price point, but its front-drive-only powertrain and ponderous acceleration join its humble cargo capacity as limiting factors. If you generally like the Envista's formula, check out the Chevy Trax, which is the same vehicle underneath but boasts better pricing and far more cargo space."—Ranked #9 out of 18 Subcompact SUVs
