(March 4, 2016) "The country is having a love affair with small SUVs right now, and Kelley Blue Book visitors are especially infatuated," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com.

"Balancing an SUV's elevated driving position, superior cargo versatility and available all-wheel drive with the efficiency and affordability of a mainstream sedan, today's small SUVs offer multifaceted appeal. It's no wonder that it is one of the fastest-growing segments in the auto industry."

The vehicles on the list all have a Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price that starts below $25,000 as of February 2016. Updated weekly and based on current market conditions like vehicle availability, local demand and seasonal buying trends, the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price shows shoppers what others have been paying for a new car recently and is included in KBB.com's Price Advisor tool, which provides range-based market pricing.
