What is the best off-road mini SUV?

I am looking to buy a small SUV that can handle occasional off-road driving, but I’m at a loss for which make or model to go with—what is the best off-road mini SUV?

Great question! When it comes to small off-road-ready SUVs, it should come as no surprise that the best is made by Jeep—coming in at only 166.6 inches long, 74.2 inches wide, and featuring only 100.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, the
Jeep Renegade Trailhawk
is the best off-road mini SUV on the market.
Sporting 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk can traverse just about any off-road terrain you throw at it—though its 1.3L four-cylinder direct injection turbo engine (capable of producing 177 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque) isn’t the most impressive.
In any case, the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk is a fantastic choice for those looking to do some mild off-roading in a relatively small SUV.
