Those in need of a compact crossover SUV, but who don’t necessarily want to go for a mainstream car, typically spring for a model belonging to the compact luxury crossover SUV segment. Most of the ones on the market today are closely – if not directly – related to other, more mass-market crossovers. Think of models like the Lexus RX 350, which stands as the more opulent version of the Toyota Highlander. There’s also the Chevrolet Equinox’s slightly more highbrow equivalent, the GMC Terrain.
