Honda HR-V: A Fuel-Efficient Hybrid
Blurring the lines between the B-SUV and C-SUV segments with its generous dimensions, the Honda HR-V positions itself closer to the premium market with its extensive features and pricing. However, what sets it apart is its fuel efficiency—thanks to the E:HEV system, which combines an electric motor with a 1.5-liter engine to deliver one of the lowest consumption rates in the segment. Additionally, its innovative “Magic Seats” in the rear allow for effortless transport of taller items.

Hyundai Bayon: A Local Favorite
Now even more appealing after a facelift, the Hyundai Bayon carries a strong domestic identity as it is produced at Hyundai’s factory in Adapazarı. This makes it a top choice for buyers who meet certain criteria. While the 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine is paired with a manual transmission, all 1.0-liter turbo engines come with a DCT automatic transmission.

Hyundai Kona: Stepping Up to the Next Segment
Originally a well-balanced B-SUV in terms of size and pricing, the Hyundai Kona has moved closer to the C-SUV segment in its second generation, especially with the introduction of the Bayon. Available in both turbo gasoline and electric variants, the Kona’s pricing now rivals the Tucson. However, Hyundai’s extensive SUV lineup ensures that consumers have plenty of options to find the perfect fit.

Opel Frontera: A Classic Name Returns as a B-SUV
Originally a rugged 3- and 5-door mid-size off-road SUV from the 1990s, the Opel Frontera is making a comeback—this time as a B-SUV. Nearly two decades later, the revived Frontera is a simple, user-friendly, and budget-friendly SUV. Now part of the Stellantis Group, it hits the roads with electric and hybrid powertrains, offering an affordable entry point into the SUV market.

Opel Mokka: A Symbol of German Design

Also available as a fully electric version, the Mokka is a stylish urban SUV for those who appreciate design and want to make a statement.

Peugeot 2008: The Segment’s Favorite Lion
One of the best-selling B-SUVs, the Peugeot 2008 is a symbol of the brand’s design evolution. Available with both gasoline and electric E-2008 options, it distinguishes itself from the competition with a uniquely designed interior and a strong presence in the segment.

Renault Captur: A Fresh Look for Stronger Competition
A popular contender in the B-SUV segment, the Renault Captur received a facelift in late 2024, further solidifying its position in the market.

Renault Duster: A C-SUV in Disguise
Originally launched under the Dacia brand, the Duster now carries the Renault badge and is produced in Turkey, including an LPG variant. Despite its C-SUV dimensions, its competitive pricing places it among B-SUVs. While the hybrid versions come with an automatic transmission, the LPG Eco-G version is only available with a manual gearbox.

Seat Arona: Spanish Flair with a Modern Edge
Built on the Volkswagen Group’s proven platform, the Seat Arona has gained even more appeal following its recent facelift. With its attractive pricing in the B-SUV segment, it continues to expand its customer base. The Arona comes standard with a DSG automatic transmission across all engine options, which include 1.0-liter and 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engines.

Skoda Kamiq: The Perfectly Balanced B-SUV
If all B-SUVs were combined into a single, well-rounded model, the result might look a lot like the Skoda Kamiq. A mix of bold innovation and classic practicality, the Kamiq is among the most popular choices in the segment. It also features signature Skoda touches like a built-in card holder, an umbrella, and an ice scraper. Engine options mirror those of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, with a 1.0-liter (115 HP) and a 1.5-liter (150 HP), both paired with a DSG transmission as standard.

Suzuki Jimny: The Minimalist Off-Roader
The Suzuki Jimny is unlike anything else in the B-SUV category. Its compact size, 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and three-door design may limit interior space—barely accommodating four passengers with minimal trunk capacity—but its charm is undeniable. Demand far exceeds supply, making it one of Suzuki’s most sought-after models despite its premium price tag. In many ways, it’s Suzuki’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. And, of course, it’s 4×4—no reminder needed!

Suzuki Vitara: The Original Everyday SUV
The Suzuki Vitara is an SUV icon, having introduced many drivers to the segment. Now classified as a B-SUV, it offers both 4×2 and 4×4 options, all equipped with a mild-hybrid gasoline engine and an automatic transmission. One of the Vitara’s biggest advantages is its unmatched versatility, making it a standout in the B-SUV class.

SWM G01: Italian Roots, Made in China
Originally an Italian brand, SWM now manufactures its vehicles in China under the Shineray Group. In Turkey, the brand is represented by the Russian Atmo Group. The G01 and its sportier variant, the G01F, bring generous features at an affordable price, powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine.

SWM G03F: A 7-Seater in the B-SUV Segment
For those seeking a seven-seater in the B-SUV category, SWM currently stands alone in the market. While the G03F comes exclusively with a manual transmission—an initial drawback for some—it compensates with its highly competitive pricing, making it an appealing option for larger families.

Toyota Yaris Cross: Hybrid Efficiency at Its Best
As a pioneer of hybrid technology, Toyota brings one of the most fuel-efficient B-SUVs to the market with the facelifted Yaris Cross. Consuming just 4.7 liters per 100 km in city driving, it eliminates range anxiety common in electric vehicles. Its hybrid system not only assists the gasoline engine but also recharges its battery through regenerative braking.

Volkswagen T-Cross: A Safe Bet
As the B-SUV sibling of the Volkswagen Polo, the T-Cross has gained significant popularity. With its bold, angular design and solid brand reputation, it offers practicality and reliability. The combination of a 1.0-liter TSI engine producing 115 horsepower and a DSG automatic transmission ensures a smooth and efficient driving experience.

Volkswagen Taigo: A B-SUV with Coupe Styling
Volkswagen may have entered the B-SUV segment later than some, but it offers two distinct models, including the dynamic Taigo. Available with 1.0- and 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engines paired with a DSG transmission, the Taigo is a stylish choice. While a 95-horsepower 1.0-liter version with a manual transmission exists, demand for it remains minimal. The R-Line trim further enhances the model’s sporty appeal.
