Luxury Compact SUVs are steadily gaining popularity worldwide. Combining luxury and comfort with the ability to handle different types of road conditions, these SUVs provide the best of both worlds for car owners.
While there are a good number of Luxury Compact SUVs to consider, the following are some of the best in this category. If you're thinking of getting one, any of these should be a good option.
Genesis GV70
Genesis GV70 stands out from the pack for drivers who are looking for a quality Luxury Compact SUV that's relatively affordable.
Dimensions:
- Length - 185.6 in
- Width - 75.2 in
- Height - 64.2 in
- Wheelbase - 113.2 in
It's currently offered at $47,650 as its base price with 24 mpg fuel efficiency, it's practically a no-brainer if you want a more affordable alternative. It also doesn't skimp on options - you could go for the 2.5T - Turbocharged Inline-4 engine or go full electric with their dual-motor AWD with an efficiency rating of 91MPG combined on a full charge.
Adding to its claim to fame is the fact that it is currently the best Luxury Compact SUV in 2025 according to Kelley Blue Book. Beautifully designed, powerful enough for a small SUV and aggressive pricing makes this a smart purchase.
BMW X3
BMW's foray into Luxury Compact SUVs has been relatively successful thanks to the X3 and the 2025 iteration has made it even better.
Dimensions:
- Length - 187.2 in
- Width - 75.6 in
- Height - 65.4 in
- Wheelbase -112.8 in
Its interior was upgraded with increased space for driver and passengers and tech has been upgraded as well with its dual-screen touch screen dashboard.
Aside from nifty changes to its interior, the 2025 BMW X3 also features enhancements to its engine. With the use of "mild-hybrid technology" in many of its models, the X3 is now stronger while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency—rated at 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined.
2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class - Now with Hybrid Option
For those who love hybrids, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is a great choice.

- Length - 185.7-188.7 in
- Width - 74.4-76.3 in
- Height - 63.1-64.6 in
- Wheelbase - 113.7 in
Running with a 2.0L 4-Cylinder engine should be good enough for a relatively fast ride with 26-29 mpg fuel efficiency. But going for the hybrid version will push the efficiency to 64 mpg.
The design and comfort offered by 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is on par with the best in the industry and it's also relatively better priced with $50,400 as its base price.
2025 Volvo XC60
The 2025 Volvo XC60 is another Luxury Compact SUV worth checking out. It has a base price of only $48,345.
What makes this particular SUV unique compared to others on this list is buyers are given two engine options: the mild-hybrid or the plug-in hybrid version that comes with 247HP and 455HP respectively.
Also worth mentioning is the "Scandinavian Styling" that focuses on practicality with well thought out design. This makes the XC60 a perfect choice on the road when you want your SUV to stand out without spending too much.
