There are several “hot” trends in cars for 2015, one of them being the small sports utility vehicles that are expected to hit the market in 2015. For those looking to purchase an SUV for an affordable price, these “mini” SUVs will fit the bill. According to a recent article at CBS news, some of these little vehicles can be had for as little as $19,000 or $20,000.

Back to the mini SUVs you can buy for a song. In a category right below the compact SUVs you’re familiar with including the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, expect to find the Kia Soul and Nissan Juke facing tough competition with the Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade. Not only will consumers enjoy lower prices, but increased gas mileage as well, with the Jeep Renegade expected to get about 30 MPG according to officials at Chrysler. The Trax is expected to get around 34 MPG on the highway, according to GM.

Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book, expects that the trend in small SUVs will continue in coming years. If you’re interested in taking a look at the Renegade, it should be in showrooms in early 2015. Sounds like a great vehicle to explore Hawaii in!
