2. 2019 Subaru Forester
Subaru is a long-trusted name in safety, security, and mom-love. Subaru sedans, wagons, and small SUVS (like the Forester) consistently rank as some of the safest cars on the road.

- Standard AWD for driving in any condition
The Forester is always a great pick, and with a starting price just over $24,000, you won’t have to take out as big of an auto loan from a local credit union as you otherwise might. However, the Forester just can’t compete with #1 on our list.
1. 2019 Fiat 500X Trekking
A big new take on an Italian Classic, the 500X Trekking is the ultimate small SUV. With ample space, AWD, and affordable price, it’s simply the best in class. Standard safety features include:
