When it comes to the compact SUV segment there’s a wide variety of choices. Maybe too many. Looking for something upscale but find the premium brands too spendy? Then the Volkswagen Taos might be for you. A foot shorter than big brother Tiguan, the cabin has nearly the same amount of space plus it has a polished driving dynamic. But understand it’s among the most expensive in class. Tom Voelk checks out a loaded SEL model with 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

Mercedes-Benz has a lot of SUVs to choose from, the GLB is one of the smallest.

But it is a Mercedes and buyers will be paying for that large three-pointed star on the grill. Tom Voelk checks out a modestly optioned GLB 250 4MATIC with the AMG Line trim package.
