Compact SUV for the Wife

[snail]

Hello,

I'm planning to get the wife a compact SUV sometime in the middle of next year. So far, my choices are the following:

Honda HR-V / Vezel
Mazda CX-3
Subaru XV
Nissan X-Trail 2.0

IF all 4 models were already locally available and priced within 50k of each other, it would be a toss-up between the Honda and the Mazda since my mom already owns an XV (we live in the same house so I would prefer a little variety in the garage) and I feel like the X-Trail's overpriced and too stripped-down for what you get (No foglights?!).

However, given we don't know if and when these models will be released, can anyone recommend something else besides the 4 I mentioned? It can be a released or an upcoming model (but confirmed) for next year.

Please no Ecosport, I can't stand the front end (no offense intended to owners out there)

No truck-based SUVs like the Montero, Fortuner, etc. either

Budget's 1m-1.3m though I can stretch it to 1.5m if we reaaally like the model.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks sir, but I'm already aware of that.

As per my query, I'm actually soliciting suggestions for alternatives in case these 2 models don't arrive by mid to late next year

How about include the following in your list of options? They all fall within the 1.5M price tag

Subaru Forester 2.0L
Mazda CX-5
Ford Escape 1.6L Ecoboost
Honda CRV
Toyota RAV4
Kia Sportage gas or diesel
Hyundai Tucson gas or diesel

That's actually not a bad suggestion, but isn't it getting a little too old? I think it was first released around 2010 pa ata.. Would that discourage you from buying one?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there supposed to be an all-new Sportage and Tucson coming out in 2016?

^^^ At the moment, Kia or Hyundai has no local news yet of any model changes for the Sportage and Tucson.

Honda has just released a redesigned CRV (MMC - minor model changes) while the Ford Escape Ecoboost will be available locally by January 2015.
