These models are small in dimensions, especially in a big country. To me, they're an ideal size for zipping around town and still OK for longer commutes. They are 173-4 inches or 4.4 metres in length so not that small.
The list goes up to 165,000 units sold so not huge numbers for a market the size of the US. This quartet are all US brands to keep the graph uncluttered and easier to view.
The Ford Bronco Sport (top pic) is a newish model and is the leader here. It looks very similar to the Bronco model but is somewhat shorter in length. It's made in Mexico.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer (pic 2nd from top) was developed by GM Korea and is made there. It follows a similar path to the Bronco Sport but is not quite as successful in terms of numbers sold.
The Jeep Compass (lower pic) has had highs and lows in its recent sales journey and came in third for 2023. Like the Ford, it's made in Mexico for the US market.
The Jeep Patriot ended its sales run in 2017, the similar sized Compass effectively took over from it. I assume having two models so close to each other was deemed unnecessary.
All the models featured here are US brands. Ironically they are all imported but manufacturing costs presumably had a major role in things panning out that way.
