Affordable 2025 Small SUVs with Turbocharged Engines: What the Evidence Confirms

Official U.S. information confirms turbo options for the Kona, Trailblazer, Trax, Seltos and CX-30, but does not verify ten priced choices. Compare configurations carefully.

Several 2025 small SUVs offer turbocharged engines, but the available U.S. manufacturer information does not verify ten models with both turbo availability and relevant pricing. The confirmed options below show why the turbo trim’s price matters: a model’s advertised starting MSRP may apply to a non-turbo version, not the configuration you want.

Which 2025 small SUVs have confirmed turbo engines?

This comparison uses U.S. model-year 2025 information. It includes four models with confirmed turbo-engine details and, separately, the Nissan Rogue, whose size makes it a borderline fit for a small-SUV list. The available official sources do not establish comparable turbo-trim prices for every model, so the starting MSRPs below should not be read as turbo prices.

Model Confirmed turbo details Published price information Other relevant detail
2025 Hyundai Kona Available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, 190 hp. Hyundai lists a $24,550 starting MSRP for the FWD SE; that is not established as the price of a turbo configuration. The base-price and turbo-engine details refer to different configurations. Hyundai USA
2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer Available 1.3-liter turbo; the source’s EPA-estimated 31 mpg combined applies to the turbo with FWD. Chevrolet lists a $23,100 starting MSRP; the cited page does not establish the price of the turbo-equipped configuration. Do not apply the FWD fuel-economy figure to other drivetrains. Chevrolet
2025 Chevrolet Trax 1.2-liter turbo three-cylinder, 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. A turbo-trim MSRP is not stated in the cited source. Chevrolet
2025 Kia Seltos Available 1.6-liter turbo GDI engine, 190 hp. A turbo-trim MSRP is not stated in the cited source. Kia also offers a 146-hp 2.0-liter MPI engine, so not every Seltos has the turbo. Kia America
2025 Mazda CX-30 Turbo output is 250 hp and 320 lb-ft on 93-octane premium fuel, or 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on 87-octane regular fuel. Mazda lists the model from $25,195, while its listed Carbon Turbo trim starts at $33,140. The base MSRP is not the turbo price. Output changes with fuel grade. Mazda and Mazda North American Operations, Aug. 12, 2024

How to compare affordability accurately

Start with the specific turbo trim, not the model’s lowest advertised price. The Kona, Trailblazer, and CX-30 examples show that a base MSRP can describe a non-turbo configuration or a substantially less expensive trim. For the Trax and Seltos, the cited official information confirms turbo specifications but does not state a turbo-trim price.

  • Check the manufacturer’s price for the exact engine and trim you are considering.
  • Compare drivetrain as configured; the Trailblazer’s 31 mpg combined estimate is specifically for the 1.3-liter turbo with FWD.
  • For the Mazda CX-30 turbo, account for the fuel grade used for the published output figure: premium yields higher stated horsepower and torque than regular.
  • Treat original MSRP as a model-year price reference, not a current transaction quote. Dealer pricing, destination charges, options, and availability can affect the amount paid.

Does the Nissan Rogue count as a small SUV?

The 2025 Nissan Rogue has a standard 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine across its grades. Nissan lists a suggested price of $28,590 for the S FWD, effective April 1, 2025. That price is for the named base grade, and the cited press-kit information does not provide a separate turbo premium because the engine is standard. Nissan 2025 press kit

PETICON SUV Cargo Liner for Dogs, Trunk Cover with Bumper Flap Protector
  • Large Size for Full-Size SUVs: This SUV cargo liner for dogs measures 53.15 inches x 78.74 inches, it fits large and full-size SUVs, but not compact crossovers, minivans, sedans, or small/mid-size/compact SUVs. Please measure the cargo area of your car before purchase.
  • Water Resistant and Easy to Clean: 4 waterproof layers quilted, durable 600D oxford fabric, the dog seat cover mat protects your car seat from scratches, pet dander, hair, spills, odors, mud, and water; Easy to clean just by wiping away dirt or vacuuming, wash by hand will be better
  • Ultimate Protection with Side and Bumper Flaps: Side flap measures 40 inches x 12.6 inches, protects the car side wall from dog's claw marks, just like a hammock protector; Bumper Flap effectively protects your car against scratches when your dog crawls into the trunk or lies on the edge of the trunk
  • Non-Slip Net and Overall Protection: Extra large textured 53.15 inches x 40 inches anti-slip rubber backing (twice as much as the average product) for more stability, no worries about quick turns and speed bumps; 2 Suction cups and 3 Strong Velcro on both sides for fixing the side panels on car to avoid sliding left and right, keeping a safe car environment. NOTES: Suction cups will be more sticky with hot water
  • Widely Use and Versatile Applications: Served as the car seat cover, pet seat cover mat and family outdoor picnic mat or as the luggage mat for your moving day, a good gift choice

Whether to include the Rogue depends on how “small SUV” is defined. It is often treated as a compact crossover rather than a subcompact, so it is listed here separately instead of being counted as an unambiguous small-SUV match.

Why this is not a verified list of ten

A 2025 subcompact-SUV comparison from Car and Driver includes the Buick Envista, Chevrolet Trax, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, and Volkswagen Taos. That establishes a candidate set, not proof that every model has a 2025 turbo option or an affordable turbo-trim price. Car and Driver’s subcompact SUV comparison

With the official details available here, it would be misleading to fill out a ten-model roundup by assuming engine availability or using a non-turbo base price as a stand-in. The confirmed information supports the models above, with the Rogue explicitly qualified by size; it does not support ten equally verified, priced choices.
