Auto Basel: you will learn everything about 4×4

Thus, at this year's Auto Basel from September 13 to 16 at Messe Basel, vehicles of this type will also be the focus of interest.

The unabated demand for compact variants in particular suggests this. But for how much longer? In any case, the manufacturers' product plans are peppered with new compact models. As a result, the number of compact SUV registrations will rise significantly by 2020, while noticeably fewer customers will turn to classic compacts - at least that's what market observers expect.
