Not all small crossovers are created equal. Witness &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cars.com/honda/cr-v/2012/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;the CR-V&lt;/a&gt;, whose cargo area has 11 percent more maximum volume than the Chevrolet Equinox, despite the Honda being nearly 10 inches shorter. Folding the CR-V&amp;#39;s seats couldn&amp;#39;t be easier: pull a lever near the tailgate, and the seats flip forward. A covered center console can store a small shopping bag, too.
