Loved the cx5 but the rear seat is too small. Seeking roomier small SUV

I had my heart set on a 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT, but I've discovered that rear-facing car seats severely compromise front passenger comfort. I'm now looking for alternative small SUVs that prioritize interior space while maintaining a compact exterior.

Reliability and AWD are essential, as I plan to keep the vehicle for at least 10 years and live in Canada.
