To the context

In 2007 there were numerous SUV types on the market; but most of them were significantly larger and heavier than the Mitsubishi Concept-cX. Some examples:

the VW Tiguan (since 2007): over 4.40 m long
the Toyota RAV4 (2006-2013) was 4.44 m long
the Nissan Qashqai (2006-2013) was 4.32 to 4.54 m long

Later some significantly shorter and lighter SUVs appeared, for example

2009 the Skoda Yeti (4.22 m)
2010 the Mitsubishi ASX (4.30 m)
In 2012 the Opel Mokka (4.28 m) and in 2013 the almost identical Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax
2013 the Peugeot 2008 I (4.16 m)

These vehicles have stylistic elements of off-road vehicles, but are only partially suitable for off-road use. They are called soft roaders or 'compact SUVs'.
