Is there a petrol manual SUV that has an engine larger than 1.0 litre without a turbo?
Is there a new or recent compact, reliable, petrol, manual SUV that is uncomplicated, has an engine larger than 1.0 litre without cylinder deactivation or a turbo?

Non-turbocharged engines with manual gearboxes are rare these days. The only option that springs to mind would be the Mazda CX-30, but it'd need to be the 2.0-litre SkyActiv X version, as the 2.5-litre does indeed have cylinder deactivation.
