Midsize SUV
Hi I’m just wondering, so since the website only has the option for people to book Q4 (4WD midsize), if you’re given a B5/B4 is that technically a downgrade? I mean most things in B4/B5 are like Ford Ecosport kind of little SUVs, how can you categorize them the same way as Escape etc?

B5/B4 would be compacts if they're not a bookable class on their own, so yes it would be a downgrade.
Can you even get the Ecosport with 4WD? And is 4WD part of the Q class description? I have seen an Ecosport in the 5* section at SFO (and it was being taken) so I'm not sure what car class it would be in — other than "avoid like the plague."
That said, I'd be more worried about a "prestigious" Buick Encore as it does have AWD and might end up in the higher class. Similarly, while a Rogue is a compact SUV, even an Equinox is a midsize.

FWIW, National classifies it as a "compact full-size".
