Reviews SummaryThe Toyota C-HR was originally intended to be sold as a Scion. Although the Toyota sub-brand went belly up ahead of the C-HR’s debut, the subcompact crossover was instilled with some Scion DNA and holds its own as a funky and affordable alternative to the usually straight-laced Toyota lineup. | |
Reviews SummaryThat there are no major changes beyond a couple of new trim levels for the 2025 Hyundai Kona is neither a surprise nor a bad thing. Not a surprise because this second-generation model only made its debut one year ago, making it too soon to expect any major updates. And not a bad thing because, frankly, this second-generation Kona was already a great subcompact SUV. Time does not stand still, however, particularly when it comes to crossovers, so it’s time to find out how the Kona performs one year on, and whether it continues to deliver value in an increasingly busy part of the market. | |
