Big Test of Small Crossovers

Big Test of Cute Utes | Bentley Bentayga Review | Mercedes GLE Coupe | Camaro Convertible      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE PHOTOS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

The Big Test of 2015-2016 Subcompact Crossovers: Mighty Mites? Chevrolet vs. Honda vs. Jeep vs. Mazda vs. Nissan vs. Subaru There's a theory in the study of generations that after a set time the traits that define one generation repeat for a future generation. I'd argue that the auto market responds to the same generational shifts. Take a look at the average car that someone in the 1930s would drive, such as the Chevrolet Standard Six. Cars were two-box sedans that efficiently used all the space allotted by the car's wheelbase, and because of the poor quality of the pre-interstate highway American roads, these sedans rode high for better ride quality. Sound familiar? It should. Two-box designs to maximize interior volume and storage? Check. High ride to handle crumbling urban roadways? You got it. These subcompact crossovers are the auto industry's answer to those early requests, remade for the millennial generation. Which Cute Ute Won Our Hearts?
