With so much Giulia DNA, the Stelvio was bound to be good. At last an Alfa to buy with your heart *and* head
Pros One of the more lithe SUVs to drive is comfy and refined too
Cons Not without compromise, and does it look good enough for an Alfa?
The hybrid version of Toyota’s distinctive compact SUV is a blend of practical perks and frustrating quirks that could make it untenable for some, but perfect for others.
Pros Low fuel consumption A smooth, quiet ride Comprehensive safety features Quick and responsive at lower speeds
Cons A few tech oversights (no HUD, DAB, electric seats or wireless charger) A claustrophobic back seat Smaller, sloped boot Limited rear visibility Feels underpowered at higher speeds
Toyota's smallest SUV receives a light styling refresh for 2020 in the form of an updated front bumper, grille, and headlamps, as well as new wheel designs. The base LE trim now comes standard with Android Auto capability, LED headlamps, and SiriusXM satellite radio; mid-range XLE models now come with front seatback pockets and sun-visor extensions. An eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat and adaptive headlamp system are now part of the Limited model's standard equipment list. The C-HR can be had in two new exterior colors: Supersonic Red and Hot Lava; a contrasting silver-colored roof is also now an option.
Pros Look-at-me styling, cheeky interior design, plenty of standard features.
Cons Infuriatingly slow, cramped back seat, rivals offer more cargo space.
