For those of us who cannot let go of a hatchback body style, and at the same time do not want to miss out on the opportunity to own an affordable modern crossover, exists a special sub class that combines the best of two worlds.
Subscompact CUVs simply cannot decide what their true nature is, so we get everything in one package: nimble handling of a hatch, lower price of a smaller city commuter, and raised clearance for comfortable driving on any roads. In this episode we will show you the newest models that are expected to hit the market in 2020, so get ready to expand your shopping lists!
