The 2020 Mazda CX-3 is stylish but impractical for a crossover SUV.
Pros Perky styling Lots of safety gear Good mpg Decent ride and handling
Cons Cramped rear seat Limited cargo room Frustrating infotainment Grand Touring is pricey
Mazda bestowed a bounty of updates during the previous model year, which include visual refreshments and additional driver assists, but the company doesn't make any significant changes to the 2020 CX-3 lineup.
Pros Drives better than its rivals, drinks less fuel than its rivals, looks better than its rivals.
Cons Back seat and cargo area are too small, coarse engine noises, can't hide harsh bumps.
The Volkswagen ID 4 is a decent electric car with a practical interior, an excellent safety score and a good range (especially with the 77kWh battery). However, the best rivals are faster, smarter inside, have much better infotainment systems and take less time to charge. The Pro Performance Style is our pick of the range, and we'd avoid the pricey Max and GTX versions.
Pros Lots of space in the back and a big boot Excellent Euro NCAP safety score Well equipped
Cons Poor infotainment and dashboard usability Not fast by class standards Heavier depreciation than many rivals
Pros Modern-looking interior Spacious in the back Comfortable to drive
Cons Boot has annoyingly high lip Top versions quite expensive Some tech seems glitchy
