Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021 Forward collision warning system can now detect pedestrians at night.

Pros
Attractive and comfortable interior
Engaging driving experience
Impressive fuel economy
Good selection of driver aids and active safety features

Cons
Below-average cargo space

Suspension tuning could be too firm for some

The 2021 Mazda CX-3 is an agile crossover with quick acceleration and good fuel economy, but it lacks rear passenger space and has a limited cargo hold. This vehicle does not have an overall score or ranking because it has not been evaluated for predicted reliability.

Pros
Athletic handling
Punchy acceleration
Upscale interior
Long list of standard safety features

Cons
Snug rear seat
Engine struggles at highway speeds
Small cargo space

By:

Mazda has made no changes to its smallest SUV for 2021, as the CX-3 enters the new model year exactly as it was in 2020. Mazda has announced that 2021 will be the final model year for the CX-3.

Pros
Spunky driving dynamics,
fuel-efficient powertrain,
cheeky exterior styling.

Cons
Tight rear seat and cargo space,
unrefined four-cylinder engine,
flinty ride.

The 2020 Volvo XC40 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.Leather upholstery replaced by a cloth and faux-leather combo on base trim.More standard features for the R-Design and Inscription trims.

PROS
Pleasing interior with premium materials
Clever small-item storage and cargo solutions
Plenty of standard and available safety features

CONS
Steep learning curve for touchscreen interface
Cargo area is small for the class

By:

As with other 2020 Volvo models, all XC40s come standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Cloth seats replace the previously standard leather on the base Momentum model, though it remains available as an option; leather remains standard on the R-Design and Inscription models. The Momentum now features power child locks for the rear doors, an automatically dimming rearview mirror, and heated windshield wiper blades. A panoramic roof is standard on the R-Design. The ability to power fold the rear seats has evaporated from the XC40 lineup.

Pros
Fun and funky styling, refined interior, technologically advanced features.

Cons
Coarse engine sound, unexceptional fuel economy, slow-to-respond infotainment system.

By:
