The 2020 Toyota C-HR’s updated styling is less polarizing, and it now includes both Apple and Android smartphone support.
Pros Bold looks Lots of safety tech Soft ride Decent value
Cons Still some weird angles Dungeon-like rear seat Light on power So-so mpg
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.
The EQB is an all-new model for the Mercedes-Benz lineup and should be on sale in North America sometime this summer.
Pros Practical interior, brisk acceleration with upgraded powertrain, nicely-trimmed interior.
Cons Third row isn't very roomy, battery takes up some cargo space, fussy infotainment system.
In an increasingly crowded field of electric crossovers, the boxy 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB offers something refreshingly against-the-grain.
Pros Just-right shape bridges boxy and aero Quiet, comfortable ride Available third-row seat Sliding second-row seat No sci-fi EV gimmickry
Cons Premium price Lower range than most rivals Third row is tiny Infotainment screens’ learning curve Top active safety costs extra
