The SsangYong Tivoli is a stylish car with a low price and generous standard equipment, which may tempt some buyers from more established competition.
Pros Excellent warranty Spacious inside Good value
Cons Poor ride comfort Varying interior quality Petrol engine is quite noisy
The Ssangyong Tivoli is decent for the money, but massively outclassed in many areas – including space, efficiency and comfort – by pricier small SUVs, such as the Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Roc and Skoda Kamiq. But the Dacia Duster also outclasses it in several ways, while being more efficient to run and cheaper to buy outright.
Pros Competitively priced Reasonably spacious Well equipped higher-spec trims
Cons Entry-level trim is sparse Relatively high running costs So-so handling and fidgety ride
The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is the meat-and-potatoes crossover for many buyers; the RAV4 Prime supplies the all-electric range.
Pros Performance plug-in hybrid Great exterior looks Wide customization possibilities Standard active safety features Good all-wheel-drive systems
Cons Interior is compromised Prime priced prime near $40,000 Buzzy base inline-4 Small-ish rear seat
Toyota has made only one change to the RAV4 for the 2021 model year: Blizzard Pearl replaces Super White on the color palette. A plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime joins the lineup, and the hybrid model gets a new XLE Premium trim; we review the two hybrid models separately.
Pros Truckish good looks, car-like road manners, driver-assistance features are standard.
Cons Spartan entry-level model, engine moans and groans, top trims can be pricey.
No significant changes for 2021.
Pros Quiet interior and comfortable ride quality Abundant cargo and passenger space Easy-to-use controls
Cons Lackluster power from powertrain Uncomfortable front passenger seat Vague steering
