“We’re still waiting on a truly fantastic little SUV”

barely a week goes by, it seems, without one of our reviewers reporting back from the latest introduce of a little SUV. 
I’ve been to three myself over the past month, choosing apart the respective merits of the Citroen C3 Aircross, SEAT Arona as well as Hyundai Kona – as well as just recently we put the very first two of those up against the Kia Stonic on UK roads.

I’ll leave you in suspense on the verdict, however suffice it to state that even the champion doesn’t handle to bag a full haul of five stars – our ultimate seal of approval.
That’s since the little SUV is a curious breed of vehicle whose charm is still a secret to many of us. You get a somewhat elevated driving position, of course, although it’s nowhere near the commanding view that you’d enjoy from a full-size SUV.
There are cool picture as well as personalisation choices on many of the new models, as well – however then, these are on many superminis already anyway.
And in the vast majority of situations it’s not as if you’re truly gaining a great deal in practicality. the very best you can hope for is a extremely somewhat larger boot as well as a teeny bit more headroom than the car’s supermini cousin. Which will, of course, be cheaper, since manufacturers understand we’re willing to pay more for the picture of an SUV, no matter exactly how little it is. 
And yet we’re told, by vehicle maker after vehicle maker, that purchasers can’t get sufficient of little SUVs, as well as that more are coming to showrooms near you over the next couple of years.

We can however hope that they’re a bit more daring as well as inventive than what we’ve seen so far. We’re happy, of course, to suggest the very best that’s available right now – however we can’t assist feeling that somebody has yet to do a truly appropriate task as well as define the little SUV as a genre.
