Small crossovers like the Toyota Corolla Cross try to elevate their game in other ways save for size.
The Honda HR-V has a more rugged look this year, while the Hyundai Kona gets a newly refreshed body and an electric edition.
For sporty bona fides, the Mazda CX-30 has the niche mostly to itself, with good handling and turbo power.
The VW Taos goes for unrestrained restraint, while the Kia Seltos spins its turbo and saddles up all-wheel drive for driving flair.
