We summarize the biggest news for the sub-compact crossover market this year.

Automakers are hoping that subcompact crossovers will grow to be as large of a segment as the compact crossover segment has. That has not happened yet, but each brand is rapidly developing their smaller than RAV4, CR-V and CX-5 vehicles. 2015 was a big year for the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3, both of which entered production in that year. This year we will start our news with Toyota’s new competitor, the C-HR.

Toyota C-HR Debut

The new Toyota C-HR will be shown in Detroit next month. We do know that it looks like a Nissan Juke and will mimic the role the HR-V plays for Honda. The real question is will it be sporty, like th eMazda CX-3 or an economy vehicle like the Honda? “2018 Toyota C-HR Ready To Take On Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V”
