2020 SUBCOMPACT SUV OF THE YEAR: Hyundai Kona
Finalists: Honda HR-V - Subaru Crosstrek
"The Hyundai Kona, in the eyes of many a Canadian motorist, simply has everything, from a varied trim lineup to great fuel economy to a highly appealing shape... personally I find this small SUV as interesting a product as ever. Ultimately consumers will decide if they like it or not, but a quick look at the year-to-date sales figures for Canada shows that many of these consumers are deciding they like it just fine."

"It’s in its 1.6L version that the Kona really starts to shine. The 175 horses accompanied by generous torque frankly transform the driving experience. The handling, the overall balance, dynamics, everything is enhanced by one notch if not two. The Sport mode really gives a boost and there’s clearly a much better synchronicity between road and driver."
- Benoit Charette, Auto123.com
"There are a ton of these on the road, and for good reason: funky yet rough n' tumble looks, turbo power, surprising interior room and storage and clever AWD will do that."
- Dan Heyman, Auto123.com
