We’ve learned that Hyundai’s engineers are working on a high-performance N version of the Hyundai Kona subcompact crossover SUV. And while people might cringe at the idea of putting effort into making a crossover sporty, we’re not opposed to the idea. It worked pretty well in the case of the Nissan Juke Nismo RS, and now that it’s gone, really the only sporty little crossover left is the Mini Countryman S and John Cooper Works. And if we’re stuck in a crossover world, why not have ones that are really fun?

And with all this in mind, we were pondering what other little crossovers would be good for receiving the performance treatment. So we’ve come up with a list of hypothetical sporty cute utes in no particular order, along with how feasible/likely they are. Most of them are pretty unlikely, but we can dream, can’t we?

Ford EcoSport ST


First on our list is a tiny crossover that, we must confess, isn’t our favorite. But a big reason for that is a lack of power, and slightly disconcerting high-speed handling, despite the very good steering and response. Those chief complaints could be fixed with an extra dose of power and some revamped suspension, plus a requisite ST badge. We suspect it might not be too difficult to add the power, either, since the current EcoSport is based on the outgoing Fiesta, which already has a U.S. approved ST version with a nearly 200-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder. The result could be a Fiesta ST with more cargo space and a more popular body style, potentially without too much development cost. Ford has even shown a willingness to create ST crossovers with the soon-to-be-released Edge ST. Sounds like the kind of product a less car-friendly Ford could be really interested in.

Mazdaspeed CX-3


This is perhaps the most unlikely hypothetical performance crossover on our list, simply because performance iterations of current cars just aren’t a priority for Mazda right now. However, we can’t help but imagine how spectacular this already great-handling and gorgeous-looking little crossover with some help from vitamin horsepower, especially that lovely 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder from the CX-9 and Mazda6. The only reason we bring that up is because we know that it does technically fit in the little CX-3, though it would require some modifications to frame rails to make it production-ready. But like we said, with how long it took for Mazda to put the turbo engine in the Mazda6, a car that didn’t need much modification to accept the engine, this is seriously a long shot. We should probably just focus on pushing Mazda to finally do a turbo Mazda3 (yes, I’m talking to you, Mazda engineers and product planners).

Jeep Renegade Trackhawk


The first cars you probably think of when bringing up turbo engines, all-wheel drive and manual transmissions are the Subaru WRX and WRX STI. And that’s perfectly apt, but they aren’t the only ones. Jeep has a car that fits the very same description: the Renegade. Amazingly, the company offers manual and all-wheel-drive together on the little crossover, and they’re coupled to a version of the same turbo 1.4-liter four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth and the 124 Spider. In its stock form, it’s no WRX fighter, what with having nearly 100 fewer horses under the hood, but we imagine that the folks at the SRT division of FCA could find a way to extract many more ponies from the tiny four-cylinder. Add a bigger intercooler, bigger turbo, bigger injectors, and some expert tuning, we could see an awesome little Trackhawk. A Trackchick, maybe? Maybe not. But the idea sounds great, especially if it was still connected to the all-wheel-drive system.

Toyota C-HR TRD


We’ll cap off this list with a something a little more funky. The Toyota C-HR has polarized us in the office in regard to its styling, but that also makes it distinctive and memorable in the crowded compact crossover class. But under the controversial skin is a surprisingly adept chassis that returns fairly flat cornering and enjoyable steering. Like most of these little crossovers, all it needs is a bit more power. Toyota doesn’t really have any fun turbo engines in this segment, but the 168-horsepower four cylinder and six-speed manual from the Corolla hatchback could be a good start. Maybe with a little tweaking, Toyota could crank it up to around 180 horsepower. It should be a pretty easy fit, too, since the new Corolla hatchback is on the same TNGA platform as the C-HR. Coupled with the many standard features of the regular C-HR, a sportier version could have a good value argument in addition to being fairly fun.

Despite rumors that it was headed for the chopping block as early as this year, the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact will live to see another model year, at least. The changes are minor but include a powertrain consolidation.

Citing a newly available order guide, GM Authority reports that Chevrolet will drop the 1.8-liter inline-four cylinder engine, which made 138 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque, and its associated five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions. It’ll instead use the turbocharged 1.4-liter inline-four, which was previously offered as an option on the mid-level LT model and standard on the Premier trim, as the lone engine offering across all three trim variants. It delivers the same horsepower as the 1.8L but pushes torque up to 148 pound-feet.

Both the sedan and hatchback versions will retain the six-speed manual transmission option on all trim levels.

Elsewhere, the Sonic gets a new color called Shock while dropping Ivy Metallic and Arctic Blue Metallic, a 7-inch touchscreen goes standard, and it gets a new RPO code for its keyless entry system. But Chevy is dropping the remote vehicle starter system as standard on the LT sedan, instead offering it as part of a convenience package. Also gone is the Fun and Sun Package, which included a power sunroof and 17-inch painted aluminum wheels.

The 2019 Sonic will be the eighth model year for the first generation of the car first introduced in 2012 as a replacement of the Chevy Aveo. Built at GM’s Orion Assembly Plant in suburban Detroit, the car has faced dwindling U.S. sales in recent years, with 30,290 sold in 2017, down from a high of 93,518 in 2014. But while crosstown rival Ford is killing off most of its car portfolio, GM isn’t quite ready to pump the brakes on its second-smallest car.

If the bold styling of some of its subcompact crossover peers doesn’t appeal to you, then the Rogue Sport’s grown-up appearance and interior will. Its exterior is handsome but not extroverted; its comfortable, spacious, and well-appointed interior, especially from the front seat, can fool occupants into thinking they’re riding in a larger, more expensive vehicle. Acceleration isn’t great, and driving dynamics are focused more on comfort than excitement, but the Rogue Sport makes up for these shortcomings with excellent cargo-hauling capability, a smooth ride, and above-average fuel economy. As a family car, the Rogue Sport also excels with plenty of rear-seat space for a child seat and a host of available active safety features—although most of these are limited to the expensive SL model. Whether you’re a new parent shopping for a kid-friendly crossover or an empty nester looking to downsize from a larger SUV without giving up too much utility, the Rogue Sport deserves consideration.

We didn’t get our look at the U.S. version until just recently, which is when we also finally got plenty of specifications on the little car. So as we did with the Genesis G70, we’ve brought you a breakdown of the Accent’s specs and some of the segment’s best and most popular: the Nissan Versa, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Sonic and Toyota Yaris iA.

Before we get to the chart, let’s give you a quick reintroduction to the 2018 Accent. The subcompact is completely new this year, and under the hood is again a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. It makes 7 fewer horsepower and 4 fewer pound-feet of torque than the outgoing model with totals of 130 horsepower and 119 pound-feet. This drop in power probably won’t be noticeable, though. It’s also available with either a manual or automatic transmission, both featuring six speeds. Fuel economy hasn’t been announced, but the Rio’s numbers below are probably a good indicator as they share powertrains.

The one thing that isn’t available with an Accent is a hatchback. According to Autoweek, the hatchback was canned with the assumption that hatch buyers would simply purchase an example of the upcoming Kona crossover. But if you want a traditional subcompact hatch from South Korea, Kia is happy to oblige, as the Rio is still available as a hatchback. Learning that the Kona may have killed the Accent hatch causes us to wonder if Kia brought the Rio hatch to the U.S. because it wasn’t planning on offering the Stonic.

–

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that the B-class Electric Drive—badged B250e—won’t be offered after the 2017 model year. The B250e is Mercedes-Benz’s only all-electric vehicle, yet the news of its demise isn’t entirely surprising. It was conceived from the start with an unusual pedigree and a limited shelf life while Mercedes-Benz used it to test some ideas (and meet its California ZEV-mandate requirements) on the way to a next electric step.

–

One of those next steps—in addition to more plug-in hybrids—is Mercedes’s upcoming all-electric EQ sub-brand. We expect the first EQ model to be about the size and form factor of the GLC crossover with a range of up to 310 miles, and it will go into production at Bremen, Germany, in 2019. Meanwhile, the Rastatt plant that assembles the B-class (as well as the A-class and GLA-class) will be reconfigured for a new generation of compact vehicles; it’s still unclear which of those vehicles will be offered in the United States.

–

The European B-class includes internal-combustion variants but the electric B250e has been the only way to get a B-class in the States. It’s been on sale since late in the 2014 model year, and although its badging last year changed for 2016 as part of Mercedes-Benz’s revamped nomenclature, the vehicle itself has changed little. We’ve found that the B-Class Electric Drive excels in passenger accommodation, handles well, and offers great outward visibility. Performance from its 177-hp motor isn’t particularly sprightly, it lacks a fast-charging port, and its relatively short, 87-mile range from a 28.0-kWh battery pack finds it trailing the pack among today’s EVs.

Powered by Tesla, Albeit Far from Ludicrous

Ironically, most of the B250e’s powertrain is produced (and was co-developed) by Tesla, which is known for long driving range and acceleration times. Tesla supplies not just the battery pack—filled with cylindrical cells that are not unlike those in the irresistible video below—but the entire B-class electric-drive system. It sends those components from California to Germany—and then, in many cases, the completed car is shipped to California dealerships.

Mercedes-Benz is forging ahead with plans to make electric vehicles a quarter of its global sales by 2025. This spring the company announced that it has broken ground to expand an existing facility in Kamenz, Germany, into its own version of Tesla’s Gigafactory—a massive five-hundred-million-euro global battery production compound, with a footprint of nearly 50 acres and 860,000 square feet of space. With that many batteries in the pipeline, and interest in the Tesla Model 3 seen as a turning point, count on future plug-in models to be aimed for wider mass appeal as the B250e fades into the sunset.

What It Is: A more rakishly styled SUV sibling to the subcompact BMW X1, this X2, spotted testing at the Nürburgring, is part of the brand’s master plan to leave no niche unfilled in its crossover lineup. BMW already makes the X1, X3, X4, X5, and X6—and the X7 has been confirmed—so an X2 was a no-brainer. READ MORE ››
