Reviews SummaryThe all-new 2023 Kia Niro offers up a fresh take on sustainable mobility. From cleanly defined exterior lines to a minimalist but eco-friendly cabin redesign (the seats are made from eucalyptus leaves!), the second-generation Niro also tops the fuel economy charts with a best-in-class 4.4 L/100 km combined. | |
Reviews SummaryThe luxury subcompact and compact crossover classes are popular ones in Canada. They hit the sweet spot for many consumers: the elevated ride height and interior volume of the body style, the prestige badge, and the premium comfort. Smaller subcompact vehicles also tend to come with smaller price tags, adding to the attractiveness of this segment. The Acura ADX lands squarely in size and price among competitors such as the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Lexus UX, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and others. Verdict: The Acura ADX delivers on its promise: an experience that is scaled down in size but not standards. Some will find it underpowered, but most will be thrilled to get this mix of comfort, convenience, and styling at a competitive price. | |
