All manufacturers want to be there present and offer even so innovative proposals as the new Toyota C-HR … while the older accelerate renewal cycles of its products, as has happened with Opel Mokka and X. Now, faced with both models with the always interesting Honda HR-V, a SUV with little more than year and a half on the market, and it noted for outstanding functionality.

So much Toyota C-HR and HR-V Honda and Opel Mokka X are models SUV which, a priori, they will be used for the daily routine of going to work, the gym, with family or shopping, but also for weekend plans in which must demonstrate its versatility and convincing dynamic capacity. But despite his appearance and denomination SUV that we apply, we are talking about cars that spend most of their lives on asphalt before roads or forest tracks, much less by trialeras- complicated areas where neither its ground clearance, nor approach and departure angles to obstacles or travel suspensions make them suitable.

Going into detail with each should be noted first that, despite their similarities in concept, the components of the trio are very different. Thus, the Toyota C-HR is out of the mainstream with its aggressive design and an unprecedented mechanical approach based on hybrid technology (provides 122 total hp) and, therefore, away from the current prevailing turbodiesel today in its segment.
