The Nissan Kicks (replacing the all wheel drive Nissan Juke), the Toyota C-HR, and now the Hyundai Venue, are all new "subcompact SUVs" (Kelley Bluebook calls them "SUV-lets") with front wheel drive only.
What were they thinking? Why bother creating a front wheel drive only SUV type vehicle?
I guess it makes sense for the California and Hawaii markets. But, for those of us who live in places that get serious snow, and who sometimes drive on dirt roads that turn to mud, this is insanity and an oxymoron of the worst kind.
Yes, we need all-wheel drive in snowy Colorado because you stop faster than those people with 2-wheel drive.
