Peel away the decades of evolution that have softened the modern SUV—independent suspension, leather-trimmed heated seats, rear-seat entertainment systems, power-adjustable pedals—and what do you have left? Heritage from the golden age of off-roading. The term “sport utility vehicle” didn’t exist back then. People were just realizing that vehicles designed for emergency crews and farmers also

Hyundai’s entry into the subcompact class, the new-for-2018 Kona crossover, sure made a splash. It was small and affordable, but wore bold styling with odd eyebrow-like running lamps hovering over headlights disguised as fog lamps in the bumper. Mix in its fun paint colors, available turbo engine, and cheeky vibe, and the Hyundai Kona was about
