AboutThatCar.com: 2020 Lexus NX 300h

This review of the 2020 Lexus NX 300h started in Houston. We landed and picked up the luxury crossover at airport parking and headed here, no stops, no visiting friends, no nothing. We got on state highway 59 South headed for I-610 East that would take us to I-10 East.

As soon as they dropped off the 2017 Mazda6, we were headed down Hwy 14 to connect with I-94 West and on to Chicago. Once we were clear of the expressway like traffic, we set the car’s adaptive cruise control on 78 mph and settled in for what turned out to be an uneventful drive.

The Hyundai Elantra Sport was a great car. Never mind its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that made 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Never mind that it had a smooth shifting six-speed manual transmission.

AboutThatCar.com: 2020 Mazda CX-30

The 2020 Mazda CX-30 is the second model to adopt the latest evolution of Kodo design. It is a more mature interpretation of the striking design ethos.

The short story is as the automobile market continues to shift towards crossovers and sport utilities, Mazda created the CX-30 to meet a need. That’s what they told us. But the small crossover also fills out the automaker’s crossover lineup, giving it a full-size, mid-size and now small crossover.

Overnight, that was as long as we had the 2021 GMC Yukon. But it was long enough to form an opinion. They put a lot of work into this sport utility and made it better, much better than the model it replaces.
