My guess is they put DRLs above the headlights on the smaller and lower SUVs. Visually it makes the vehicles appear taller... just my guess.

15 years later we'll look back and wonder why we had so many small ugly SUVs.
They just don't look good when you shorten them so much. You have slightly taller riding cars with not much cargo space.

looks to me like a lot nicer interior than NX too. Lets hope exterior shows not-so-subtle details in other colors and angles. I wanted it to be more creative, like new C-HR is.

It is not that small for us in Europe or Japan I guess.... C-HR for instance is perfectly fine-sized for me.

That grille will never work on any CUV/SUV.
Anyhow, I don't feel any vehicle in this class is great save for the X1. GLA is a turd and the Q3 is ancient.
The X1 looks decent enough too, whereas the others look like ugly bugs that need to be stepped on.

A while back C&D did a comparison test of compact luxury CUV's that included X1, NX, GLA, GX30 and Q3 and in their words the X1 "ran away with the test". Even though it's selling pretty well the Q3 needs an update ASAP.
