CARS.COM — The hot-selling field of small SUVs will get even more crowded in the next couple of model years with new entries from Hyundai and Volkswagen.
Both automakers have released new teasers for their coming SUVs that are expected to come to the U.S., where both have been late to the party and need additional offerings for SUV-hungry buyers in the U.S., Europe and China.

Hyundai released a second teaser photo of the coming Kona subcompact SUV that could rival the likes of the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade. A photo in early April showed the daytime running lights and hood sculpting. The latest photo shows the front end, revealing a signature Hyundai hexagonal grille and an unusual lighting arrangement, with the LED daytime running lights and amber turn signals in a pod on the corners and separated headlights, which Hyundai says also are LEDs, positioned lower, next to the grille. The up-and-down arrangement seems to echo that of the Jeep Cherokee.
