Sometimes you get cars that look incredibly exciting, exotic even, but underneath their highly styled exteriors lies engineering of a decidedly more unadventurous nature. The original Ford Capri, for example, (1969 and now highly collectable), had gorgeous looks inspired by its American cousin, the Mustang, but some basic engines and suspension.
Then again, some cars look fairly mainstream but harbour some extraordinarily smart and innovative engineering. Such is the Mazda CX-30, a compact SUV equipped with a new powertrain, which makes a strong case for itself.
