    The world's most popular nameplate is still Australia's most popular small passenger car. The current‑generation Toyota Corolla hatchback is getting on now, but is it still a solid offering in a sea of small SUVs?

    Hyundai's Ioniq range is nothing if not a flex in the face of Toyota. Sure, Toyota has a dominating position in the Australian market, with its well‑received range of hybrid models, but what happens after hybrid? Hyundai takes on the blocky Prius formula with not only a directly competing hybrid model, but a plug‑in and a fully electric version, too. This expansive range is as though Hyundai is trying to demonstrate it's ready for any future, near or far, and guess what, Toyota? Anything you can do; the Korean juggernaut thinks it can do better. These cars aren't really designed to sell so much as they are offerings for early adopters, but a few years after its launch, with a host of rivals set to take it on, and an entire sub‑brand based on the Ioniq just around the corner, is Hyundai's top‑spec Ioniq electric  worth a look? I took one for a week to find out.

    Toyota C-HR

    Top of the Toyota C‑HR range is the GR Sport, which starts from $54,990. As well as being more powerful ‑ we’ll come back to that, too ‑ it gets unique styling outside, plus synthetic leather‑accented and suede seats inside, aluminium scuff plates, and a heated GR Sport steering wheel.
