3/10NissanPulsar£16,340 – £18,110A perfectly able family hatchback that brings absolutely nothing new to the sector. Why, Nissan?
6/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920Jumped-up Clio is miles less tinny than the old one. Breaks no rules, but it's good-looking, refined and comfy
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,555 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
8/10Mercedes-BenzB-Class£27,385 – £37,585The B-Class is now a genuine contender – if an expensive one – in the family hatch sector.
8/10MazdaCX-5£26,135 – £37,425The CX-5 is a cracking SUV that really will exceed your expectations. Well worth a look.
9/10DaciaDuster£10,770 – £18,930A far better car than it needs to be at the price, and we love it for that.
