8/10SubaruOutback£29,425 – £32,440A likeable Swiss Army knife. A bit bland but will shrug off anything thrown at it.
8/10JaguarE-Pace£28,815 – £48,060Jaguar’s little crossover aims to storm a competitive set with F-Type-inspired looks inside and out, and an engaging drive
8/10SkodaKodiaq£25,875 – £43,155A Top Gear award winner in 2016, and rightly so – Skoda’s big crossover is all things to all families.
8/10VolkswagenTiguan£24,785 – £41,350The latest Tiguan feels solid, sensible and laser-guided at its target market
8/10JaguarF-Pace£36,235 – £73,145Jaguar joins the SUV party and nails it first time. Well heeled families will love it
8/10VolvoXC40£24,700 – £42,250Volvo has made something nicely distinctive here. It'd be impressive even if they'd been practicing for years
8/10MazdaCX-5£26,135 – £37,425The CX-5 is a cracking SUV that really will exceed your expectations. Well worth a look.
7/10VolkswagenT-Roc£20,265 – £37,540Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that
7/10FordKuga£22,790 – £37,730The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car
7/10AudiA3 E-Tron£22,500 – £37,925Not the perfect solution to all your motoring needs, but a great first effort at a useable everyday hybrid.
7/10JaguarXF Sportbrake£37,125 – £54,125Jaguar said its SUVs made new estate cars pointless. It’s built one anyway, and it’s mostly a success.
7/10SkodaOctavia Estate£20,680 – £29,700Well thought out, versatile and thoroughly decent family estate. The weeniest bit boring
7/10FordMondeo Estate£25,675 – £33,825More grown up and all the better for it. Priced very keenly too - it's a smart shout.
7/10JeepWrangler£38,620 – £48,120If you ‘get’ the Wrangler, this one’s easier to live with than ever before and just as easy to love. If you don’t, there’s always the Skoda Kodiaq
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
7/10AudiQ2£22,495 – £43,185Not revolutionary, but Q2 is different enough to make you stand out in a crowd.
7/10AudiS3/RS3£22,500 – £37,925Incredibly competent, deceptively fast, but needs to be at warp speed before it gets interesting.
7/10AudiA3£22,500 – £37,925The definitive example of rock-solid, sensible, impeccable German engineering
7/10MitsubishiEclipse Cross£21,950 – £29,190The Eclipse Cross is a striking and mostly successful Qashqai rival
6/10MitsubishiOutlander PHEV£28,050 – £44,170It’s brilliant. But only up to a point. Pity. It could be so much better...
6/10Mercedes-BenzA-Class£23,485 – £55,235Connectivity and interior layout takes priority over how it drives. For some, that'll be perfect
6/10VauxhallGrandland X£23,690 – £46,595The Grandland X is a good car, but not a great car. However, that doesn’t matter so much in the SUV class
