6/10JeepRenegade£19,480 – £30,660Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational
6/10ToyotaC-HR£29,940 – £32,420C-HR handles well and looks quirky, but hybrid and infotainment systems let the package down
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,870 – £30,810Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
7/10ToyotaC-HR£29,940 – £32,420The looks are polarising, but if you want it, you’ll really really want it.
7/10SkodaKamiq£17,475 – £25,730Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting
7/10KiaSportage£20,085 – £34,765Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
7/10ToyotaCorolla Touring Sports£25,255 – £32,925A Corolla estate is exactly as worthy (and no doubt as easy to own) as it sounds
8/10SkodaKaroq£22,305 – £34,880The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces
8/10SeatAteca£22,770 – £36,075Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy
8/10AudiS1£18,230 – £31,030Well done Audi, this one's a proper little stonker: fast, small, fun, a 4wd hot hatch done properly.
8/10HyundaiTucson£26,505 – £34,965Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials
