7/10JaguarXF Sportbrake£37,125 – £54,125 A wilfully traditional, likeable and keenly priced estate car. Tech and powertrains now improved too
7/10Mercedes-BenzCLA Shooting Brake£32,055 – £58,135Much better to drive than the A-Class it’s based on, plus it’s more useful than the saloon. Buy one of these, not a crossover
6/10MiniClubman£21,725 – £36,075The Clubman has charm but, although roomier, it’s not as fun to drive as it was.
6/10KiaProceed£24,065 – £28,825A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
