7/10MiniCountryman£23,125 – £37,375Biggest Mini yet is the least fun to drive. But new Countryman has practicality on its side.
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.
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
7/10AudiA5 Sportback£34,525 – £56,240Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.
