6/10SeatLeon£18,645 – £32,250Seat’s strongest car in a long time, the Leon is now a Golf-baiting player.
8/10SeatLeon Cupra£18,645 – £32,250Not as cheap as you’d expect, but still one of the best hot hatches on sale
8/10SeatLeon£18,645 – £32,250Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. A stylish, well-equipped and cheaper version of its German cousin
6/10MiniClubman£21,725 – £36,075The Clubman has charm but, although roomier, it’s not as fun to drive as it was.
7/10MiniCountryman£23,125 – £37,375Biggest Mini yet is the least fun to drive. But new Countryman has practicality on its side.
6/10KiaProceed£24,065 – £28,825A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
5/10Mercedes-BenzGLA£25,515 – £37,020Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well indeed, but it's not without its problems...
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.
8/10BMWX2£31,935 – £42,550Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
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.
8/10Land RoverDiscovery Sport£43,410An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness
