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.
8/10Land RoverDiscovery Sport£43,410An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness
8/10JaguarF-Pace£40,945 – £73,145Jaguar joins the SUV party and nails it first time. Well heeled families will love it
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.
7/10MiniCountryman£23,125 – £37,375Biggest Mini yet is the least fun to drive. But new Countryman has practicality on its side.
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
6/10JeepCompass£25,835 – £32,790More an SUV than a soft-roader. Patchy dynamics but well finished and has good off-road ability
5/10InfinitiQ30£20,730 – £37,375Suffers from exactly the same flaw as every other Infiniti – the only reason you’d buy one is because it’s rare-groove different. Not necessarily better.
