Sorry, purists. Porsche’s bestselling car in the UK is the most complete small premium SUV money can buy

A bunch of great updates make the Ford Mustang a sharper sports car while still staying true to its muscle car roots

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP

The first purpose-built Skoda EV nails the brief. Incredibly convincing alternative to its VW group rivals

The EQS SUV does it all but it lacks the character and supreme authority that makes the Range Rover such a lodestar

Few buyers will make full use of all the Defender's abilities, but it's a family car that’ll make you feel adventurous

The Cupra Ateca is quick, practical and handles pretty well. But it suffers in comparison with its younger, smarter sibling

With so much Giulia DNA, the Stelvio was bound to be good. At last an Alfa to buy with your heart *and* head

Sound the fanfare, it's a rear-drive Alfa that's rather good indeed. Updated tech helps too

The Tonale is styled and engineered with more verve than most of its rivals. Not perfect, but no crossovers are

BMW’s littlest SUV is no longer so little, but is hampered by its interior tech and combustion engines. iX1 is the pick of the bunch

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

The Q2 is bold on the surface, but woefully unremarkable beneath it

A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV which should come with a premium ownership experience, but doesn’t drive as well as its German rivals

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling now as it was when it was launched in 2016

A proper all-rounder with a spec for everyone. As long as you want a medium-sized SUV, of course

One of the pioneering performance SUVs uses plug-in power to stay relevant in its third generation
