8/10LamborghiniUrus£163,962On paper it's a clash of purposes, in reality it's a mouth-watering prospect. Can Lamborghini inject some real supercar DNA into a 2.2-tonne SUV?
8/10Rolls-RoyceCullinan£276,000Even if you struggle with the concept of the big, fast, heavy SUV, you can’t argue with the execution here
8/10Alfa RomeoStelvio£37,160 – £88,165Perhaps it isn’t as stirring as Alfas of the past, but this time who knows, you might actually buy one.
8/10Land RoverDiscovery£46,110 – £68,890The consummate big family SUV. Spectacular off-road, now better on it, but is it just too Range Rover for its own good?
8/10PorscheMacan£46,913 – £68,530For stunning breadth of ability underlined by sporting nous, no small SUV gets close
7/10Mercedes-BenzGLC 63 AMG£76,505By no means perfect, but blessed with such character we can forgive AMG’s bombastic GLC
7/10JeepWrangler£38,620 – £48,120If you ‘get’ the Wrangler, this one’s easier to live with than ever before and just as easy to love. If you don’t, there’s always the Skoda Kodiaq
7/10SuzukiJimny£15,664 – £19,164The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover out there. Just don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it
6/10JeepCompass£25,835 – £32,790More an SUV than a soft-roader. Patchy dynamics but well finished and has good off-road ability
6/10SsangyongRexton£28,125 – £37,625A giant, kitted out seven-seat 4x4 for the price of a top-spec Qashqai. Only apply if you like your driving rufty-tufty
6/10JeepRenegade£19,480 – £30,660Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational
4/10BMWX3 M£76,800 – £85,300Far from M Division’s finest hour. Fast, but you couldn’t live with the ride
