Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose.

A brilliantly executed contradiction: very fast and a fine long-distance GT.

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.

A big step on from the old one. Drives well, great cabin environment.

Enjoyable enough to drive, manages to be alternative without being oddball.

Jaguar joins the SUV party and nails it first time. Well heeled families will love it

A Top Gear award winner in 2016, and rightly so – Skoda’s big crossover is all things to all families.

The VW faces an uphill struggle against brand laden rivals, but is actually just as good.

Has moved on from its predecessor and is now one of the best luxury SUVs on sale.

Seven seats and plenty of off-road ability, but many will find the smaller, cheaper Merc ML as good.

Capable, dependable, and civilised. Pity about the styling: it’s brash outside and too reminiscent of a Corolla within.
