9/10DaciaDuster£10,770 – £18,930A far better car than it needs to be at the price, and we love it for that.
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
7/10HyundaiKona£17,240 – £40,895Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good.
6/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920Jumped-up Clio is miles less tinny than the old one. Breaks no rules, but it's good-looking, refined and comfy
7/10VauxhallCrossland X£18,230 – £24,235It presents enough rational arguments that it'll insinuate itself deep into many families' lives.
6/10FordEcoSport£18,425 – £22,840Ford has gone to work on the updated EcoSport, dragging it from a blot on its record to a class contender
7/10RenaultScenic£19,015 – £27,655MPV sales are down, but the stylish Scenic has every chance of reversing the trend.
7/10KiaSportage£20,085 – £34,765Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
5/10VauxhallMokka X£20,360 – £27,260Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,870 – £30,810Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
7/10MitsubishiEclipse Cross£21,950 – £29,190The Eclipse Cross is a striking and mostly successful Qashqai rival
7/10FordKuga£22,790 – £37,730The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car
4/10Hyundaii800£25,585 – £27,985Failed your family planning classes? You need a Hyundai i800. More budget airline than captain's chair, but needs must.
8/10MazdaCX-5£26,135 – £37,725The CX-5 is a cracking SUV that really will exceed your expectations. Well worth a look.
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
8/10HyundaiTucson£26,505 – £34,965Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials
7/10VolkswagenTouran£27,965 – £34,950Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.
7/10VolkswagenSharan£29,910 – £40,290It’s big, expensive and not especially clever, but it is really, really good at ferrying lots of people about. Really, really quietly.
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,235 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
7/10SeatAlhambra£30,415 – £38,270Seat’s most complete car. It has no real weaknesses – but we just know you’d rather have the VW…
