Small SUV car reviews

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

Crossovers have become the same-iest cars ever. Why not go for one that’s a bit more left field?

If you like the mad looks of this second-generation C-HR, there's very little else to count against it

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

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously overdelivers on the underpromising price...

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

Latest CR-V is a sensible family buy and the new PHEV option makes sense for company drivers

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

A solid electric car for people who are looking for a solid electric car experience

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

The Arona is a decent enough small crossover, but a Leon hatch is better looking, roughly the same size, and only slightly more expensive

Neither novel nor especially good value, but at least the Ariya is well equipped and the interior will win over many

Vauxhall's biggest crossover now looks the part, but a very ordinary drive makes it otherwise easily forgettable

Honda’s hybrid powertrain is still impressive, but just get it in the Civic rather than messing about with a heavier, uglier SUV

The Austral is well trimmed, feels high tech, and uses little fuel. If you want a hybrid crossover, it's a good choice

What we have here is a sensible family car that - in twin motor guise - happens to go like the clappers

Like the Yaris, but fancy something slightly taller? You'll like this slightly taller Yaris

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

The hybrid UX remains an alternative choice, but it's a smart, comfortable family runabout

The MG HS prioritises price and passenger comfort, but can’t compete with rivals when it comes to driving dynamics

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
