Small SUV car reviews

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

Not all that novel, but at least the Ariya is well equipped and the interior will win you over

Some cars make you wonder if the development work was ever finished; for the Haval Jolion Pro, it’s more ‘did they bother at all?’

The Alfa Junior is a lot of fun in Veloce form… just know the range means you’ll be having that fun briefly

It feels like a premium car, and it's very practical. But it'll need major software updates before we start to like driving it

The #5 is better to drive than you might expect, but that still doesn’t mean you need over 600bhp. Get the one with the longest range

It looks the part and it's fun to drive, but Abarth’s 600e can't escape its roots

Fancy a slice of sensible Skoda-ness but put off by the Enyaq’s size? The Elroq has you covered

The Euro-spec, fifth-gen Sportage strikes a neat balance between practicality and style. Like the looks? You'll be a fan

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

Y’know the latest Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet

The Karoq might be slightly dull, but it's eager to please and will slot seamlessly into your life

There's vanishingly little charisma to the S5 electric crossover, but it's competent and cheap enough

With a modern style and a number of tech conveniences, the Cadillac Optiq is an affordable option for those looking for a luxury EV, just don’t expect any excitement

The Terramar is more aggressively styled than its competitors, but also thoroughly decent to drive

Want a slightly taller Mazda 3 with extra wheelarch cladding? We've got the perfect car for you...

Latest generation of VW’s best-selling model plays things with a straight bat. Not a thriller, but nor is it designed to be
