Small SUV car reviews

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

The Q2 is bold on the surface, but woefully unremarkable beneath it

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Expensive though and you'd have to really like the yoke to pick it over rivals

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

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

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

A good looking car, but as hamstrung as its rivals for boot size

Everything you liked (and most of what you didn’t) in the Model 3, in a more practical shape. But not a pretty one

A proper all-rounder with a spec for everyone. As long as you want a medium-sized SUV, of course

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

Hyundai's most strident styling yet clothes a car as sensible and well appointed as you'd hope

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

A capable answer to a question nobody should be asking

Mini's crossover still sits in the family-size heartland, but there are more interesting options now available

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

The plucky pretender is now the establishment, but the Qashqai's as easy to use and practical as ever

The C5 Aircross won't scratch your driver's itch, but it's a part-of-the-family kind of car, at ease with itself

Perhaps it’s a little too involving to drive for a daily hack. The powertrain could be better calibrated, basically

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

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