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
7/10SkodaKamiq£17,475 – £24,865Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting
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
7/10KiaSportage£20,085 – £34,765Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,570 – £30,210Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
8/10SkodaKaroq£22,015 – £34,590The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces
8/10SeatAteca£22,410 – £35,205A first-time entrant from Seat that feels like they’ve been practicing for years.
7/10AudiQ2£22,495 – £43,185Not revolutionary, but Q2 is different enough to make you stand out in a crowd.
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
8/10HyundaiTucson£26,485 – £34,965Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials
8/10BMWX2£31,230 – £41,560Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
