Small SUV Reviews

The best car in its class. New engine is so good, it earns it an extra point

A far better car than it needs to be at the price, and we love it for that.

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

The CX-5 is a cracking SUV that really will exceed your expectations. Well worth a look.

Looking to set a tentative foot into the future? This is the safest stepping stone yet

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape

Has the makings of a great family car, if lacking a little excitement

Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport

The Eclipse Cross is a striking and mostly successful Qashqai rival

All-new CR-V is a big step up. Not perfect, but a worthy rival to the best in this class

A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas

Jeep’s tough-look new Renegade brings much-needed brand kudos.

If you don't get excited by driving, perfectly acceptable. But there should be something more to it than that, no?

Lexus makes a posh compact SUV but forgets to make it drive well.

Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals

The Subaru XV can manage more than many of its competitors off-road, but it's let down by its engine and gearbox
