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
1/10SuzukiJimny£15,664 – £19,164The Suzuki Jimny is a tiny, cheap and rival-free hardcore off-roader. Does what it does quite brilliantly. Does everything else appallingly.
7/10HyundaiKona£17,240 – £40,895Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good.
6/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920Jumped-up Clio is miles less tinny than the old one. Breaks no rules, but it's good-looking, refined and comfy
7/10SkodaKamiq£17,475 – £25,730Another 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
7/10VolkswagenT-Roc£20,265 – £37,540Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that
5/10VauxhallMokka X£20,360 – £27,260Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,870 – £30,810Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
7/10MitsubishiEclipse Cross£21,950 – £29,190The Eclipse Cross is a striking and mostly successful Qashqai rival
8/10SkodaKaroq£22,305 – £34,880The 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£22,770 – £36,075Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy
7/10FordKuga£22,790 – £37,730The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car
7/10MiniCountryman£23,125 – £37,375Biggest Mini yet is the least fun to drive. But new Countryman has practicality on its side.
6/10VauxhallGrandland X£23,690 – £46,595The Grandland X is a good car, but not a great car. However, that doesn’t matter so much in the SUV class
8/10VolvoXC40£24,700 – £38,050Volvo has made something nicely distinctive here. It'd be impressive even if they'd been practicing for years
8/10VolkswagenTiguan£24,785 – £41,350The latest Tiguan feels solid, sensible and laser-guided at its target market
