Small SUV car reviews

Definitely the sensible option, but you'll be laughing all the way to the petrol station

Like the Yaris, but fancy something slightly taller? You'll like this slightly taller Yaris

The Symbioz is a perfectly fine family runabout, but lacks a little sparkle in an ever-crowded sector

The MG HS prioritises price and passenger comfort, but can’t compete with rivals when it comes to driving dynamics

A pleasing step on form the car it replaces, but you’re unlikely to be buying it for anything other than its remarkable pricing

The Nissan Qashqai gets some worthy improvements as part of a chunky facelift. Does the job admirably, not really one for the enthusiast. Obviously

VW’s coupe-crossover will win some fans for its sportier looks, but otherwise it’s easily forgettable

A supremely complete crossover. And better to drive than it strictly needs to be

The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland

Familiar with the Golf? No surprises here, but there are plenty more interesting options out there

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

Vauxhall's biggest crossover looks the part, but a very ordinary drive makes it otherwise easily forgettable. Wait for the next gen

While the hybrid UX is a smart, comfortable and efficient family runabout, it's not without its flaws

Peugeot’s largest SUV is a proper seven-seater with plenty of practicality and it looks stylish too

If you like the mad looks of this second-generation C-HR, there's very little to count against it

A family crossover by numbers. Too much of a cliche and not individual. Battery and motor tech shows promise though

The new Scenic is spacious, efficient, and good-looking. But did Renault have to pinch the name from its fondly-remembered MPV?

The styling is a matter of taste, but anyone put off by it will be missing out on one of the best-realised EV crossovers there is

The e-3008 isn’t a revolution, but the design and interior have both improved over the old petrol car. Pity it’s not more spacious

Lexus has high hopes for its smallest compact crossover. Smart looks, a premium interior and efficient drive offer plenty of promise

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
