Small SUV car reviews

Being useful and affordable is a good way to show up the showboats

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

The Volvo EX30 is a likeable and admirable car, unless you’re sat in the back of it or lost in the labyrinth that is the screen

The Crosstrek is a proper old school, rufty-tufy, go anywhere small SUV that is sure to appease the Subaru faithful

BMW's second full-electric car is a little more 'normal', a pragmatic EV designed to make ICE transition easy

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

With its good looks, well judged handling and competitive pricing, the Ateca remains a strong candidate for your shortlist

The Arkana doesn't excel anywhere and ultimately feels too clinical

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical

Land Rover stuck to a winning formula with the introduction of the second generation Evoque, and it remains a stylish, accomplished choice

The right badge on the wrong car? Perhaps not. It's a cracker to drive

Very popular and with good reason: the Q5 is a posh family crossover done well

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well. But a GLB is the better choice

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

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

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

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

Latest CR-V is a sensible family buy and the new PHEV option makes sense for company drivers

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP

A solid electric car for people who are looking for a solid electric car experience

The Cupra Ateca is quick, practical and handles pretty well. But it suffers in comparison with its younger, smarter sibling
