Small SUV car reviews

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

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

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

The Arona is a decent enough small crossover, but a Leon hatch is better looking, roughly the same size, and only slightly more expensive

Honda’s hybrid powertrain is still impressive, but just get it in the Civic rather than messing about with a heavier, uglier SUV

The Austral is well trimmed, feels high tech, and uses little fuel. If you want a hybrid crossover, it's a good choice

The Tonale is styled and engineered with more verve than most of its rivals. Not perfect, but no crossovers are
