Small SUV car reviews

Judge it as a taller, fatter Golf R and it's very good. But it's flawed family transport

Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir

The F-Pace SVR has a character of its own versus other über-SUVs. Nicely laid back as a daily companion. Unless you deliberately go looking for its sharper side...

The Vitara isn't the coolest crossover on sale, but there's still some fun to be had. More to like here than you might expect

Presents enough rational arguments that it'll insinuate itself deep into many families' lives. But feels its age in many respects. There are better, more interesting cars in this class

It might be a bit quirky for some, but quiet EV power really suits the Lexus vibe

Absolutely the Niro to have. Far more interesting and even more practical than its hybrid siblings

It's cheap, sure, but the rest of it won't make you run away screaming

Something of an oddity, but not without charm

Another taller, tougher A6 wagon, another reason to kill all pointless SUVs

Happily almost as practical as a normal Q3, but no sportier and saddled with a laggy gearbox

Cheap, but doesn't always feel it. The Korando is coming of age

BMW X4, this is all your fault. Can Mercedes do the coupe-SUV any better?

A talented all-rounder from Mercedes. An easy to recommend if soulless piece of kit

A perfect illustration of why the world is being taken over by crossovers.

Not revolutionary, but perhaps the most compelling E-Class estate of all

Concentrates on what matters in a small SUV - looking and feeling different to a hatch

If you can overlook the ST badges and expectations, this Edge makes a compelling case as a quick, useful, flexible daily driver.

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

First car from Caddy's new range makes the future look bright...

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