Four Wheel Drive Hatchback Reviews

Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational

Jeep’s tough-look new Renegade brings much-needed brand kudos.

Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that

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

The Clubman has charm but, although roomier, it’s not as fun to drive as it was.

The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces

A bit phoned-in from Audi. It's fine, but the only USP is that badge.

Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy

We've had to wait for it, but the new Mondeo has been well worth it.

Volvo has made something nicely distinctive here. It'd be impressive even if they'd been practicing for years

The latest Tiguan feels solid, sensible and laser-guided at its target market

One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too

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

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness

Much better to drive than the A-Class it’s based on, plus it’s more useful than the saloon. Buy one of these, not a crossover

Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.

Goes in a different direction to the German alternatives, with convincing success.
