6/10FiatTipo£14,915 – £20,910Probably Fiat’s least interesting car, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth ignoring if you love a bargain.
7/10Peugeot208£16,065 – £23,145A supremely desirable, futuristic ‘mini with a powertrain for everyone. Just beware the firm ride
7/10Peugeot208£16,065 – £23,145Peugeot has a hit on its hands with the good looking and cheerily willing 208.
8/10Peugeot208 GTI£16,065 – £23,145Peugeot has at last rediscovered some hot hatch form. Not the most startling small fast hatch, but a good effort.
7/10Hyundaii30£17,090 – £25,250A very rational car in standard form, which will make your life easy, but not exciting
8/10HyundaiKona Electric£17,240 – £40,895One of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today
7/10HyundaiKona£17,240 – £40,895Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good
6/10RenaultMegane£17,515 – £23,930Not the most compelling hatch, but as a car for real family life, it could be brilliant
7/10RenaultScenic£19,015 – £27,655MPV sales are down, but the stylish Scenic has every chance of reversing the trend.
6/10JeepRenegade£19,480 – £30,660Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational
6/10KiaCee'd Sportswagon£19,625 – £24,585The Kia Cee'd is the car that lobs the paving slab of reality into the windscreen of preconception. It might be a straight clone of a Toyota/Ford/VW hatch, but it’s a damn good one.
7/10KiaSportage£20,085 – £34,765Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,870 – £30,810Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
7/10Hyundaii40£22,415 – £28,615Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10MazdaCX-30£22,670 – £33,270Mazda successfully plugs the teeny-tiny gap between its CX-3 and CX-5 with another crossover
8/10Hyundaii40 Tourer£23,675 – £29,865Another convincing effort from Hyundai and a tempting alternative to the more obvious Mondeo.
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
4/10SubaruXV£27,410 – £32,740The Subaru XV can manage more than many of its competitors off-road, but it's let down by its engine and gearbox
7/10VolkswagenTouran£27,965 – £34,950Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.
