7/10RenaultKadjar£20,870 – £30,810Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
8/10SkodaKaroq£22,305 – £34,880The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces
8/10SeatAteca£22,770 – £36,075Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
8/10HyundaiTucson£26,505 – £34,965Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials
8/10BMWX2£31,935 – £42,550Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
7/10Mercedes-BenzCLA Shooting Brake£32,055 – £58,135Much 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
7/10AudiA5 Sportback£34,525 – £56,240Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.
8/10BMW4 Series Coupe£34,540 – £52,050Less inviting to own than a Mercedes C-coupe, but scores points with excellent driving dynamics, a strong range, well laid-out cabin and class-best infotainment.
8/10BMW4 Series Coupe (2020)£34,540 – £52,050An outstandingly sorted car, but something tells us you’ve already made your mind up about liking the 4 Series or not
8/10AudiA6 Avant£41,210 – £78,410Another crushingly good effort from Audi. The new A6 Avant is a one-stop shop for family life
6/10AudiA7 Sportback£47,910 – £85,770Great to look at, good to drive. Whoever would have thought a limo-length five-door hatchback/coupe thing would work so well?
7/10AudiA7£47,910 – £85,770This isn’t a luxury sports saloon – it’s a luxury limousine dressed in a rakish, designer suit
