7/10Hyundaii40£22,740 – £28,940Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10RenaultKadjar£20,570 – £30,210Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport
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.
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?
Editor’s choice9/10Land RoverRange Rover£81,785 – £177,485One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar
7/10VolkswagenT-Roc£20,265 – £37,540Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that
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.
8/10SeatAteca£22,410 – £35,205A first-time entrant from Seat that feels like they’ve been practicing for years.
8/10SkodaKaroq£22,015 – £34,590The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces
7/10NissanJuke£14,935 – £25,170The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland
7/10SeatLeon ST£23,855 – £28,495Only the interior isn't as good as the Golf. Beyond that, there's not a lot to split the Leon ST.
7/10SkodaKamiq£17,475 – £24,865Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting
8/10BMWX2£31,230 – £41,560Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
7/10Peugeot208£16,065 – £23,145A supremely desirable, futuristic ‘mini with a powertrain for everyone. Just beware the firm ride
8/10BMW3 Series Touring£33,840 – £49,470For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want
7/10VolkswagenArteon£32,480 – £41,605Good looking, spacious and well equipped, but it’s missing on that oh-so-important ‘buy-me’ factor...
8/10BMW4 Series Coupe£34,490 – £51,130Less 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.
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
7/10AudiA7£47,910 – £85,770This isn’t a luxury sports saloon – it’s a luxury limousine dressed in a rakish, designer suit
8/10VolkswagenTiguan£24,785 – £41,350The latest Tiguan feels solid, sensible and laser-guided at its target market
