7/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920If it ain't broke, don't fix it; updated Captur is still one of the better small crossovers on sale
7/10Fiat500£11,940 – £21,520Technically and mechanically other city cars outstrip it, but emotionally – well, that’s up to you. We understand.
7/10KiaPicanto£9,840 – £14,950Another string to Kia’s ever more impressive bow, the Picanto is a fun and interesting city car.
7/10CitroenC3£15,935 – £20,200Good but not great supermini for dynamics, but a thoroughly enjoyable object
6/10RenaultCaptur£17,370 – £24,920Jumped-up Clio is miles less tinny than the old one. Breaks no rules, but it's good-looking, refined and comfy
6/10MitsubishiOutlander PHEV£28,050 – £44,170It’s brilliant. But only up to a point. Pity. It could be so much better...
5/10Hyundaii20£13,950 – £18,600Worthy supermini that majors on ease of use and grown-up design. Fun is in short order though
5/10MitsubishiOutlander£28,050 – £44,170If you don't get excited by driving, perfectly acceptable. But there should be something more to it than that, no?
4/10SubaruXV£24,740 – £30,730The Subaru XV can manage more than many of its competitors off-road, but it's let down by its engine and gearbox
3/10MitsubishiMirage£11,095 – £13,800Expensive, slow, horrid to drive. A mass of metal without sense or relish or ability or anything, really.
