8/10BMWX2£31,230 – £41,560Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
7/10Mercedes-BenzGLA£24,915 – £36,420A likeable thing. Go for a higher powertrain and it makes most sense.
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.
6/10KiaProceed£24,065 – £28,825A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
5/10InfinitiQ30£20,730 – £37,375Suffers from exactly the same flaw as every other Infiniti – the only reason you’d buy one is because it’s rare-groove different. Not necessarily better.
