Small SUV car reviews

Smaller and lighter would've been lovely, but no dice. Oh well, the Countryman still hits its brief as an SUV

The Terramar avoids most of the typical plug-in hybrid pitfalls, pinched boot aside

The third gen 3008 doesn't feel like a revolution. For many, that'll be a win. Refined hybrid powertrain, but ride could be better

Among an abundance of small SUVs, the 2008, with its eye-catching looks and great interior tech, is one of the most interesting

Definitely the sensible option, but you'll be laughing all the way to the petrol station

Like the Yaris, but fancy something slightly taller? You'll like this slightly taller Yaris

The Symbioz is a perfectly fine family runabout, but lacks a little sparkle in an ever-crowded sector

The MG HS prioritises price and passenger comfort, but can’t compete with rivals when it comes to driving dynamics

A pleasing step on form the car it replaces, but you’re unlikely to be buying it for anything other than its remarkable pricing

The Nissan Qashqai gets some worthy improvements as part of a chunky facelift. Does the job admirably, not really one for the enthusiast. Obviously

VW’s coupe-crossover will win some fans for its sportier looks, but otherwise it’s easily forgettable

A supremely complete crossover. And better to drive than it strictly needs to be

The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland

Familiar with the Golf? No surprises here, but there are plenty more interesting options out there

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

Vauxhall's biggest crossover looks the part, but a very ordinary drive makes it otherwise easily forgettable. Wait for the next gen

While the hybrid UX is a smart, comfortable and efficient family runabout, it's not without its flaws

Peugeot’s largest SUV is a proper seven-seater with plenty of practicality and it looks stylish too

If you like the mad looks of this second-generation C-HR, there's very little to count against it

A family crossover by numbers. Too much of a cliche and not individual. Battery and motor tech shows promise though

The new Scenic is spacious, efficient, and good-looking. But did Renault have to pinch the name from its fondly-remembered MPV?
