Small SUV car reviews

Facelift X-Trail is softer and more sophisticated, but still more agricultural than class best

Not as good to drive as we hoped, but the interior design and space makes up for it. Solid effort

Mazda's small crossover is well-specced, good-looking and sweet-driving

There are better all-rounders, but idiosyncrasy and charm mark it out

Subaru has got the Forester on track. Able and sensible, it's not about style and it's better for it

It may be a baby crossover for the fashion conscious but it's all Range Rover at heart

A little better than the monstrosity that was the Frontera, but expensive and unrefined. Not vauxhall's finest hour

Nice-looking Vauxhall mini-MPV has a neat interior and that's about it. Can't hold a candle to a Yeti

Seriously expensive for a compact crossover SUV, but delivers a little taste of luxury

The A4 Allroad is an SUV for people who don't want an SUV... and can't afford an A6 Allroad

Practical, stylish and not at all hairy, the Yeti is a great alternative to a regular hatchback or SUV

A good-looking small SUV that drives rather well. Worth considering if you're in the market
