Small SUV car reviews

There are few crossovers as car-like to drive, but the lack of hybrid options might count against it

Citroen's little crossover has a very useful cabin, and it's more individual than many of its ilk. Pity it's not as comfy as billed

The Kona N isn't without compromise, but few performance crossovers feel as close to a hot hatchback as this

Perhaps the most sensible and straight-laced SUV on sale. Which might just be exactly what you're looking for

Jaguar’s little crossover is broadly competitive but loses out overall to Volvo's XC40

Judge it as a taller, fatter Golf R and it's very good. But it's flawed family transport

Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir

The F-Pace SVR has a character of its own versus other über-SUVs. Nicely laid back as a daily companion. Unless you deliberately go looking for its sharper side...

The Vitara isn't the coolest crossover on sale, but there's still some fun to be had. More to like here than you might expect

Presents enough rational arguments that it'll insinuate itself deep into many families' lives. But feels its age in many respects. There are better, more interesting cars in this class

It might be a bit quirky for some, but quiet EV power really suits the Lexus vibe

Absolutely the Niro to have. Far more interesting and even more practical than its hybrid siblings

It's cheap, sure, but the rest of it won't make you run away screaming

Something of an oddity, but not without charm

Another taller, tougher A6 wagon, another reason to kill all pointless SUVs

Happily almost as practical as a normal Q3, but no sportier and saddled with a laggy gearbox

Cheap, but doesn't always feel it. The Korando is coming of age

BMW X4, this is all your fault. Can Mercedes do the coupe-SUV any better?

A talented all-rounder from Mercedes. An easy to recommend if soulless piece of kit

A perfect illustration of why the world is being taken over by crossovers.

Not revolutionary, but perhaps the most compelling E-Class estate of all
