You won’t miss the 2008 in the car park thanks to its striking looks and the interior doesn’t disappoint either. It’s well built and has a very cool digital driver display, although the rear seats can be a bit tight for adults and the low steering wheel positioning may not suit everyone.

The T-Cross is all about practicality and offers more passenger and luggage space than you might expect in this class. It comes with a decent amount of standard equipment although some of the plastic trim is not up to VW’s usual high standards. It’s good to drive, but a bit noisy on the motorway.

Packed with practical features and plenty of standard kit, the Karoq offers a lot of value. You can pick from tons of options, the infotainment system is great and it’s well put. But the staid styling and driving experience let it down a bit.

The Captur will wow you with its great looks and impressive interior space. It’s not the most comfortable around town though, and you will have to shell out extra for the best safety kit. The frugal engine range should keep running costs low.

The Kamiq is another solid and practical Skoda, offering plenty of space and a comfortable drive. Standard kit is decent, too. It looks classy from the outside, but the design is a bit drab in the cabin. Many rivals have larger boots, but few match it for rear passenger space.

The Juke offers a sharp-looking exterior and an enjoyable driving experience. The interior is spacious, and it’s got a lot of standard safety kit. The infotainment system isn’t the best and you will want to stay away from the large wheels as they tend to spoil the ride quality.

You get an impressive amount of standard kit in the T-Roc, and it looks sharp inside and out. Alternatives cost less though and offer more rear seat space for taller passengers. If space isn’t a priority, it’s a stylish and comfortable choice.

The hybrid-only Honda HR-V is efficient and refined, it also has a lot of space for passengers aside from tight rear headroom. The design is elegant outside and stylish inside, but the boot is a bit smaller than average, and there are sportier alternatives if that matters.

The Arona offers some decent engines, sporty handling and good standard equipment levels. All that sportiness does make the ride a bit hard around town, and while the boot is generously proportioned, the rear seats are not. It’s great value though and the interior has been updated to look posher than before.

The Puma is one of the sportiest small crossovers around, it’s got loads of standard kit and a big boot, too. The sporty dynamics mean that it’s not the most comfortable over bumpy roads and the rear seats are a bit tight for taller passengers.
