If you want to know how good the Jogger is, just look at its highly coveted 9/10 score. We don’t give those out too often, and this is a budget-friendly brand. It represents fantastic value for money, but on top of that it’s also comfortable, hugely practical, and surprisingly nice inside for a car at this price point. Handily, there’s now a hybrid-engined version which not only saves on fuel, but also offers a standard automatic gearbox.

The Clio does what the Clio has always done — it provides frugal hatchback motoring with a dash of style. The recent update has given it a nose-job that makes it look fresh again, and the cabin has had a light going-over so that it now feels a bit better put together. Space in the rear seats isn’t great, but the boot is pretty big, once you can lift stuff over the high loading sill. The hybrid version is very economical and offers a standard automatic, which is helpful but the infotainment system is a bit on the clunky side.

Small city cars don’t need to look bland; the Peugeot 208 is ample proof of that. The interior is just as striking, and only a slightly unintuitive infotainment screen and tight rear legroom mar an otherwise great cabin. An optional eight-speed automatic gearbox for the petrol version helps take the stress out of city driving while the electric model now comes with an optional longer-range battery offering up to 250 miles (although it’s worth remembering that plugging in to charge up can be awkward for wheelchair users).

The Peugeot 208 might be on the small side for you, so if you want a stylish little crossover with the same snazzy interior style, but more space, the Peugeot 2008 is just the thing. It offers low running costs and a fun driving experience, although the diesel engine is a bit unrefined, and the rear seats are tight for adults. There's also an electric version that offers punchy performance and all the same style, with a range of up to 250 miles.

This practical little crossover may not have the most stylish looks or offer the most engaging driving experience, but it majors on practicality, comfort and cabin space. Standard equipment levels are decent, too, although the fancier infotainment system costs extra.

The latest Kia Sportage takes all the boring family car practicalities, like a spacious cabin and easy driving experience, and wraps them up in a smart and stylish exterior that’s genuinely striking to look at. There’s also plenty of tech on-board, as well as smooth hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options that offer low running costs.

The Qashqai scores highly as a Motability car, not least because it has thoughtful touches like doors that are designed to open especially wide so that it’s easier to get in and out, and a large and useful boot. The cabin allows you to sit up high, and while the infotainment system is fiddly, it’s a really comfortable car. The e-Power hybrid version is very frugal around town, but less so on the motorway, so consider the 1.3 petrol turbo model if you’re a regular long-haul driver.

You can’t really go wrong with a Volkswagen, and the Taigo is another good example of this. One of the manufacturer’s vast line-up of SUVs, you get lots of equipment regardless of trim level, and it feels compact and composed on the move. It’s not particularly fun when the road gets twisty, though.

The Yaris offers a decent level of equipment and is enjoyable to drive, while the hybrid engine keeps running costs low. It does get a bit loud under hard acceleration and we would stick to the smaller wheels to keep the ride comfortable. Rear passenger and boot space is compromised compared to alternatives, though.
Battery range up to 252 miles

The Corsa looks sharp, especially thanks to the recent re-styling job, and has plenty of kit as standard, while the increased electric range of the Corsa Electric should be enough for most. Some rivals do offer more interior space for rear passengers and a more adventurous cabin design, but it’s all well-made in there. It’s also surprisingly fun to drive, though, and the boot of the electric version is no smaller than in a regular Corsa.
