Pros Powerful engines Agile handling Standard all-wheel drive User-friendly infotainment system
Cons Small rear seats Poor cargo capacity
The 2018 BMW X4 xDrive28i is already a potent little performer and will satisfy the majority of drivers. Almost all of the features from the range-topping M40i are available as options, so you won't be missing much other than the overabundance of power.
PROS Powerful yet efficient engine choices Interior quality well represents the luxury class Ride quality is smooth yet handling is sporty
CONS Rearward visibility is compromised Cargo capacity is much smaller than rivals Limited rear-seat space
The 2018 BMW X4 takes today’s trend toward swoopier SUVs and packages it with a roundel up front. It’s entertaining and a looker, but not all that practical.
Pros Compelling shape Exciting performance from M40i Well-equipped at base trim level Excellent 8-speed automatic
Cons Pricey at more than $48,000 to start $2,000 for CarPlay? Really? Rear seat head room is compromised Cargo area is oddly shaped
Skoda’s smallest SUV is a comfortable, class-leading family car.
PROS Very comfortable Seriously practical Generous standard kit Finance offers are very competitive
CONS Not as sharp to drive as some rivals 1.0-litre petrol engine struggles on motorways Lack of super-low-emissions engine Looks very similar to larger Kodiaq
The Karoq is an accomplished crossover that will slot effortlessly into family life. It’s practical, comfortable, and packed with clever touches inside and out.
Pros Roomy interior Generously equipped Cheaper than a Tiguan
Cons Not as engaging to drive as rivals DSG gearbox isn't the best Less characterful than its predecessor, the Yeti
The Skoda Karoq is a spacious family car with a big boot. It’s easy to drive and comfortable – so long as you avoid the big wheels – but Edition models are expensive
Pros Very practical Solid build quality Comfortable with smaller wheels
Cons Big wheels amplify bumps The 115hp petrol’s underpowered Top-of-the-range model is expensive
