PROS Unmistakeable looks, great comfort, agreeable electric version
CONS You can't get a quick one. But it wouldn't work anyway
The Citroën C4 is very temptingly priced for a coupé SUV, while comfort and refinement also impress. You do pay for its cushiness with roly-poly handling, though, and there are more practical options.
PROS Comfortable ride Little wind or road noise Well priced
CONS Body lean in bends Boot is on the small side No alarm on entry-level model
PROS Ride comfort and general quietness Eager and efficient engines Spacious, minimalist interior
CONS Go elsewhere if you want sportiness No hybrid models available Divisive styling won't universally appeal
The Jeep Renegade offers distinctive styling and decent practicality, but most rivals make it feel agricultural.
Pros Plenty of standard equipment Good safety rating Genuine off-road ability
Cons Unsettled ride Awful refinement Comparatively expensive
Pros Feels like a proper off-road application of hybrid tech – and it works well off road Preserves the Renegade’s plucky charm. It’s good fun to drive at times
Cons Hybrid system doesn’t tame the Renegade’s rough-hewn temperament as a road car It also adversely affects carrying practicality, which was already in slightly mean supply
