Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 takes the small-yet-practical GLB and adds much more power and four-wheel drive. Just don’t go thinking passengers in the back will enjoy any full-bore starts.

Pros
Stylish looks
High-class cabin
Impressively quick

Cons
Less fun than a hot-hatch
Cramped third row of seats
Alternatives have bigger boots

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Gives customers more options to choose from
Won’t lack in power relative to the competition around it
Equipped with the latest Mercedes technology

Cons
I personally like the GLA better
A three-row, seven-seater compact crossover could create problems of its own
Might be more expensive than expected

A bit phoned-in from Audi. It's fine, but the only USP is that badge.

Pros
Bold styling (for Audi),
should be a doddle to live with.

Cons
Few benefits over an A3,
on big wheels the ride is atrocious.

The Audi Q2 is a desirable and fine-driving small SUV with an impressive interior. It also has one of the best infotainment systems in the class. Yes, there are cheaper alternatives, but Audi's smallest SUV justifies its cost will its superb all-round ability.

Pros
Classy and user-friendly interior
Tidy handling
Slow depreciation

Cons
More expensive than some rivals
Mini Countryman is more practical
Firm ride with 19in alloys

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Dependable handling
First-rate packaging
Lower Q-range price point

Cons
Anodyne identity
Slightly breathless petrol engine
Higher trim level expense
