The Suzuki Ignis bears a familiar name but, if you think this new model shares the boring Euro-box design of the old cars, think again.
Pros Striking looks Decent passenger space Hybrid version for the environmentally conscious
Cons Limited engine choice Some rivals ride better Infotainment system isn’t class-leading
Pros Funky and chunky styling Colourful personalisation options Peppy little engine
Cons No active safety systems available Not really an SUV Ride can be a little crashy
Pros Looks superb, doesn’t use much fuel, low prices, chirpy character.
Cons The ride’s pretty unsophisticated… and that’s about it
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
