A unique turbocharged five-cylinder engine with nearly 400 horses makes the redesigned-for-2020 RS Q3 an exotic performance SUV that we can't buy.
Pros Gutsy power delivery, quirky five-cylinder sound, impressively neutral handling for an SUV.
Cons The U.S. still can't have it, AMG and Porsche both offer more power in their competitors.
The RS Q3 might be exceedingly fast in a straight line, but it just isn’t that much fun. Numb steering and a tendency to wash wide at the front count against it, while many will find its ride a bit too firm for their liking. For this money, the Porsche Macan S feels plusher and is more enjoyable to drive, even if it isn’t as fast.
Pros Fast Well-equipped Sounds good
Cons Stiff ride Not that much fun Interior doesn’t feel that luxurious for a £50k SUV
The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent small SUV with a spacious cabin and plenty of high-tech features that’s dead easy to drive and impressively comfortable.
Pros Comfortable to drive Very roomy back seats Plenty of standard equipment
Cons Alternatives have bigger boots… …And are more exciting to drive Desirable infotainment costs extra
Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting.
Pros Vast space, very comfortable if you avoid the needless ‘ sports’ chassis
Cons It’s just so derivative, in a way the old Skoda Yeti wasn't
The Skoda Kamiq is everything good about Skoda wrapped up in a desirable small SUV package.
Pros Spacious Huge boot Plenty of tech
Cons Lacks individuality Not as desirable as a Volkswagen Powerful petrol engine not yet available
