PROS Seriously sorted chassis Determined three-cylinder engine Excellent interior technology
CONS Cramped rear seats Getting expensive for a small SUV We don't get the ST
PROS Fast, terrific dynamics, extremely well-engineered.
CONS Ride can be a little uncompromising, sub-optimal fuel consumption if you use the performance.
Not only is the Ford Puma ST one of the most exciting SUVs we’ve ever driven, it’s also immensely practical, comes packed with equipment and undercuts all of its main rivals on price. In other words, the Puma ST is a classic performance car from Ford: fast, fun and fantastic value, making it our favourite Sports SUV.
PROS Immensely enjoyable to drive Surprisingly big boot Great driving position
CONS Occasionally bouncy low-speed ride Infotainment could be slicker A VW T-Roc is bigger in the back
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
