Renault Captur 2020 good-looking, refined and comfy.
Pros Higher-quality feel than the old Captur. Actually rather handsome, and plenty roomy enough.
Cons Laggy, fiddly infotainment. Too much wind noise
The Renault Captur is one of the crossovers to beat, thanks to low running costs and plenty of style.
Pros Easy to drive Sliding rear bench Good value
Cons Untested reliability Imprecise gearbox Digital dials cost extra
The Renault Captur looks great, has a spacious, high-quality cabin and a big boot. Its infotainment can frustrate, though, and there are more comfortable small SUVs around town.

The Ford Ka+ Active takes a fun and affordable small car and gives it a neat SUV makeover, but loses some of its fun and affordability in the process.

Cons Not terrific value Petrol engine a little rough Hard to get comfortable driving position
Pros Decent to drive Good value at lower end of the range Reasonably roomy for passengers
Cons Unappealing interior Small boot Gutless engines
Pros Sensibly priced, surprisingly spacious, not at all awful to drive
Cons None of the vim of the original car, none of the vim of a Fiat 500, none of the vim of a Mini
