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
The Mercedes-Benz GLA merges hatchback size with crossover functionality and luxury appointments, with better-than-average results.
Pros Zippy to drive Nimble handling Practical hatchback shape AMG GLA45 is downright sporty
Cons Cramped rear seats Interior doesn't impress So-so visibility AMG gets expensive with a quickness
We think that the 2020 model year will be the last for the current-generation GLA before a new model arrives for 2021. As such, Mercedes-Benz did not make any changes for the 2020 model year.
Pros Responsive handling, lots of available features, interesting design.
Cons Cramped interior, uncomfortable ride, not as luxurious as a Benz should be.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class comes with all wheel drive, and front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual.The AMG GLA 45 has been discontinued.
Pros One of the most entertaining crossovers in the class Respectable fuel economy considering its performance High clearance and optional all-wheel drive lend some all-weather capability Long list of available tech and safety features
Cons Firm ride quality can grow tiresome on rough roads Automatic transmission operates sluggishly in stop-and-go situations Not much legroom, headroom or cargo room Road and wind noise could be better tamped down
