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
The C5 Aircross is Citroen's (late) leap onto the family-crossover bandwagon.
Pros Very comfortable in all sorts of ways. Looks different. No sporty pretence
Cons No sporty actuality. Ride not as consistent as billed. Occasionally irritating screen system
The Citroen C5 Aircross packs plenty of space and lots of tech into a stylish and comfortable package, but the infotainment systems in alternatives are easier to use.
Pros Eye-catching looks Big boot Comfortable to drive
Cons Some low-rent interior bits Awkward infotainment system No four-wheel-drive option
