The Nissan Townstar looks to the future of the small van sector with a raft of tech features, and no diesel

With its striking good looks, the Peugeot 308 is a desirable five-door hatchback, but it sacrifices practicality and isn’t great to drive

The BMW X1 is a small premium SUV that offers plenty of interior space, excellent on-board technology and strong, efficient engines

The Mazda 2 brings sharp looks, decent running costs and a fun drive to the supermini class

The new Lexus RX is more efficient than ever, with much improved technology on board, but it comes up short in terms of practicality

With updated onboard tech and hybrid power, the Jaguar F-Pace is still a front runner in the upmarket SUV class

The SEAT Leon offers the tech and driving experience of the VW Golf, but for a lower price

The MG3 is a simple supermini with an attractively low starting price

The MINI Convertible is our favourite small rag-top thanks to its practicality, fun and premium feel

Delivering supreme comfort, good practicality and a premium feel, the DS 4 hatchback is an interesting alternative to class-leading rivals

The Audi Q7 luxury SUV is practical and packed with hi-tech features, while it's still capable enough of mixing it with premium rivals

The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports is probably the best estate car of its size on the market, with recent improvements helping to boost its appeal

The VW Passat Estate is a refined, comfortable and hugely versatile family car

The Ford Focus ST is neither the fastest nor the cheapest hot hatch, but it’s up there with the very best

The retro-styled Honda e provides a cool, classy take on the small electric car, although it's expensive to buy

The BMW X4 offers a little extra style over its X3 sibling, but it's more expensive and sacrifices practicality

The MINI Clubman is a fun, small estate that's well-built and powered by a great range of engines – but it's not that practical

The handsome Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a sporty SUV that's good to drive, but it's expensive to buy and run compared to some rivals

The new Mercedes Citan is a solid all rounder, available with diesel and electric power

Hyundai’s first attempt at a hot hatchback is close to being a class-leading one, despite well-established competition

Toyota’s tiny pseudo-SUV might be a charming city car, but it costs as much as cars in the class above

The Ford Focus is a great-handling family hatchback that matches its rivals on interior quality and cabin space

All 911s have impressive performance, but different engines respond in different ways

Stringent emissions regulations continue to put the squeeze on Porsche’s engines, but that does yield improved efficiency

The 911’s rear-engined layout yields more practicality due to small back seats and a decent front boot

Honed engine, chassis and interior tech – plus reputation for longevity on the race track – mean the 911 should be reliable

More digital functionality gives the new 911 a cleaner, less cluttered feel, while there’s more tech on offer too
