Mercedes GLC

3.9/5

Launched as a replacement to the GLK, the GLC is designed to bring increased comfort and style to the mid-sized family SUV segment. It has gone on to become one of Mercedes’ best-selling models worldwide and an absolute cornerstone of its segment. Now in its second generation, the latest GLC launched back in 2022 with the purpose of building on that success. Sitting on an all-new platform, it is packed with cutting-edge technology and a choice of powertrains, which make it more than a worthy rival for the likes of the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus RX.

SEAT Ibiza

3.9/5

The Ibiza name dates back some 40 years, and over that time the supermini has become a by-word for fun and style, and has been a hit amongst younger customers. It's a top choice with used car buyers, slotting nicely alongside cars like the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Hyundai i20. Part of the Ibiza's appeal to used car buyers is its mechanicals. In more recent times it’s been closely related to the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia, but has leant more on driver appeal and high equipment levels compared to its sisters. The current fifth-generation car has been on sale since 2017 but was updated in 2021 and 2025 to keep it feeling fresh against newer competition.

Vauxhall Grandland

3.5/5

When the original Grandland first appeared in Vauxhall showrooms back in 2017, it marked something of a turning point for the British brand. After years of trying to compete at the budget end of the market, the car set out to go head-to-head with the best vehicles on offer in the fiercely contested family SUV market. While that original car may not have quite been up to the task, the latest offering represents a major step forward. Launched in 2024, the second-generation car is built on Stellantis’ advanced STLA Medium platform, which is also utilised in the likes of the Peugeot 3008, 5008 and Jeep Compass. Here is everything you need to know about the new Grandland.

Dacia Sandero

3.7/5

Ever since first arriving in the UK back in the early 2010s, Dacia has been on a mission to prove that motoring needn’t be complicated. The Romanian brand has spent the years since challenging the stigma that seems to exist around cars with bargain-basement price tags, aiming to prove that cheap can indeed be cheerful. You could think of the outfit as the automotive equivalent of Lidl or Aldi and nowhere is this approach clearer than on its humble little hatchback – the Sandero. Now in its third generation, the current Sandero does add a number of more premium touches than previous models but its ethos of keeping things simple and affordable remains at the heart of everything the car does.

Volkswagen T-Roc

4.2/5

SUVs have dominated the UK’s automotive space for more than a decade now and for years, the compact SUV space was firmly led by the likes of the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Puma. In response to the situation, Volkswagen launched the T-Roc back in 2017 and the model has now gone on to be one of the brand’s very best-selling cars. Last year (2025), VW unveiled its all-new, second-generation T-Roc, offering more size, better tech and a slightly more premium approach than before. Order books opened at the start of 2026 but at a time when the SUV segment has never been more crowded, does the T-Roc still represent a sensible choice?

MINI Aceman

3.8/5

The Mini Aceman may fit the relatively small gap between the Cooper and the Countryman, but it's a big car for the brand. When it arrived in 2024 it took over from the strong-selling Clubman estate, but more importantly it was the first Mini to be designed exclusively as an electric car from the outset. While the Clubman was an estate car based on the Cooper hatchback, the Aceman follows the more fashionable SUV trend. It's a small SUV and rivals models like the Ford Puma Gen-E, Alfa Romeo Junior and Volvo EX30.
