  Suzuki Ignis

  4.0/5

  The Suzuki Ignis has been around for a while now, with the first iteration of the model appearing in 2016 and then a facelift in 2020, which is no longer available new, but remained on sale until 2025. Although now discontinued, it still makes a strong case for itself in the booming small crossover market. Key rivals include the Kia Picanto X-Line, Fiat Panda Cross, Hyundai i10, Toyota Aygo X and the Dacia Sandero Stepway, all of which offer compact dimensions and crossover-inspired styling in a similar mould to the Suzuki.

  Polestar 4

  3.9/5

  The Polestar 4 is easily one of the more interesting new electric cars to have launched in the past couple of years. Sitting between the existing 2 hatchback and equally new 3 SUV, the 4 positions itself as a coupe-SUV that rivals similarly upmarket models like the Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan Electric. The 4 is the firmest example yet of the Swedish performance brand's focus on building premium EVs that ooze Scandi style, quality and bold design. The car is most well-known for its lack of a rear window, instead relying on a camera system, but the 4 is more than just a statement piece.

  Hyundai Inster

  4.0/5

  Launched in 2024, the Hyundai Inster marks the Korean brand’s entry into the rapidly growing electric city car segment. Designed to appeal to urban drivers and young families alike, the Inster combines the practicality of a crossover with the efficiency and low running costs of a fully electric drivetrain. Compact yet surprisingly spacious, it aims to deliver advanced technology, modern styling, and accessible pricing to a broad range of buyers. It’s positioned below the Kona Electric in Hyundai’s line-up, and competes with other small electric cars such as the Fiat 500e and MINI Electric.

  Honda Civic

  4.1/5

  Not many family hatchbacks have a lineage dating all the way back to 1972 – but the Honda Civic has. Over those five decades the Civic has built up an enviable reputation for reliability, efficiency and engineering prowess. It may not always have been the most stylish or desirable hatchback around, but it has arguably been the most dependable.Now coming exclusively with Honda’s full-hybrid powertrain called e:HEV, it's positioned as a high quality alternative to the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, while also rubbing shoulders in the efficiency stakes with the excellent Toyota Corolla.

  Citroen Ami

  3.5/5

  It is very difficult to approach the Citroen Ami like any other car… because it isn’t really a car. Officially, it is classed as a light quadricycle (L6), which means it doesn’t have to play by the same homologation rules as other vehicles and as a result, it can make things tricky with insurance through the traditional channels. With a maximum range of around 47-miles and a top speed that can be beaten by some cyclists, it is limited to inner-city or urban mobility, where Ami shines. It’s very basic, but as something to nip around town in, it’s very difficult to fault, and you won’t be short of passers-by stopping to have a look around the fantastically basic interior.
