  MINI Countryman

  3.8/5

  As the biggest car in the Mini lineup, the Countryman has always been something of a niche proposition. The car aims to bring all the charms of a traditional Mini with the functionality of its SUV rivals. In order to cater to a wider audience, the latest car is available in a range of petrol, hybrid, and fully-electric powertrains. For some, this may represent a step too far away from the brand’s small and humble roots, but there is no denying that the extra space certainly makes sense for buyers who want to buy into the Mini heritage, while also enjoying the benefits that come with SUVs.

  Toyota Corolla

  4.0/5

  The Toyota Corolla has been one of the world’s best-selling cars for over 60 years, earning a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and practicality throughout 12 generations. The latest model is as reliable and efficient as ever, and remains a competent alternative to models such as the VW Golf, Honda Civic and Vauxhall Astra. A further bonus is Toyota’s 10-year warranty offer, though this is above the standard warranty and is dependent on dealer servicing.

  Dacia Spring

  3.8/5

  The Dacia Spring arguably delivers what many corners of the internet (and some customers) have been passionately demanding for years: a small, low‑cost, fuss‑free electric vehicle that weighs largely the same as its petrol‑powered equivalents. The Spring is about as basic as cars get these days, with a refreshing (for some, anyway) lack of driving modes and intrusive infotainment systems, but enough range to tackle short commutes and trips to the shop.

  Kia EV9

  4.1/5

  Kia beat some of the recognised names in the automotive business to become one of the first to launch a large, seven‑seat electric SUV. The EV9 is also one of the most expensive cars from Kia with versions that offer seating for up to seven people, while the comfort, refinement and levels of technology onboard are up there with more established luxury manufacturers. With up to 349 miles of WLTP range and ultra‑rapid charging capability, the EV9 is a solid choice as an all-electric full-size electric SUV.
