  Mercedes EQA

  4.0/5

  The Mercedes-Benz EQA combines all of the German brand’s electric know-how in a compact SUV-crossover body-style. It offers a very decent electric driving range, therefore making it a great choice for those considering their first electric car, but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the luxury that a Mercedes is known for. So, it has a tech-laden interior, high levels of style and build quality, whilst remaining comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

  Mercedes CLE

  4.1/5

  Introduced back in 2023, the Mercedes CLE arrived with the pressure of replacing both the C-Class and E-Class Coupés in one swoop. The challenge of bringing together two of the German brand's most stylish and loved two-door offerings was no mean feat but in the CLE, Mercedes may well have achieved just that. With rivals such as the Audi A5, Lexus RC and brilliant BMW 4 Series, the CLE is up against some stiff competition but it more than holds its own with its unique combination of style, comfort and old-school luxury.

  Mercedes AMG GT

  4.0/5

  The AMG GT does a good job of flying under the radar – at least in some respects. While not as extroverted as models such as Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage, which are perhaps its closest rivals, it manages to deliver a unique combination of thunderous V8 power, striking design, and everyday usability – with a choice of sports car or four-door GT bodywork, the former being more out-there than the latter, which is much more subtle way of packing up to 800bhp. Not for everyone, of course, but certainly not a car you’ll forget having driven.

  Mazda CX30

  4.0/5

  In the crowded compact crossover segment it can be incredibly difficult to stand out. With competition from the likes of the Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Roc and Toyota C-HR, many carmakers have decided to chase bold styling or headline-grabbing electrification in a bid to get noticed. Mazda however, sees things a little differently. The Japanese brand has decided that gimmicks are not for them and has instead chosen to carve out a niche at the top end of the market. The resulting car – the CX-30 – was launched back in 2019 and the years since have seen the model develop a strong reputation as one of the best-finished, most premium-feeling cars in its class.

  Kia Stonic

  3.5/5

  Over recent years, the competition among high-riding compact SUVs has really heated up thanks to the success of the likes of the Ford Puma, Renault Captur and Nissan Juke. In such a crowded marketplace, it can be difficult for carmakers to muscle their way into people’s thinking. However, since launching the Stonic back in 2017, that is exactly what Kia has managed to do. The car is firmly aimed at the family market and spurns the sporty handling seen on many of its rivals in favour of a more sensible and stress-free approach to driving.

  Kia Soul

  4.0/5

  Kia was one of the first manufacturers to bring an affordable EV to market with the first Soul back in 2016. With a competitive range, generous standard equipment, and a relaxing driving experience, the Soul EV is efficient but also a bit different. Among the Soul EV’s main rivals are other small electric SUVs and hatchbacks, such as the Peugeot e-2008, Vauxhall Mokka Electric, and Hyundai Kona Electric. While some rivals offer larger boots or slightly more up-to-date interiors, the Soul EV distinguishes itself with its quirky styling and strong equipment levels, making it a solid contender despite the growing competition.
