20. RENAULT KADJAR

THE Kadjar is based on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai, but detail improvements in the design result in a slightly bigger boot and even lower running costs.

That’s particularly the case if you choose the 1.5-litre diesel engine, which is not only smooth to drive but also delivers real-world economy of more than 55mpg.

If you want 4WD, you have to spec the punchy 1.6-litre diesel, though. Price range: £19,485-£29,615 Our pick: Dynamique Nav dci 130 (£25,965) Engine: 1.6-litre 4cyl diesel, 128bhp Transmission: 6-spd man, four-wheel drive Top speed: 118mph Economy: 58.9mpg CO2: 126g/km
