COMPACT SUVS

Small, but perfectly formed. These cars are a perfect second motor or teeny family wagon

1. PEUGEOT e-2008

PRICE: £33,265–£38,415 RANGE: Up to 206 miles

Wait, when did Peugeots become so desirable again? The e-2008 is surprisingly fun to drive and offers a chic interior with lots of nifty touches.

2. HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC

PRICE: £28,950–£37,200 RANGE: Up to 300 miles

The Kona is highly specced, offers a solid slug of range and looks pretty sharp too. Good value, good range and good looking. What’s not to like?

3. VOLVO XC40 RECHARGE

PRICE: £43,550–£57,350 RANGE: Up to 264 miles

‘Normal’ XC40 is a peach, and electric version adds Polestar 2 powertrain to great effect. Expensive, but you won’t have to explain to everyone what it is.

4. VAUXHALL MOKKA-e

PRICE: £29,365–£30,495 RANGE: 201 miles

We’re not exactly sure how to feel about finding a Vauxhall stylish, must be the pandemic strain. New Mokka-e gets PSA undercrackers, so it’s decent too.
