ROAD TEST RIVALS

PORSCHE MACAN TURBO PERFORMANCE PACK

No longer officially on sale, but a great-handling benchmark for usability.

ALFA ROMEO STELVIO QUADRIFOGLIO £69,500

Dripping with character and exquisitely posied for an SUV, but the interior falls short.

BMW X3 M40i £52,865

Less powerful than the Alfa and Porsche but also less expensive. A more relaxed quick SUV.

MERCEDES-AMG GLC63 £69,690

Humdinger of an engine is unmatched for drama in this class, but the GLC lacks the ride quality of its rivals.

AUDI SQ5 £51,995

Lacks any real driver involvement, but hugely versatile and arguably the best for long, wet journeys.
