THE FAMILY SUV RIVALS THE NEW QASHQAI HAS TO BEAT

Kia Sportage Price from £28,719

Our reigning family SUV champion presents the updated Qashqai its biggest challenge.the Sportage is comfortable, spacious and classy inside. It’s likely to continue to undercut the updated Qashqai on price, too. What Car? says

Mini Countryman Price from £29,350

Slightly cheaper than the Qashqai to buy, and as practical and exible inside as a good family SUV should be. However, its infotainment system is too ddly and the driving position isn’t as comfy as the Qashqai’s. What Car? says

Skoda Karoq Price from £28,380

Recently updated Karoq sets the standard for practicality; it’s even more spacious than the Qashqai and has a bigger boot.an absence of hybrid or plug-in options weaken its green credentials, though. What Car? says

Volkswagen Tiguan Price from £34,085

Another family SUV with loads of room for passengers and their luggage, and one that’s good to drive, with a (mostly) comfy ride. It’s pricier than the Qashqai, though, and its climate controls are ddlier to use. What Car? says

Volvo XC40 Price from £36,720

This former What Car? Car of the Year is still a great all-rounder, but it’s the most expensive car here and isn’t available as a hybrid. Rangetopping versions of the Qashqai challenge it for interior quality. What Car? says
