The small hatchback has come of age. I feel like it’s grown up from being that car you got when you went to uni, and has graduated to the car you get even when you have a family.

Even if you’ve never thought about going off-road and you’re not really a camping kind of person, a few weeks driving this car will have you planning road trips through rivers and along rocky coastlines and sandy beaches.

The Toyota LandCruiser Prado is a good car to drive, but I was a bit confused by the purpose. If you just want a seven-seat SUV, there are other, more conveniently sized cars to drive around.

The Peugeot 5008 Allure is a really easy family car to drive.

The Nissan Qashqai is a small SUV in competition with other cars like the Honda H-RV and Mazda CX-3.
