Our favourite engine adds a bit of extra versatility over the entry-level engine, dropping the 0-62mph time to 8.9 seconds. As standard, you get a manual gearbox which takes a bit of getting used to, but you can swap that for an automatic as an option with the top Max trim.

1.2 PureTech [130]

Hatchback

<p dir="ltr">Citroën is probably most famous for its quirky design, and the latest cars from the brand live up to this tradition. In fact, it&nbsp;tends to keep away from sportiness altogether and instead tries to put comfort first.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Value (but not cheapness) is also key to the appeal of most Citroëns. And the company’s range includes everything from a tiny EV (the Ami) through to the C3 small hatchback and&nbsp;the large van-based&nbsp;Spacetourer MPV.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Its range of SUVs are all badged Aircross, and like the rest of its range place emphasis on comfort, not speed.</p>


CITROEN

If you want all the bells and whistles, Max is the trim for you. It adds lots of extra goodies, including an upgraded eight-speaker stereo system, blind-spot monitoring, front parking sensors, keyless entry and start, and heated front seats.

Citroën C4

The Citroën C4 is very temptingly priced for a coupé SUV, while comfort and refinement also impress. On the minus side, you pay for its cushiness with roly-poly handling and there are more practical cars and SUVs available. Our recommended engine is the PureTech 130 petrol and mid-spec Plus is our favourite trim.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Running costs that won’t break the bank </li> <li>Generous kit</li> <li>Pokey engine and tidy handling</li> <li>Spacious interior</li> <li>Boot big enough to cope with family life</li></ul>

<p>The car-buying public has fallen in love with small SUVs, or crossovers as they’re often called, with thousands turning away from conventional hatchbacks in favour of something that rides that little bit higher.</p>
