A well-equipped, reasonably comfortable and practical large SUV. Its pricing is a little too close to that of established rivals, though, and interior quality is questionable against the likes of our preferred choice in this class, the Audi Q5.

If you splash out for the Opera, you get 20in alloy wheels, Napa leather with ventilated front seats, wireless phone-charging, adaptive cruise control with active lane-keep assistance and an electric tailgate.

​​This plug-in hybrid combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with two electric motors to give 297bhp and four-wheel drive. It’s certainly punchy, but it proves unrefined and is expensive.
