Mercedes-AMG G 63
A 577bhp 5.0-litre V8 engine is what powers this range-topping version of the Mercedes G-Class. It's powerful and sounds glorious, while the G-Class remains exceptional off-road.

Nissan e-NV200 Combi
Electric MPV offers seating for up to seven and has an official range of up to 187 miles. Like most electric cars, it can get you up to speed pleasantly quickly.
Peugeot 508
The 508 makes plenty of sense as a company car and scores well for safety, but rivals are better to drive and are more practical.

Porsche Cayenne
The Cayenne offers a range of powerful engines, but is also seriously practical for families, with flexible rear seats. The standard kit list is pretty stingy, though.

Renault Megane RS
The Megane RS might not be the fastest hot hatchback in the world, but it is great fun to drive and cheaper to buy than most rivals.
