If you avoid the pricier trims and engines, the T-Roc is a fine buy. Its hushed refinement makes it one of the most comfortable cars in the class, while its spacious interior and big boot will appeal to families. Also, its high driving position is something SUV buyers crave – and some small SUVs fail to deliver.

The second step on the T-Roc trim ladder is Style. It gets everything the entry-level version comes with but adds larger 17in alloy wheels, automatic headlights with adaptive high beam, a larger 10.25in digital driver display, upgraded seats and a larger 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system with added built-in sat-nav.

If the entry-level diesel’s 113bhp isn’t quite enough for you, this upgraded version comes with 148bhp and is even keener from low speeds. Official figures say that it’ll sprint from 0-62mph in 8.8sec and the additional torque means you’ll be able to tow things even easier. You can choose to have this engine with either a manual or DSG automatic gearbox, but opting for the auto box reduces the official mpg to 58mpg.
