    Best SUV under $25k?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 2 February 2017

    The Trax is good value for money and stacks up well against all comers in the class. The 1.4 turbo is the best engine, and it has a conventional auto instead of a CVT that most of its rivals have. Others to look at are the Suzuki S-Cross, Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru XV.

    XV or Golf?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 22 May 2016

    My choice would definitely be the Golf, for comfort and the range and economy on the highway. The XV is all right but not great, with a tiny boot, so the VW gets The Tick.

    Qashqai or XV for a small family?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 28 March 2016

    It’s a tough call, the Qashqai gets the nod on price and for having a diesel engine option and better luggage capacity, the XV is all-wheel drive, but there’s no diesel. The Nissan by a nose.

    Replacing a Liberty with a similar SUV?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 8 February 2016

    The XV will be fine around town but is very small in the boot, and the same goes for the CX-3. If you want a similar cabin and boot space to the Liberty then go for the CX-5, but also have a look at the new Kia Sportage.
