Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake
Likes: Quite frankly the most stylish of the CLA-Range. It slightly more space than the A-class hatchback and GLA.
Dislikes: Overly firm ride can be an annoyance. The sole diesel engine isn't very refined, interior quality is more 'meh' than 'posh' for the price tag. Did we mention that it's not cheap either?
Overall: Young professionals who are style conscious will love this.
Suzuki Baleno
Likes: It's quite handsome for a Suzuki. It's spacious for its size and offers plenty of standard kit for the money also. It has running costs that are class competitive.
Dislikes: The interior has so-so build quality. The 1.2 mild-hybrid is sluggish and costs more than the all-round better 1-liter turbo petrol engine.
Overall: Discounts and high-standard kit is what makes this Suzuki appealing.
Mitsubishi Shogun Sport
Likes: It comes standard with three-rows of seats. It has a rugged go-anywhere charm to the driving experience and it can handle the rougher terrains as well.
Dislikes: Why isn't this sold in the US? The sole diesel engine isn't all that refined. Running costs are quite steep too.
Overall: It's a workhorse and a damn good one too.
Volkswagen Touareg
Likes: Quite frankly the most stylish Touareg ever. The interior quality feels much improved and has a futuristic look to it. The six-cylinder diesel engine we sampled is smooth and punchy.
Dislikes: Overly complicated infotainment system. It's expensive and competes with the more talented Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Read the second dislike again to understand why we can't have it.
Overall: It's the best Touareg ever and it's Euro-only.
Hyuandi i30
Likes: It's charming in terms of warranty, standard kit and overall style appeal.
Dislikes: The diesel engine lacks the flexibility and refinement. It doesn't really feel exciting to drive despite the looks.
Overall: A charming hatchback that isn't as charming to drive.
