It might smack of a slight lack of imagination, but the people have spoken. In 2015, the Sportage accounted for more than a quarter of Kia"s European sales. This new one promises more, with fresh engines, a more spacious, sophisticated interior and an, erm, bold" new look. Yes, it"s the angriest tiger nose" yet. Despite the scary face, it"s doing pretty well, setting UK sales charts alight since its launch. Bad news for the old guard.That Nissan Qashqai is the obvious choice, if you"re convinced a conventional hatchback simply will not do. Or maybe you live down a rutted track and like the idea of having a bit more air between your derri re and planet Earth. It"s a best seller, and for good reason. But tricky to spell.Photography: Rowan Horncastle
