Vauxhall Frontera
Vauxhall Grandland
VS
The Frontera feels like a bruiser from the analogue era — raw, rugged and surprisingly capable off-road, ideal if you crave adventure and don't mind a bit of mechanical charm. The Grandland, by contrast, is a slick, family-friendly crossover loaded with modern tech, efficient engines and a comfortable ride, so pick it if daily refinement and practicality top your list.

In the compact EV SUV showdown, the Audi Q4 e‑tron leans into classy understatement with a roomier, more refined interior and a smoother, long-distance friendly ride. The BMW iX1, meanwhile, trades some comfort for sportier handling and a livelier, driver-focused feel—pick the Q4 for comfort and polish, the iX1 if you want more fun behind the wheel.
