Think of the HR-V as the SUVs' extrovert — taller stance, more boot space and a confident road presence — while the Jazz is the clever, city‑savvy hatch that hides a brilliant, flexible cabin and frugal running costs. Choose the HR-V if you need space and SUV style; pick the Jazz if you value …

It seems to me that the Jazz hybrid works with more refinement than the Yaris hybrid.

The Honda and Kia are both fine, but in the old city where we live the shorter length makes a difference when finding a parking space. Also, the Honda's technology without a CVT is more advanced. The Honda is cheaper in road tax.

The Honda has been facelifted just like the Toyota; in terms of powertrains the 1.5 VTEC four-cylinder in the Honda is flawless, versus a more recent 1.5 three-cylinder in the Toyota that looks promising, but in terms of dealerships there are more for Toyota...

The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.

Mercedes EQA

The Mercedes EQA slips into the electric crossover ranks with the brand’s familiar luxury polish, offering a quiet, fuss-free drive that feels perfectly at home in the city or on a country escape. Inside it’s neatly finished and tech-forward, projecting grown-up refinement even if it plays things a bit safe for anyone chasing outright excitement.

Fantastic build quality and genuine premium-class feel with lots of features like distance sensors or the speed-limit sign reader — things Mercedes still brags about in the GLC even five years later...
