Honda Jazz
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Small and sensible, the Honda Jazz is a masterclass in clever packaging — airy rear seats, Magic Seat flexibility and effortless economy make it the practical everyman’s champion, even if it lacks SUV swagger. The Toyota Yaris Cross, by contrast, trades some of that interior generosity for a taller stance, sharper looks, and available AWD and safety tech, so choose it if you want crossover chic and confidence on rougher roads rather than maximum boot space.
Renault R5
Volvo EX30
VS
The Renault 5 brings playful retro charm and clever city-sized packaging, while the Volvo EX30 feels like a pocket rocket from the future with serious EV range and safety tech. If you want personality and urban thrift go R5, but if you crave rapid electric shove, cutting-edge gadgets and peace-of-mind crashworthiness, the EX30 is the smarter, faster pick.

Honda Jazz

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 manoeuvrability, packaging genius and lower bills — either way, you get Honda reliability with two very different personalities.
