Vauxhall Astra
Vauxhall Mokka
VS
The Opel Astra is the grown-up compact — practical, composed and roomy enough for weekend gear, while the Opel Mokka trades boot space for a higher driving position, sharper looks and crossover sass. Pick the Astra for better value, comfort and lower running costs; choose the Mokka if you crave style, city agility and the smug feeling of being five centimetres taller than the neighbours — with the usual compact-crossover compromises.
CUPRA Terramar
SEAT Ateca
VS
The CUPRA Terramar serves up sharp handling, punchy powertrains and a premium, slightly flashy cabin that feels like the hot hatch’s grown-up, wearing an SUV’s clothes. The SEAT Ateca is the sensible alternative — roomier, cheaper to run and refreshingly unpretentious — perfect for buyers who want reliable family transport without the show-off price tag.
