Plus a strong showing in our annual Driver Power surveys proves it’s good to own, too. Just as crucially, the Mazda CX-5 looks smart, while build quality is more than a match for premium rivals. Last year’s winner is still a top choice thanks to efficient and punchy SkyActiv engines, sharp handling and a roomy cabin. Better still, it’s as cheap to run as it is to buy. Few cars at any price attract as much attention, while the relaxed driving experience takes the stress out of any journey. With its bold looks, innovative interior and great-value prices, the lightweight Citroen C4 Cactus has turned the compact crossover sector on its head. The smooth 1.5-litre dCi stands out with eager performance and tax-busting 99g/km CO2 figure. The Qashqai's Acenta Premium trim brings plenty of kit, including valuable Safety Shield tech. The icing on the cake is a line-up of punchy and frugal engines, plus the option of four-wheel drive, too. Happily, this comfort doesn’t come at the expense of entertainment behind the wheel, because the Qashqai always feels composed and agile. Better still, it rides well, too, soaking up bumps and potholes that would send a shudder through some low-riding hatches. Nissan has worked hard to boost refinement, meaning the newcomer rivals cars from the class above for hushed refinement. However, it’s the Qashqai’s grown-up driving dynamics that seal its place at the top of the crossover tree. That means buyers can get all sorts of confidence-inspiring extras, including blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition and even an all LED headlamp set-up. There’s lots of handy storage, while the generously proportioned 430-litre boot has a clever load divider that provides 16 different load-carrying combinations.Īnd like the rest of the Nissan line-up, the Qasqhai benefits from the firm’s Safety Shield tech. Not that it’s forgotten its roots as a versatile family car, because the plushly appointed and robustly built cabin is roomier than ever, and packed with plenty of thoughtful touches. Yet it’s the all-new second-generation model’s excellent refinement, quality and comfort that elevates it to the top of the class. With its rugged looks, practical cabin and low running costs, the British-built Nissan has always been a bold alternative to run-of-the-mill family hatches.

Mazdaspeed is Mazda's in-house race and street car tuning arm and is highly involved in both amateur and professional motorsports. Previous sports models of Mazda's regular vehicles go by the Mazdaspeed name. Most are noted in the pages of individual vehicles. Many Mazda vehicles have been rebadged and sold with the Ford brand during the alliance of both companies. In the early 1990s Mazda almost created a luxury marque, Amati, to challenge Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus in North America, but this never happened, leaving the near-luxury Millenia to the Mazda brand. Mazda had used a number of different marques in the Japan market, including Autozam, Eunos, and Efini, although they have been phased out.
