Since its arrival on our roads, the Volvo XC40 has built a solid reputation for its driving pleasure, its level of comfort, but also for its practicality. What's more, it's even available with a purely electric powertrain.

The CR-V has also followed the Civic in the price department. The CR-V is no longer a very affordable vehicle in 2023. But that doesn't stop the magazine's reviewers from placing it at the top of the compact SUVs.

Mostly known for its very sporty driving dynamics, the Macan is no longer a youth. In fact, the model entered the market in 2015. Sure, there have been revisions over the seasons, but the vehicle hasn't changed much in nearly a decade, a testament to the quality of the Stuttgart-based compact SUV.
