What's the best small automatic 4x4?
I want a small 4x4 automatic with height to give me a good view like my old 2006 RAV4. What do you recommend?

We'd recommend a Toyota Yaris Cross. It's an excellent small hybrid SUV with a relatively high seating position. It's available with 4x4, too. Also look at the Volkswagen T-Roc.

I’m a 75 year old lady who wants a new small suv to replace my 10 year old Nissan Juke. I'm after something similar in size, preferably petrol, comfortable and not to sporty.

Comfortable and refined on the move. Available with lots of personalisation options. Improved interior from 2022. Wide range of engines including excellent entry-level 1.0-litre TSI.

Easy and fun to drive. Hybrid power means it'll be cheap to run. Generous equipment levels.
