Model Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI Monte Carlo Edition | Monthly rental £288.65 | Initial payment £1731.90  | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

Sometimes it’s easy to overlook a great all-rounder like the Skoda Kamiq. Yes, the Ford Puma is better to drive and the Nissan Juke cuts more of a dash in the car park, but neither possesses the combination of abilities of the Skoda.

As with the VW T-Roc – and a host of other related models – we think the 1.0-litre engine is best, especially in the 113bhp guise highlighted here because it feels spritely under acceleration and relaxed at a cruise. It suits the comfy Kamiq well.

The racy Monte Carlo trim isn’t what we’d usually recommend because it’s usually more expensive. But this well-appointed model is actually cheaper on a lease deal, and provides an appealing package of kit, including 18in black alloy wheels, sports front seats, a panoramic sunroof and beam-shifting matrix LED headlights.

Model 1.6 E-Tech Techno | Monthly rental £297.26 | Initial payment £1,783.56 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

The Renault Symbioz is a family SUV very much in the mould of the Nissan Qashqai, but unlike that household name, the Symbioz is only available as a hybrid.

It doesn’t feel nearly as poky on the move as the Qashqai e-Power (Nissan’s take on the hybrid formula), but it is quiet and the smaller 18in wheels fitted to to Techno models should take some of the firm edge off higher-spec models, which are shod with 19in wheels.

All versions come with a great deal of kit as standard, and this entry-level Techno has adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control, a wireless phone-charger and a 10.4in infotainment touchscreen. That said, if you can get a good lease deal, then we recommend the Techno Esprit Alpine for its plusher interior and extra safety features.

Model Nissan Qashqai 1.3 DIG-T MHEV N-Connecta | Monthly rental £317.72
| Initial payment £1906.32 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

There are few models more synonymous with the family SUV than the Nissan Qashqai, and across three generations it remains popular, even if the Kia Sportage and Skoda Karoq are better all-rounders. But they’re also more expensive, especially when you factor in some keen lease deals.

The cheapest Qashqai lease deal is for our favourite model, too. The 1.3 DIG-T engine is frugal yet powerful enough for most needs, and the 18in alloy wheels which come as standard on the N-Connect – our pick of the trims – provide the best ride comfort.

Plenty of equipment is served up as standard on N-Connecta models, too. The highlights are park sensors plus a 360-degree camera which makes parking a doddle, plus front parking sensors, wireless charging, rear privacy glass and ambient interior lighting.

Model Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0 TSI Life DSG | Monthly rental £334.06 | Initial payment £2004.36 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

Volkswagen does small and family SUVs to a tee – in more ways than one, because the T-Cross sits alongside the sleeker Taigo and slightly larger T-Roc. Yet what it lacks in dimensions, it makes up for with usability, because its sliding rear seats are a boon.

Out on the road, the T-Cross strikes a great balance between comfort and driving fun – it’s better than the Citroën C3 Aircross and Kia Stonic for the former, but the Ford Puma is more exciting on a twisty road. Either of the 1.0 TSI engines are great, combining good fuel economy with nippy performance, but the 113bhp in this leasing deal gives a little extra for less money.

We prefer the mid-spec match trim over the entry-level Life model highlighted here, but even that ticks the buttons for the basics, which include 16in alloys, adaptive cruise control, air-conditioning and multi-colour interior lighting.

Model 1.6 T-GDi N Line Auto | Monthly rental £335.79 | Initial payment £2014.74 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

The Hyundai Tucson might live in the shadow of the Kia Sportage – one of Britain’s best-selling new cars –  but there’s plenty to like. Not least that the high price, one of our key criticisms, has been addressed with this lease deal.

On the move, it’s slightly softer than the more agile Sportage, but many buyers will appreciate the more relaxed gait. Performance is good in this 212bhp full hybrid version, which is able to travel for short bursts using electricity alone.

We like the entry-level Advance trim, but the extra features the N-Line brings allied to a great-value lease deal makes it very appealing. Key equipment includes 19in wheels and sporty exterior styling, faux leather and suede-like upholstery, adaptive cruise control, heated front seats and extra safety kit.

Model Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI ACT Sportline DSG | Monthly rental £347.54 | Initial payment £2085.24 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

More comfortable than a Seat Ateca, slightly smaller than the VW Tiguan, the Skoda Karoq fits very neatly between its two closely-related rivals. And according to our reviewers, it's better than both.

The 1.5 TSI petrol engine listed here is the pick of the bunch, because like the car as a whole, it does everything you could reasonably ask of it very well. Not only that, but it's economical, has a first-rate interior and it's very practical, too.

The Sportline trim is very well equipped, although the standard-fit panoramic roof does rob some head room. Highlights include sports suspension and steering, adaptive cruise control and 9.2in touchscreen infotainment.

Model Jaecoo 7 1.5 18.3kWh Luxury Auto | Monthly rental £357.02 | Initial payment £2142.12 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

Jaecoo is just one of an increasing number of car makers arriving in the UK from China, and the 7 is its first time. The Jaecoo 7 is a family SUV that’s loaded with tech. What the Jaecoo 7 isn’t, however, is discrete.

Behind that imposing front grille sits either a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or as highlighted in this deal, a 1.6-litre petrol engine. We think the PHEV is the better car, but even so, the ride is unsettled and the infotainment frustrates.

Both, however, are well equipped, with the top-spec Luxury trim highlighted here including a 14.8in portrait-mounted touchscreen, Sony audio system, head-up display and heated and ventilated front seats.

Model 1.5 TSI Black Edition | Monthly rental £372.29 | Initial payment £2233.74 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

Volkswagen sells a lot of different models in the UK, but only three currently have the coveted five-star What Car? rating. That means the trio, which includes the T-Roc, are good – or very good – in every area that matters.

In fact, the T-Roc is one of the most comfortable cars in the small SUV class and is refined and spacious. Its engines are punchy yet quiet, and the gearshift in this 1.5-litre model is smooth in operation, too. In short: it’s pretty effortless to drive.

The Black Edition, highlighted here, is a new trim in the T-Roc range which sits between the R-Line and high-performance T-Roc R model. As its name suggests, it features black styling elements – 18in alloys, trims, rear privacy glass, roof and mirrors – as well as Matrix LED headlights which shift their beam to provide excellent nighttime visibility without dazzling other drivers.

Model Nissan X-Trail 1.5 h e-POWER N-Connecta Auto e-4ORCE | Monthly rental £372.40 | Initial payment £2234.40 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

If you’re looking for a bargain lease SUV with additional seating, then the Nissan X-Trail could be the family SUV for you. It’s a spacious and comfortable five seater with the option of adding a couple of occasional seats in the boot. We’d stop short of calling it a seven seater because the third row is tight, but it’s perfectly fine for older children or adults for short trips.

The 1.5-litre e-Power model listed here is our pick of the range. The difference between this and many other hybrids is that the engine doesn't directly drive the wheels, rather it acts as a generator to power a battery. As such it drives like an electric car.

We think the Acenta Premium provides the best value, and comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible 8.2in touchscreen infotainment, 18in alloys, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging and parking aids.

Model Vauxhall Grandland 1.2 MHEV Ultimate e-DCT | Monthly rental £375.05 | Initial payment £2250.30 | Length of agreement 36 months | Annual mileage limit 10,000 miles

The Vauxhall Grandland is unquestionably the most eye-catching Vauxhall for many years, and as the previous generation did, it is pitched squarely at some very impressive competition. Leading these rivals is the Kia Sportage, which is not only our favourite family SUV, but we think it’s the best car on sale.

Tough competition, then, but the Grandland has some genuine strengths. There’s plenty of interior space (even if the Sportage has more still), and you’ll need to stretch to a Skoda Kodiaq to get more boot space. The interior is stylish and provides plenty of physical controls, too.

The 1.2-litre engine (the only one available) feels spritely and the ride quality is good. Usually the Design trim would get our nod, but the flagship Ultimate trim is very well equipped – and on current lease deals, cheaper.
