The Nissan Qashqai has never been a car that follows the crowd. It helped kick-start the family SUV trend by blending useful features with stand-out design, and the latest model continues the trend, albeit at a cost. Could a deal on a nearly-new version be the answer?
On the subject of style statements, it's hard to ignore the fantastic new Renault 5 and its ability to blend future and past in a seamless way. Pre-enjoyed versions of the new 5 are starting to appear, saving cash while turning heads.
And, with a new Volkswagen T-Roc on the way, we've been hunting for deals on the outgoing car, with high-spec low mileage versions available at prices that make the T-Roc a great value shout. As with the cars above, the car we've chosen is available from a main dealer and you can pay cash or with a competitive PCP deal.
The Nissan Qashqai gave 'family car' a whole new definition, and has been selling extremely well ever since. The latest version is no exception, as it blends family-friendly features like fold-flat rear seats and wide rear door openings with a striking design.
New prices of the latest Qashqai have crept up, which makes a nearly-new version more tempting. This essentially new Qashqai N-Connecta has 10 miles on the clock and would cost over £33,000 new.
The new Renault 5 is no simple rehash of an old model name for the electric era. Its design is the perfect balance of modern and retro, while nicely judged ride and handling mean there's plenty of substance behind the looks.
The 5 hasn't been on sale long, but lightly used versions are starting to appear. This entry-level Techno trim car has the longer-range battery and higher-power motor, and is offered by a Renault dealer.
The Volkswagen T-Roc is the Golf of small family SUVs. Safe, comfortable and cheap to run, it costs more to buy than a Ford Puma, but should be money well spent in the longer term.
An all-new T-Roc arrives next year, which prompted a look a deals on the existing model. This post-facelift one-owner 2022 car is in high-level R-Line trim and comes with a DSG gearbox. It's available from a main VW dealer and has only just ticked over 10,000 miles.
