The Sandero was introduced to the UK after years of success on the Continent. It’s built – by Renault-owned Dacia in Romania – on a simple premise: to offer the most car for the least money. It fulfils the brief like a sledgehammer cracking a nut, with incredibly low prices, minimal pretence, plentiful space and a carefree no-fuss attitude that isn’t bothered what anyone thinks.

The Fiat Doblo, like other van-based MPVs, offers the ability carry lots of people or stuff for a relatively modest price. There are drawbacks to this cheap and cheerful approach, chiefly around the way the Doblo looks and levels of interior quality that don’t match those of purpose-built passenger cars but the Doblo hides its commercial vehicle roots better than most of it rivals.

The Fiat Panda is part of an illustrious bloodline of small cars that Fiat has had for sale over the decades. While the current car arrived in 2011, so it's one of the older cars for sale in the city car sector, it still has appeal courtesy of its quirky shape, as well as the option of Panda 4x4 and Panda Cross SUV-style versions.

The Fiat Talento is a relatively new name for Fiat Professional's van for sale in the medium-sized sector. However, while the name won't be familiar, the van itself will be. Basically it’s a rebadged version of the Renault Trafic, but it's none the worse for that. Talento isn't an all-new name, either, as some may remember it being used on a short wheelbase version of the Fiat Ducato in the 1980s.

The Fiat Tipo is a well-rounded budget hatch. It offers more than enough practicality for most situations, while the strong engine and comfortable chassis make it an acceptable family five-door to live with. However, it’s the Fiat’s thrifty running costs that seal the deal.

The Ford Kuga Titanium X sits between the standard Kuga Titanium and Titanium X Sport models at the upper end of the Kuga compact SUV line-up. The Titanium X features a range of extras over the Titanium model, focusing largely on the interior and kit list.

Stronger, lighter, improved and better equipped. Honda CRF300, in L and Rally versions, have been largely renewed and continue to worthily represent a category adored in Greece, with unfortunately few representatives nowadays.

The Hyundai i10 has been a huge sales success for the manufacturer since it was introduced back in 2008, and it’s popularity soared during the Government’s Scrappage Scheme. It’s effectively a budget alternative to more stylish city cars like the Fiat 500 and Volkswagen up!, but there’s more to the i10 than a great-value price tag. In fact, the i10’s combination of ultra-low running costs, decent handling and an excellent five-year warranty ensure it’s still one of the best-selling cars in the UK today.

The Hyundai i20 is a great value alternative to established supermini rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and Peugeot 208. Available in both three and five-door guises, the i20 is very well equipped, cost effective to run and backed by an industry-leading five year warranty and breakdown recovery package.

Nissan's return to the Focus-sized family hatchback segment in 2016 saw this Pulsar model offer a range of sensible virtues to take on the established class leaders. You don't get the fashionable flair here the brand reserves for its trendy crossover models, but buyers are treated to much of the hi-tech cleverness and engineering that makes those cars so good, all wrapped up in a package offering value and practicality that's difficult to beat.

The Suzuki Baleno first launched in Australia three years ago, and unfortunately for the Japanese brand it hasn't quite been the sales hit that its Swift stablemate has been. In the ever-competitive light car segment, the Baleno is up against big (little) players like the Honda Jazz, Kia Rio, Mazda 2, Toyota Yaris, the Volkswagen Polo, and of course its aforementioned Swift sibling.

The Suzuki Celerio is the smallest car that Suzuki has on sale. It's a city car, but it's slightly larger than many of its rivals, so offers a bit more practicality than the city car norm.

After sprucing up the Suzuki Ignis with mild hybrid technology in its naturally aspirated 1.2-litre engine that burns under 6.0lt/100km, now the addition of the new CVT automatic transmission is the latest in a steady stream of improvements to an increasingly small city car. better.

The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross plays ball on the crossover court but also turns a blind eye to the small and medium-sized neighborhood, as Suzuki has no representative in the ‘C’ segment. Spacious, well equipped and practical, it can easily play the role of family but it does not stop there. In the version with the 1.4 Boosterjet and the four-wheel drive AllGrip, it acquires more mood for adventure and performance that would be envied even by a hatchback with a sporty character.

The Volkswagen Polo Mk5 is the fifth generation of the Polo, a supermini-class car manufactured by Volkswagen since 2009. The vehicle unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March 2009, while the three-door version was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009. A four-door long-wheelbase sedan version has been produced and sold outside Europe in several emerging markets since 2010 either as the Volkswagen Vento or the Volkswagen Polo sedan. A short-wheelbase sedan version was sold in India between 2016 and 2020 as the Volkswagen Ameo.
