BMW 1 Series
Price: £24,430 - £36,430
The new BMW 1 Series is very different to the previous model. It’s front-wheel drive for the first time, with M Performance versions adopting four-wheel drive, while the styling changes turn it into a mini-BMW 5 Series. It feels like that inside too, with plenty of premium touches and some of the very latest safety and connectivity technology.

Skoda Scala
Price: £16,940 - £23,885
Replacing the Skoda Rapid, the Scala sits below the Golf-based Skoda Octavia and is actually based on the Volkswagen Polo. Despite that, it’s large enough for a family and comes with a range of punchy yet economical engines that are used elsewhere in the VW Group range. Safety is a top priority; lane-keeping assist, rear traffic alert and more are available as standard.
