GIANT TEST WINNER
1 LAND ROVER DEFENDER
THE GOOD: Reboot brings untold dynamic improvements wherever you drive
THE BAD: Second-row access is a pain in the 90; expensive; 130 in particular is very big, so parking can be tricky
THE UGLY: Alternatives to white steel wheels are offered. Why?
THE ONE TO BUY: Range spans 90, 110 and 130 bodies, with significantly different dimensions but remarkably similar character and the genuine off-road ability that Land Rover always delivers so convincingly. Heart says petrol V8 90, head/wallet say diesel-six D250 110
GIANT TEST WINNER
2 PORSCHE MACAN
THE GOOD: Handles better than any other SUV. And some hot hatches
THE BAD: Hardly an original choice – but then there’s good reason for that
THE UGLY: Be patient – there’s an all-new one due in 2024 and it’ll also be an EV
THE ONE TO BUY: The £72k 434bhp Macan GTS is the sportiest but £60k 375bhp Macan S is the sweet spot
GIANT TEST WINNER
3 ASTON MARTIN DBX
THE GOOD: Glorious noise; masterful balance; rear-axle bias
THE BAD: Fiddly and outdated Merc infotainment drags the cabin down; ‘The name’s Bond, Dadbod Bond’
THE UGLY: How you’l
