Satisfaction counts for an awful lot when it comes to customer loyalty. A happy owner is likely to buy another car from the same manufacturer and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. Despite being introduced in and having seen only a minor set of tweaks since its arrival, the Toyota C-HR is still very highly rated by its owners. It managed a strong performance, with a second place rating for ride and handling, and a sixth place finish for safety technology.
Inside, the comfortable seats, stylish interior and solid build quality were also highly praised. Regardless of these minor grumbles, owners were generally very happy with their CH-Rs, saying they represent great value for money.
The strong finish for the Skoda Karoq places it slightly ahead of the larger Kodiaq SUV in fifth place, with the smaller SUV earning higher aggregate scores across the board. Karoq owners report their cars are economical and have very low servicing costs. They also like the engines and acceleration. Practicality was also highly praised.

Owners also like the driving experience, safety features, vast practicality and the exterior design. Downsides of Kodiaq ownership according to owners include poor fuel economy - no real surprise given its a full-sized seven-seat SUV - some gruff engines and expensive servicing costs.
According to its owners, the Vauxhall Grandland X performs very well in several areas, helping it to an excellent seventh place finish in our survey. Its engines and gearboxes were highly rated, with great acceleration and smooth gearchanges. Owners also loved the infotainment system, the large amount of safety features and the affordable running costs. The interior was praised as well, with respondents telling us they like the neat design, comfortable front seats, respectable practicality and the build quality - a trait that makes it more satisfying to own than more expensive rivals.
Another plus for the Grandland X was its positive scores across the board, with every aspect of ownership rated as satisfactory at a minimum. However, the XC40 redeemed itself with strong scores for its safety features, which operate discreetly in the background. A high rating for practicality indicates its smartly designed layout makes the best use of the available space.
The interior is hit with buyers as well, with the seats ranked as the most comfortable of any car featured in our list. The decent array of standard safety features was also praised and buyers told us the Sportage offers good value for money. Sharing is Nice Yes, send me a copy of this email.
