Once upon a time, hot hatches became popular because they were the fast, sporty versions of the cars that everybody else bought, meaning they were affordable. However, now that people are buying SUVs as much as they're buying hatchbacks, it follows that hot SUVs are becoming an inevitability.

Audi, Ford and Hyundai certainly think so. The Audi SQ2 is the oldest car of our Tarmac-tearing triumvirate, but it's recently been facelifted, so Audi clearly thinks there's life in the old dog yet. It's also the fastest car of our trio, with 296bhp and a 0-62mph time of just 4.9 seconds.

On paper, the Ford Puma ST is completely outgunned in this test, giving away 100bhp to the Audi and almost as much to the Hyundai. Obviously, it's slower as a result, sprinting from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds. However, it's also £10,000 cheaper than the Audi, and what's more, Ford has some of the finest chassis engineers anywhere in the motor industry, so can the ST deliver the kind of fleet-footed fervency to make up for that deficit?

The Hyundai splits this particular deck with 276bhp and a 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds. It also comes with a whole bunch of performance-enhancing gadgetry - including adaptive suspension, a limited-slip differential, launch control and more - to cut lap times even further. But is the performance as fearsome as the looks?

In this CarGurus UK triple test, Rebecca Jackson explains the merits and drawbacks of each of our contenders, and names which is the best small-but-fast SUV you can buy.
