car reviews

A slick design wrapped around a sumptuous interior. Hopefully the software underpins it all properly

The Polo GTI hangs on in a world where petrol-powered hot hatches are a dying breed, but we'd still like a little more flair

Heading into the nearest Stellantis dealer to pick up a generic crossover? You might just have your head turned by the Leapmotor’s £29,995 price tag

Wholly different from the hybrid C-HR, but does just the same job. Only it's electric

A feelgood, immensely practical family hauler at a scarcely believable price

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

Y’know the Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

Not exactly a box-fresh car, but a thoroughly welcome one nonetheless. Follow its lead in not taking life too seriously

Toyota's pick-up walks the tightrope between lifestyle cool and hard as nails utility

Top spec models are well equipped and massively capable off-road (particularly the AT35), but on road it’s still rough around the edges

The AMG One delivers on the dream of an F1 engine in a road car. It’s simultaneously flawed, an ill-advised folly and one of the most fascinating machines ever made

Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family.

Future-proofed European Jeep is a pretty blameless car and well priced. But it feels like a box-ticking exercise to us

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

Nissan has turned over a new Leaf. Yup, inevitable headline is justified by the facts

Like the sedan, the Toyota Corolla Cross is functional and affordable, but little more

By focusing on luxury over performance, the Cadillac Lyriq succeeds as a useful, comfortable and elegant electric SUV

Bigger than most rivals, this is a really useful and comfy car. Those in the driver's seat will be happy too

Unpick the cringey slogans on the doors and you’ve got yourself a roomy, sensibly-priced and comfortable take on a supermini

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though
