car reviews

Mazda once again strays from its dynamically brilliant roots, but the CX-6e remains attractive in both design and price

VW’s smallest ID with big-car ideas. An excellent all-rounder, even if it is a little bit vanilla in the styling. Satisfying rather than sexy

The Lucid Gravity is a premium EV SUV with loads of potential, though it's too average to justify its hefty asking price

The RS5 belongs to a world hell bent on disguising mass rather than stripping it out… nonetheless, it’s got spades of bandwidth

A jack of all trades for both private and professional duties... but the Kombi can't quite disguise its van origins

The Buick Enclave is a perfectly serviceable utility vehicle with a touch of quality, but not nearly enough to justify the price tag

The Raval is the first MEB+ supermini – with the ID. Polo and Skoda Equip to come – and it has a defined Cupra character…

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

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

Baby Renault keeps the price down but desirability up. Delightful for urban use. Of course limited for road-tripping

Latest Vauxhall Grandland is an improvement, but it's not very exciting

A terrifically mature new-gen small car from Mercedes, even if the design reprises the old. Still usefully compact

The plushest, most precise Morgan yet, but it’s very pricey and still vehemently analogue

An electric estate for hatchback money. Just a shame it's a bit lifeless to drive and rear legroom barely grows

A £84k Kia? Yes, this is where we are now, but the EV9 does plenty to justify a once-fanciful price

The GT3’s evolution continues with lessons taken from the RS and S/T. And it’s available with rear seats or without a roof

A pleasing step on from the car it replaces. Won't please the enthusiasts, but it will please those watching the pennies

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Bosh. What more do you want?

Ford's previous form in crossovers is a bit spotty. Spoiler alert: this one's a good 'un

A Mazda like no other... because it isn't one, really. There are glimmers of the firm’s dynamic nous, but that touchscreen is unforgivable

The Amalfi Spider is just as dynamically talented as the hard-top and asks you for precious little compromise. Except for the size of your luggage
