Neither revolutionary in style nor the most exciting to drive, but a very mature car

Softer and a little disappointing: the new RS isn’t what it was. Still fun, but we hoped for more…

Cheery and characterful, the new Clio is a genuinely appealing supermini.

A very rational car in standard form, which will make your life easy, but not exciting

One of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today

Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good.

Not the most compelling hatch, but as a car for real family life, it could be brilliant

Well done Audi, this one's a proper little stonker: fast, small, fun, a 4wd hot hatch done properly.

MPV sales are down, but the stylish Scenic has every chance of reversing the trend.

Buy it for the looks and lifestyle, then put up with the flaws. Likeable, but irrational

Jeep’s tough-look new Renegade brings much-needed brand kudos.

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape

Not the best car in this uninspiring, fleet-orientated end of the segment but a very worthy effort.

New Insignia ticks every cost-effective box, and is much more refined than before. Still tricky to be enthusiastic about, though

A capable answer to a question nobody should be asking

Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport

Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.

Land Rover plays with a winning formula just enough. The Evoque remains a stylish, accomplished choice

The Evoque is pretty much all we hoped it’d be, a crossover to fall for.
