car reviews

The RAV4 is comfortable, quiet, and delivers plenty of electric range. But flair is an alien construct here

The Volvo EX60 majors in quality, connectivity, practicality, and safety, but the iX3 is a superior machine

Kia bills the EV4 GT as a hot hatch, but despite going to great lengths this is another ‘warm’ hatch that’s amusing rather than thrilling

The forgotten Porsche gets modernised. You shouldn't forget it

Another charming take on the electric hot hatch that we’re thoroughly happy exists, though anyone hoping for the full 205 GTI rebirth will be left wanting

The Audi Q4 e-tron is a useful family SUV that just happens to be electric

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

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

Swaggering family lux-bus drives appropriately. One of the passengers will need a comfort break long before it needs a recharge

It looks the part and it's fun to drive, but Abarth’s 600e can't escape its roots

The follow-up to the successful DS 7 irons out some of its idiosyncrasy while standing convincingly proud of its numerous Stellantis cousins. A job decently done

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

Merc’s new mid-size EV family starts here, and the GLC is an impressive all-rounder aimed at comfort not thrills

More than half of the W223 S-Class has been updated and refined for 2026. But it's not perfect…

Unmemorable to anyone interested in cars, but it's spacious inside and gets lots of wow-factor kit... plus, this latest version is less rubbish than before

A very competent electric hatchback, but not quite hot hatch levels of fun... unless it’s the VZ one

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

No obvious weaknesses, a quantum leap for EVs - proves what’s possible when you start from scratch with today’s tech

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

There’s life in the executive estate yet. Simpler than a 5 Series, cheaper to buy and run than an SUV, just needs an excitement injection

An extremely competent electric SUV, but apart from those looks there's nothing to quicken the pulse
