car reviews

VW’s smallest EV with big-car ideas. The ID. Polo is an excellent all-rounder and a joy to drive, even if the overall vibe is satisfying rather than sexy

The styling won't be for everyone, but it's not actually ugly and definitely not boring (which would be much, much worse)

It's a top seller because it's amazingly cheap, not because it's in any way excellent

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

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, the verve of its predecessor has gone AWOL

The Citroen e-C3 is a charming little goofball. The fact that it’s comfy and impressively cheap will only make you love it more

Noisy and inefficient in its pure combustion form. Omoda's first car to the UK is certainly not its best work

The new T-Roc will impress owners of the old T-Roc – and there are plenty of them

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

There’s nothing overtly terrible about the Jaecoo E5… but there’s nothing compelling either. You’ll buy it with your wallet not your heart

With its eye-catching design, interesting cabin, and useful hybrid powertrains, the 308 SW makes a compelling case for itself

Do you know someone who owns a Jaecoo 5? Offer them a hot beverage and a consoling hug. There, there

Latest facelift adds a touch of sparkle to a car that otherwise feels very normcore. Not necessarily a bad thing

The third gen 3008 looks tremendous inside and out. But enough to cost more than a Sportage or Kuga?

The Fabia is the dictionary definition of 'easy to live with', or would be if the dictionary catered for phrases as well as words

A quirky looking, refined little car, at home in the city and suburbs. The price is a little stiff though

The second coming of the Hyundai Kona is just as radical to look at, and just as competent underneath

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

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

Citroen's hatch isn't like all the rest and plays big on comfort. Plus, it's not quite a crossover

The Karoq might be slightly dull, but it's eager to please and will slot seamlessly into your life
