car reviews

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

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

Even in mid-life, the MG4 is a better drive than most mid-range EVs. That hasn't changed: the facelift is about a more pleasant cabin

AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

Very, very convincing. Handsome, luxurious, balming and stately. But awesome to drive too

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability

Everything Bentley knows about luxury, wrapped up in an SUV. Not the prettiest, but one of the most complete

Aston’s storming recent form continues. Has its flaws, but this much character in a car from 2025 is a rare treat indeed

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

Maserati reinvents itself for the electric age… with a car that doesn’t look too different from the old one. A bonkers V6 lives on, though

The most powerful M5 ever. And the least exciting. Hybrid powertrain robs this hefty bruiser of natural delicacy

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

Had enough of the family SUV? The E-Class proves there’s still plenty of life in the estate

Leave your baggage about its looks at the door and the Cayenne Coupe is a stupendous thing

A terrific car, a genuine exponent of light weight and something pleasingly different to drive

It’s a deeply complete car, the Cayenne: practical, potent and very clever. Underneath, it’s still at the top of the class to drive

If you can make use of it, there's nothing to match it

Sound the fanfare, it's a rear-drive Alfa that's rather good indeed. Updated tech helps too

New mid-engined Corvette C8 is a revolution, not evolution

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us
