car reviews

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

No slouch and an impressive plug-in hybrid, but it won’t put a smile on your face like the GTI

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

A smart looking little supermini that’s as likeable to drive as it no doubt is to live with

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

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

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

The MX-5 dishes out open-air fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

Skoda’s facelifted electric family SUV is better than ever. Smartened looks add to relentless competence

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we want or need. For the final one per cent there is the M3 Touring

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

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

A heroically talented go-anywhere, do-anything family SUV. Just be sure you *need* this much space and ability

A facelift for the Model 3 comes just in the nick of time to nudge it back ahead of rivals

It's as solid as ever, but some cheap plastics and a ponderous petrol engine have let the side down a bit

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

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party

Do not adjust your device: the new Prius is an object of desire
