Lexus presents a hybrid alternative to the standard premium-crossover fare

Still feels like the odd one out in the BMW family. Roomy and well-appointed, but doesn’t drive well enough or offer clever solutions for family motoring

It's comfy, it drives well, it's got performance *and* eco options... There's really not much to criticise

A lovingly created, better-than-new classic Ferrari, and the most affordable (!) way to get a California Spyder into your life

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again

If sheer refinement is what matters to you in a luxury car, this is the new champion. The EQS fuses Merc’s old school lux with new-age propulsion

A true Nineties hero. And one that’s just as much fun to drive now as the day it was born

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

A coupe-ified SUV that isn't massively less practical than the car on which it's based. But you still want the SUV

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul

Smart, likeable supermini that bodes reasonably well for the i20N

Bored of your tired ol' Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? Welcome to the new Toyo-zuki successor

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

Beautiful to look at and listen to, but still a proper challenge to drive. Forget 1,000bhp hyper-exotics – this is what loving cars is all about

The Leon Cupra has come of age. The mix of civility and pace is as good as anything out there
