Hyundai's most strident styling yet clothes a car as sensible and well appointed as you'd hope

An electric car that behaves like a good old-fashioned hatchback. We rather like that

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical

Land Rover stuck to a winning formula with the introduction of the second generation Evoque, and it remains a stylish, accomplished choice

A big French hatch might be an oddball choice, but the 508 looks bold, feels good and drives (mostly) well

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

Merc's C-Class on stilts impresses as a hybrid, and majors on softness and luxury. Far from cheap, though

VW’s flagship SUV is a strong all-rounder and hugely capable both on- and off-road, but it's no cheaper than its premium badged rivals

Take one Mercedes A-Class, subtract practicality, add style

Very popular and with good reason: the Q5 is a posh family crossover done well

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well. But a GLB is the better choice

The MG4 brings range, equipment, zippy dynamics and style to the small electric car party. Why spend more on something else?

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

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

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

Sportiness is all well and good, but there’s no harm in prioritising comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

More fun than a crossover, roomy, comfortable, efficient and importantly, it's got character and is likeable
