Automatic Reviews

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

Yes, it’s effectively a van with windows. But it’s also magnificent

Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness

Seat’s most complete car. It has no real weaknesses – but we just know you’d rather have the VW…

A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas

If the Passat is too dull but you still have a sensible side, the CC could be just the car for you

C-HR handles well and looks quirky, but hybrid and infotainment systems let the package down

It’s big, expensive and not especially clever, but it is really, really good at ferrying lots of people about. Really, really quietly.

Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.

Peugeot ditches MPVs, does crossovers instead. Seven-seat 5008 is the biggest yet

The Subaru XV can manage more than many of its competitors off-road, but it's let down by its engine and gearbox

The B-Class is now a genuine contender – if an expensive one – in the family hatch sector.

Cosier and more expensive than rivals, but appealing badge and quality

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

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

The simplest and most exciting Toyota in years is also a real pleasure to drive

One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too

More grown up and all the better for it. Priced very keenly too - it's a smart shout.

We've had to wait for it, but the new Mondeo has been well worth it.

The Corolla is back, looking better than ever, but still short on fun

Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy

The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces
