car reviews

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling in 2021 as it was when it was launched in 2016

Y’know the latest Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

Success in a hatch isn't just about the drive. The Focus has the rest of the bases well covered too

Peugeot 308 review: fresh design inside and out, with tip-top execution, plenty of tech and better handling

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously over-delivers on the underpromising price...

Citroen's little crossover has a very useful cabin, and it's more individual than many of its ilk. Pity it's not as comfy as billed

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting

Peugeot 308 review: fresh design inside and out, with quality execution, lots of tech and more competent dynamics

At last, a small Vauxhall that’s not tedious to drive! Now, just sort out that dated interior

Not the most compelling hatch, but as a car for real family life, it could be brilliant

The V60 is a sensible, safe Volvo, just as you’d expect. The estate car of choice if comfort (and style) means more to you than handling

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

The Tarraco is a roomy, good-looking seven-seater and probably the poshest Seat ever

A Good Car. Perhaps not quite as much of an all-rounder as a BMW 5 Series Touring, but the A6 Avant is still preferable to the majority of big five-seat SUVs

It’s big, it’s spacious, it’s comfortable, but van-like looks and a limited 143-mile range may prove too much of a turn off for some

This is finally the spicier Arteon we've been waiting for

A very well-rounded, complete, comfortable car with a calming temperament that makes it a pleasure to waft about in.

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

Having established itself as the family-car stereotype, Qq hits gen 3. As easy to use as ever, and even more practical

Jaguar’s little crossover is broadly competitive but loses out overall to Volvo's XC40

Is a sleeker estate the new must-have niche? Kia thinks so…
