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

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

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

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

The LFA proved there was a mad streak buried deep in the company. The LC proves it wasn’t a flash in the pan

A cult favourite, and with good reason. Fast, fun and frugal, the Mk1 Fabia vRS is a relic of a bygone era

A very balanced SUV, this. Comfy, quiet, practical, none too sporty and all the better for it. More an XC90 rival than an X5 fighter

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

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

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

A terrific car, a genuine exponent of light weight and something pleasingly different to drive

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

The Bentayga has always been an irresistibly posh take on the SUV. Its update only exaggerates the feeling

The Volvo S90 does things differently from its German rivals, which is exactly why we like it so much

The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover. Don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it

Suzuki's funkiest product has had the funk dialed down a bit by newly pragmatic hybrid versions

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
