7/10JaguarXE£37,710 – £154,245Comfy and quiet yet brilliant to drive. The handling-nerd's car in this class
8/10Mercedes-BenzAMG GT£96,740 – £189,235Dramatic, fast and useable, with Mercedes’ thoroughness and AMG’s sporting genes.
8/10Mercedes-BenzE-Class£38,285 – £105,330Mercedes has thrown everything it knows into the new E-Class. You can tell.
8/10BentleyContinental GTC £167,000 – £216,140Top class. The GT in the Conti's name is there for a reason.
8/10LamborghiniUrus£163,962On paper it's a clash of purposes, in reality it's a mouth-watering prospect. Can Lamborghini inject some real supercar DNA into a 2.2-tonne SUV?
8/10AudiRS6 (2002)£90,560 – £107,060An utterly beguiling car. And it feels so relevant today - its performance hasn’t been hugely outstripped, it’s still good to drive, and the interior is laid out in a way that doesn’t feel its age.
8/10TeslaModel X£87,190 – £168,730Not cheap, and not a conventional SUV, but a thoroughly capable family wagon.
8/10JaguarXE£37,710 – £154,245The long-awaited baby Jag doesn’t disappoint. It needed to be right. It is. Now it has to deliver sales.
8/10BentleyBentayga£133,100 – £196,590The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.
9/10Mercedes-BenzE-Class Estate£40,285 – £98,180One of the most practical, sensible and desirable large estates.
9/10AudiRS6£90,560 – £107,060Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder
9/10NissanGT-R£81,805 – £172,805The cheapest way into this kind of speed you can find. Awe-inspiring in many ways and a living legend to boot.
9/10LamborghiniHuracan£155,400 – £207,925A thorough update of the Gallardo, and good enough to play ball with its rivals.
9/10AudiRS6 (2013)£90,560 – £107,060It’s the most amusing car that Audi makes – including the R8 – for sheer wilful silliness.
