The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its bargain price tag, but it's got more going for than that

Electric supermini based on the same bones as the Cupra Raval and VW ID. Polo, in the vein of the Renault 4. But does the Epiq have its own Skoda character?

VW’s smallest ID with big-car ideas. An excellent all-rounder, even if it is a little bit vanilla in the styling. Satisfying rather than sexy

The Raval is the first MEB+ supermini – with the ID. Polo and Skoda Equip to come – and it has a defined Cupra character…

Latest Vauxhall Grandland is an improvement, but it's not very exciting

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Bosh. What more do you want?

Ford's previous form in crossovers is a bit spotty. Spoiler alert: this one's a good 'un

A mid-life facelift improves an already convincing car – it's neater looking and better driving than basically every crossover you can think of

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, the verve of its predecessor has gone AWOL

Smooth, capable, practical and well made, the Outlander PHEV is an antidote to pretty much everything else of a similar size. Why did it ever leave the UK?

The Citroen e-C3 is a charming little goofball. The fact that it’s comfy and impressively cheap will only make you love it more

Noisy and inefficient in its pure combustion form. Omoda's first car to the UK is certainly not its best work

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

The new T-Roc will impress owners of the old T-Roc – and there are plenty of them

Uh oh, Nissan has gone from an EV pioneer to a lazy plagiarist. The Micra is a good car, but only because it's an imitation of a brilliant one

The 408 looks fit for the catwalk, but more importantly doesn’t forgo substance in the name of style

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

There’s nothing overtly terrible about the Jaecoo E5… but there’s nothing compelling either. You’ll buy it with your wallet not your heart

With its eye-catching design, interesting cabin, and useful hybrid powertrains, the 308 SW makes a compelling case for itself

Dacia’s focused relentlessly on building the best value seven-seater – everything else is a bonus

Do you know someone who owns a Jaecoo 5? Offer them a hot beverage and a consoling hug. There, there
