car reviews

The MX-5 dishes out open-air fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

Fresh design inside and out, with quality execution, lots of tech and more competent dynamics

Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet

There aren’t many other ways into a new seven-seat EV. The EQB has a USP and runs nicely with it

A stellar EV that’s simple to use and nails the basics. Also no longer mind-numbingly boring to look at. Result

A £75k Kia? Yes, the world's arrived here, but the EV9 does plenty to justify a once-fanciful price

Not fun to drive nor spacious in the back, the EQA is an EV bodge job. The interior's nice though

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

Hugely comfortable, impressively equipped and assured to drive. The new C-Class ticks a lot of boxes

Mercedes takes the ponderous GLC SUV, removes practicality and charges more for it. Hmm...

The Euro-spec, fifth-gen Sportage strikes a neat balance between practicality and style. Like the looks? You'll be a fan

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

The fast Fiesta is more grown up in all the ways you’d want, marginally less chuckable than before, but still hilarious

An electric car that behaves like a good old-fashioned hatchback. We rather like that

A crossover with a point: a practical, fun place to be and quite a spirited drive

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

The electric version of the 208 is a mature and accomplished car

Sure, the Honda Accord is about as exciting as oatmeal, but as a quiet, comfortable, efficient daily driver, you could do much, much worse

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical
