Another charming take on the electric hot hatch that we’re thoroughly happy exists, though anyone hoping for the full 205 GTI rebirth will be left wanting

The Audi Q4 e-tron is a useful family SUV that just happens to be electric

Skoda’s new electric flagship SUV goes hard on comfort, style and technology. And is largely successful in all areas. Excellent

Another day, another cheap-ish SUV from China. The Starray sells itself on its spacious cabin and low price tag, but there’s little to it beyond that

Mazda once again strays from its dynamically brilliant roots, but the CX-6e remains attractive in both design and price

A terrifically mature new-gen small car from Mercedes, even if the design reprises the old. Still usefully compact

A pleasing step on from the car it replaces. Won't please the enthusiasts, but it will please those watching the pennies

A Mazda like no other... because it isn't one, really. There are glimmers of the firm’s dynamic nous, but that touchscreen is unforgivable

The Tonale is styled and engineered with more verve than most of its rivals. Not perfect, but no crossovers are

Swaggering family lux-bus drives appropriately. One of the passengers will need a comfort break long before it needs a recharge

It looks the part and it's fun to drive, but Abarth’s 600e can't escape its roots

The follow-up to the successful DS 7 irons out some of its idiosyncrasy while standing convincingly proud of its numerous Stellantis cousins. A job decently done

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is a comfortable cruiser, with a smart interior that feels a treat to sit in

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

No slouch and an impressive plug-in hybrid, but it won’t put a smile on your face like the GTI

Interesting in design inside and out and supremely practical. There isn’t much the Hyundai Santa Fe can’t do

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

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

There’s life in the executive estate yet. Simpler than a 5 Series, cheaper to buy and run than an SUV, just needs an excitement injection

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around… but it now looks menacingly expensive versus its first proper rival

The world’s best-selling car gets a serious update in this second-generation. But is it enough to keep it at the top of the charts?
