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

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

Skoda’s facelifted electric family SUV is better than ever. Smartened looks add to relentless competence

Not as sharply styled as it once was, and its lack of individuality might perturb some. But the car’s core values mostly remain

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we want or need. For the final one per cent there is the M3 Touring

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

Latest generation of VW’s best-selling model plays things with a straight bat. Not a thriller, but nor is it designed to be

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

A good SUV from Kia - quietly does all the family jobs you need, without fuss. Looks smart, too

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

Smaller and lighter would've been lovely, but no dice. Oh well, the Countryman still hits its brief as an SUV

The Mk4 Skoda Superb is the Czech firm’s best effort yet. Get one while you still can

A great looking car with a myriad of drivetrain options. Shame the Skoda Octavia exists

The point where 2020s technology meets 1920s craftsmanship. Entertaining, but there are cracks in that century-wide gap

Latest generation of the ultimate American go-anywhere 4x4 is the most authentic thing Jeep makes. Off-roaders don’t get gnarlier than this

The latest 5 Series is every bit as brilliant as its predecessor. As you were...
