The GR Yaris is superb: hands down the best Toyota we've ever driven

A big-hearted engine in an otherwise sensible car. The perfect seven-tenths hot hatch. We’ll miss it when it’s gone

A well rounded, complete, comfortable car with a calming temperament that makes it a pleasure to waft about in

The CX-60 is a likeable SUV with a great interior and easy-to-use tech, but the plug-in powertrain still needs work

The Terramar is more aggressively styled than its competitors, but also thoroughly decent to drive

A very balanced SUV. Comfy, quiet, practical, none too sporty and all the better for it. More an XC90 rival than an X5 fighter

VW decided the seven-seat Tiguan needed its own unique treatment… the end result is the Tayron

The Alfa Junior is a lot of fun in Veloce form… just know the range means you’ll be having that fun briefly

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

Unquestionably better than its rather lumpy predecessor... but why not just go for a 3 Series instead?

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?

A handsome saloon or estate that doesn’t try too hard to be an aero car

Renault offers an X4 rival at X2 prices and gets a lot of it right, but arguably misses the point of what a family SUV should really do

For all it owes to the Defender and G-Wagen, the Ineos Grenadier has lots of character of its own

If you're looking for a Mazda with seven seats then... now there is one

The Cupra Leon has universal appeal with its wide range of engine options, and the latest facelift has massively improved the interior

The Aceman is there for those that want a Cooper with rear doors and a slightly bigger boot. But it's not a gamechanger

Crossovers have become the same-iest cars ever. Why not go for one that’s a bit more left field?

The Explorer’s close cousin is a little slinkier looking but more expensive and much the same to drive

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around. Could it break the SUV mould?
