The Lexus RX is a handsome player in the big SUV arena, but it's hard to play the value card this high up the price chain

The Lexus LC is the maddest Lexus since the LFA, and backs it up with impressive dynamics… so long as you buy the V8, not the hybrid

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

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want. For the final one per cent there will soon be the M3 Touring

One of the automotive woodland's great oaks. Stronger, crispier and all-roundier than ever before

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is a comfortable cruiser and more practical than expected, with its smart interior a sure crowd pleaser

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best

Still feels like the odd one out in the BMW family. Roomy and well-appointed, but doesn’t drive well enough or offer clever solutions for family motoring

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

The Boxster isn't going to awe you or overpower you. It simply works with you in a deeply satisfying way

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again

If sheer refinement is what matters to you in a luxury car, this is the new champion. The EQS fuses Merc’s old school lux with new-age propulsion

An enormously well-rounded true four-seat cabrio… but open cars are all about style. Does this have the right kind?

You might never fall in love with it, but nor will you find yourself shaking your fists at it in a moment of Fawlty-esque existential despair

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The most convincing DS. Tried all the German best-sellers? Here’s a thoughtful alternative

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.
