car reviews

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

Crossovers are family transit pods. Judged through that lens, the ID.4 is right on target

A high-tech showcase of everything BMW can do. Whether we want BMW to be doing this is another question

A predictably sensible bespoke EV from Volkswagen, but a roundly competent one too

Kia proving that forward-thinking doesn’t need to be entirely wacky. An extremely attractive package that makes a lot of more premium manufacturers look at least two steps behind

Top spec models are well equipped and massively capable off-road, but on road it’s still rough around the edges

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

Sportiness is all well and good, but for a lot of people there’s as much appeal in a car that disregards that entirely in the pursuit of comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

One of the most complete electric cars money can buy. Superb build quality, and decent to drive

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

The Tarraco is a roomy, good-looking seven-seater and probably the poshest Seat ever

If you can make use of it, there's nothing to match it

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover. Don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it

It’s big, it’s spacious, it’s comfortable, but van-like looks and a limited 143-mile range may prove too much of a turn off for some

A coupe-ified SUV that isn't massively less practical than the car on which it's based. But you still want the SUV

A very conventional Audi, built to persuade regular SUV buyers to make the EV jump

Remains one of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today

The culmination of decades of work for Toyota, but it's for very specialist cases and hydrogen cheerleaders only

The I-Pace won’t be for everyone, but hats off to Jaguar for making a car that steps boldly into the unknown, and shows those pesky Germans the way

First purpose-built Skoda EV nails the brief. Incredibly convincing alternative to the ID.4
