8/10Mercedes-BenzC-Class£28,695 – £76,513Meet the new C-Class, same as the old C-Class: comfy, techy and classy
8/10JaguarXE£31,245 – £148,180The long-awaited baby Jag doesn’t disappoint. It needed to be right. It is. Now it has to deliver sales.
8/10Land RoverDiscovery£45,810 – £68,590The consummate big family SUV. Spectacular off-road, now better on it, but is it just too Range Rover for its own good?
8/10LamborghiniUrus£157,800On paper it's a clash of purposes, in reality it's a mouth-watering prospect. Can Lamborghini inject some real supercar DNA into a 2.2-tonne SUV?
8/10AudiA4£28,465 – £44,890Audi rejects agility in favour of comfort. The result is the best A4 ever.
8/10Alfa RomeoGiulia£32,620 – £62,205Alfa's rebirth gets off to a flying start. RWD Giulia is a sign of good things to come
8/10Alfa RomeoStelvio£36,920 – £87,685Perhaps it isn’t as stirring as Alfas of the past, but this time who knows, you might actually buy one.
8/10PorschePanamera£63,913 – £131,152Better looks clothe more tech than we could ever explain. Still the driver's lux choice.
8/10Rolls-RoyceCullinan£276,000Even if you struggle with the concept of the big, fast, heavy SUV, you can’t argue with the execution here
Editor’s choice8/10SkodaSuperb£21,910 – £36,820Bigger and better than ever, the Superb offers a whole lot of car for the cash.
8/10BMW3 Series£33,350 – £39,440Rivals keep it from a better score, but the new 3 is still one of the benchmarks for this class
7/10Hyundaii40£20,140 – £28,935Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10Mazda6£20,740 – £32,115Another good Mazda from one of the very few car companies – any company, come to that – which simply doesn’t make a bad product
7/10VolkswagenPassat£21,975 – £37,915Volkswagen serves up more of the same and it's now better than ever.
7/10SuzukiJimny£14,859 – £18,429The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover out there. Just don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it
7/10VauxhallInsignia Grand Sport£20,080 – £36,925New Insignia ticks every cost-effective box, and is much more refined than before. Still tricky to be enthusiastic about, though
7/10JeepWrangler£33,590 – £49,270If you ‘get’ the Wrangler, this one’s easier to live with than ever before and just as easy to love. If you don’t, there’s always the Skoda Kodiaq
7/10Peugeot508£25,204 – £33,054A big French saloon might be an oddball choice, but the 508 looks bold, feels good and drives (mostly) well
6/10VolkswagenCC£25,290 – £33,460If the Passat is too dull but you still have a sensible side, the CC could be just the car for you
6/10VolvoS60£22,690 – £36,790A safe, sensible, comfortable saloon. Not a patch on the latest BMW 3-Series, though.
