Saloon car reviews

One of those classic ‘nice if you like to stand out from the herd’ cars. More relaxed than sporting, but will anyone notice?

A perfectly adequate family barge, but a weak petrol engine line up and changing consumer preferences means likely for not much longer

Don’t fancy a German four-door? There’s an updated, eccentric Italian alternative... but you need to really want one.

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

Alfa's love letter to the fast saloon doesn't make rational sense, but it doesn't matter: it's very, very special

Ticks every cost-effective box, and quite refined. Still tricky to be enthusiastic about, though

Porsche's updated sports limo has more ability and bandwidth than ever before. The best it's ever been

Good looking, spacious and well equipped, but the wow-factor is only surface-deep

Looks the business, decent to drive and relatively practical, but still likely to be a rare sight on UK roads

Updated E63 gains comfort, still mighty to drive. A win-win for the best super-saloon of them all

Heavy-handed in its performance and ride quality, but with way more depth and finesse than its predecessor

A true icon of beauty and technology. Always drive your heroes

As good as front-driven BMWs get, but arguably not as stylish as its sub-niche requires

Widebody adds manners to the best bang-for-your-buck US saloon

Heartland Audi, now with (shock!) semi-controversial looks and crowd-pleasing tech

Camry makes an underwhelming return to the UK. It'll make a decent Uber, but you wouldn’t want to own one

Comfy and quiet yet brilliant to drive. The handling-nerd's car in this class

G90s’s mix of hushed luxury, high standard specification and solid build quality allied to a price tag from a class below make it a potentially winning proposition

The ultimate tech-laden family supercar. Start saving

Everything we've come to love about new-age Volvos in a smaller size

Every Lexus trait wrapped up in a tight 3 Series sized package. Superb design, forgettable to drive, probably quite nice to own.
