Supermini car reviews

Electric supermini based on the same bones as the Cupra Raval and VW ID. Polo, in the vein of the Renault 4. But does the Epiq have its own Skoda character?

VW’s smallest ID with big-car ideas. An excellent all-rounder, even if it is a little bit vanilla in the styling. Satisfying rather than sexy

The Citroen e-C3 is a charming little goofball. The fact that it’s comfy and impressively cheap will only make you love it more

Uh oh, Nissan has gone from an EV pioneer to a lazy plagiarist. The Micra is a good car, but only because it's an imitation of a brilliant one

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

A smart looking little supermini that’s as likeable to drive as it no doubt is to live with

The Fabia is the dictionary definition of 'easy to live with', or would be if the dictionary catered for phrases as well as words

The Fiat Grande Panda does lots for little, and carries it off with an air of panache

All previous Corsas have reeked of mediocrity, but not this one... until you get inside it

The Polo GTI hangs on in a world where petrol-powered hot hatches are a dying breed, but we'd still like a little more flair

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

Efficient and interesting to look at, but the Yaris is one for the practical head rather than emotional heart

Suzuki reckons it can steal small car sales now that others are backing out of the game. The new Swift is a refreshingly simple choice if you get past the looks

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

The new MG 3 deserves its place at the supermini table. Good to drive, frugal to run, and cheap as they come

The e-208's combination of range, easy personality, and surprising desirability make it a strong contender... just a shame about the price

The moustachioed Mini is an excellent grown-up hatch, if not the most practical choice

Mazda’s oft-overlooked Corsa rival isn’t a bad all-rounder, but is let down by its weak naturally aspirated engine range

Makes no promises it cannot keep, and absolutely nails the brief Dacia set for it: simple, spacious motoring for pennies on the pound. Now with added refinement

A characterful supermini with decent levels of comfort, the C3 has ended up as a likeable little car. If not for those with choice paralysis

A sensible update for a supermini that's brilliant to drive. Enough to take its place back at the top of sales charts?
