car reviews

Renault mends the bits that needed mending and leaves the bits that didn’t. A big step forwards

Ford jumps on the electric crossover bandwagon. Ignore the Mustang branding and you'll find an accomplished car

The gen-2 Leaf hits a broad sweet spot of usability, likability and affordability. Can now be had with added range too

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

At last, a small Vauxhall that’s not tedious to drive! Now, just sort out that dated interior

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

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

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

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

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream

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 newly-moustachioed Mini is an excellent grown-up hatch. Not the most practical though

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

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

Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir

The EQA isn't exactly engaging to drive or quick. Its big draw is the hugely refined and reassuring feelgood ambience, and that'll satisfy the fanbase. If perhaps not find new converts

New eighth-gen Golf remains the lingua-franca of the hatch world. A finely polished machine
