car reviews

Maserati’s take on the ubiquitous medium-sized SUV hits plenty of targets, yet feels like a car designed to do just that

Not the EV we’d recommend, but if you like the way it looks and battery-power suits your lifestyle then by all means

A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV which should come with a premium ownership experience, but doesn’t drive as well as its German rivals

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

The BYD Atto 3 is a little of key and completely unmemorable to drive

Not cheap, and not a conventional SUV, but a thoroughly capable family wagon

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

Doesn't create a new must-have niche, or take itself too seriously, and neither should you

MG gives the previously dull-but-useful MG5 a thorough upgrade inside and out. Reveals a decent, relatively cheap, unfussy pure electric estate

Mini's crossover still sits in the family-size heartland, but there are more interesting options now available

An extremely competent, well-built example of an EV SUV, but apart from those looks, there's no stand-out USP

Want a Niro? The EV is probably still the one to buy, but the hybrids are solid family crossovers

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

With its eye-catching design, impressive equipment levels, and comfortable ride, the 308 SW makes a compelling case for itself

Tangibly more practical and interesting than a 308, this is SUVs done properly

A refined, capable, likeable van. But it’s not actually a Toyota. It’s French

Citroen's little crossover has a very useful cabin, and it's more individual than many of its ilk. Pity it's not as comfy as billed

The electric 500 convertible is compromised, but that won't diminish its appeal to fans

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again

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
