6/10AudiA7 Sportback£47,910 – £85,770Great to look at, good to drive. Whoever would have thought a limo-length five-door hatchback/coupe thing would work so well?
7/10AudiA7£47,910 – £85,770This isn’t a luxury sports saloon – it’s a luxury limousine dressed in a rakish, designer suit
8/10AudiA6 Avant£41,210 – £78,410Another crushingly good effort from Audi. The new A6 Avant is a one-stop shop for family life
8/10AudiA6£39,110 – £76,310A brilliantly-designed item. Every inch the mini-A8, but not as good to drive as a 5er.
8/10Mercedes-BenzC-Class Coupe£36,150 – £79,883A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS
7/10AudiA5 Sportback£34,525 – £56,240Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.
7/10AudiA5£34,525 – £56,240Superb design and refinement cloak a nondescript driving experience. Again.
8/10BMW4 Series Coupe£34,490 – £51,130Less inviting to own than a Mercedes C-coupe, but scores points with excellent driving dynamics, a strong range, well laid-out cabin and class-best infotainment.
8/10BMW3 Series Touring£33,840 – £49,470For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want
7/10VolkswagenArteon£32,480 – £41,605Good looking, spacious and well equipped, but it’s missing on that oh-so-important ‘buy-me’ factor...
8/10BMWX2£31,230 – £41,560Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness
6/10BMW2 Series Active/Gran Tourer£27,205 – £37,165Cosier and more expensive than rivals, but appealing badge and quality
8/10HyundaiTucson£26,485 – £34,965Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials
7/10NissanQashqai£26,250 – £31,935One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Qashqai is quiety, comfy and homemade, too
7/10Mazda6£24,130 – £33,810Another good Mazda from one of the very few car companies – any company, come to that – which simply doesn’t make a bad product
6/10KiaProceed£24,065 – £28,825A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed
7/10SeatLeon ST£23,855 – £28,495Only the interior isn't as good as the Golf. Beyond that, there's not a lot to split the Leon ST.
8/10Hyundaii40 Tourer£23,690 – £30,190Another convincing effort from Hyundai and a tempting alternative to the more obvious Mondeo.
7/10Hyundaii40£22,740 – £28,940Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.
7/10AudiQ2£22,495 – £43,185Not revolutionary, but Q2 is different enough to make you stand out in a crowd.
8/10SeatAteca£22,410 – £35,205A first-time entrant from Seat that feels like they’ve been practicing for years.
8/10VolkswagenGolf Estate£22,100 – £29,565It's taken Volkswagen a surprising amount of time to get here, but finally we have a Golf Estate that's up with the best.
