The Karoq might have lost its predecessor’s personality, but on every other front it’s a better car than the one it replaces

Been around for a few years. Still among the best of its ilk, but look at the new Leon Estate before you buy

Great-looking, great to drive new Volvo should be a fine car to own.

A gamble of a reinvention, but the new, grown-up yet gigglesome Fiesta ST is mostly a winner. Buy one.

Manages to serve up a zingy new style that hardly compromises its space or usefulness

Less 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.

The latest Tiguan feels solid, sensible and laser-guided at its target market

An outstandingly sorted car, but something tells us you’ve already made your mind up about liking the 4 Series or not

Another crushingly good effort from Audi. The new A6 Avant is a one-stop shop for family life

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS

Another convincing effort from Hyundai and a tempting alternative to the more obvious Mondeo.

The new 5 Series is as good to drive as the BMW image, and yet it's as refined and plush as a Mercedes E-Class.

Spacious and stylish addition to the growing ranks of school run specials

Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport

Beautifully built and beautiful to look at. But the A4 is 98 per cent as good, cheaper and less pretentious.

Hyundai arrives to worry the Ford Mondeo – and the impressive i40 certainly does that.

Just what the market ordered. Stylish crossover for people who don't need family space. But don't dig too deep beyond that

The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland

Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.

As entertaining and satisfying as the old Twingo was mundane and mediocre.

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting

Much better to drive than the A-Class it’s based on, plus it’s more useful than the saloon. Buy one of these, not a crossover
