car reviews

The Volvo S90 does things differently from its German rivals, which is exactly why we like it so much

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

You might never fall in love with it, but nor will you find yourself shaking your fists at it in a moment of Fawlty-esque existential despair

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The most convincing DS. Tried all the German best-sellers? Here’s a thoughtful alternative

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Alfa's love letter to the fast saloon doesn't make rational sense, but it doesn't matter: it's very, very special

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

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul

Heartland Audi, now with (shock!) semi-controversial looks and crowd-pleasing tech

Camry makes an underwhelming return to the UK. It'll make a decent Uber, but you wouldn’t want to own one

Comfy and quiet yet brilliant to drive. The handling-nerd's car in this class

Can BMW’s ultimate limo finally beat the Mercedes S-class, by a nose? Not quite.

It's very competent across the board, but not greatly different from the rest of the BMW range

Everything we've come to love about new-age Volvos in a smaller size

22nd Century limo looks, stunted by 1980s powertrain response. The ultimate left-field choice.

A convincing mini-A8, but not as complete as the brilliant BMW 5 Series

A8 sits at the top of the many-branched Audi tree. Has all the tech your A4 probably will in five years' time

AMG's mid-life tweaks to the GT supercar make it a very compelling choice.

The VW California finally has a direct rival. Merc’s Marco Polo camper is plush, well engineered and comfortable.
