9/10SkodaSuperb Estate£25,420 – £40,280Skoda’s kept all of what we loved about the old Superb (size, space, value) and added updated interior tech and a genuinely stylish body. Verging on genius
8/10HyundaiKona Electric£17,240 – £40,895One of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today
8/10BentleyBentayga£133,100 – £196,590The Bentayga has always been an irresistibly posh take on the SUV. Its update only exaggerates the feeling
8/10AudiA3 Sportback£22,500 – £37,925Fussy design inside and out doesn’t spoil a really rather good family hatchback
8/10BentleyBentayga£133,100 – £196,590The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.
Editor’s choice8/10SkodaSuperb£24,140 – £39,000Bigger and better than ever, the Superb offers a whole lot of car for the cash.
8/10PorscheCayenne£57,195 – £123,349The Cayenne remains the king of driver-friendly SUVs. A very complete machine
7/10FordKuga£22,790 – £37,730The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car
7/10AudiA3 E-Tron£22,500 – £37,925Not the perfect solution to all your motoring needs, but a great first effort at a useable everyday hybrid.
7/10AudiQ5£40,835 – £66,700Quiet, comfortable, spacious and well-built, the Q5 hits the bases it needs to on the bullseye
7/10MiniCountryman£23,125 – £37,375Biggest Mini yet is the least fun to drive. But new Countryman has practicality on its side.
7/10ToyotaC-HR£29,940 – £32,420The looks are polarising, but if you want it, you’ll really really want it.
7/10FordMondeo Estate£25,675 – £33,825More grown up and all the better for it. Priced very keenly too - it's a smart shout.
7/10AudiA7£47,910 – £85,770This isn’t a luxury sports saloon – it’s a luxury limousine dressed in a rakish, designer suit
7/10VolvoXC60£39,150 – £60,800Does things differently to the Germans - a safe way to move a family around in style
7/10AudiA3£22,500 – £37,925The definitive example of rock-solid, sensible, impeccable German engineering
7/10HyundaiKona£17,240 – £40,895Go ahead if you like the look of it. If you don't, endless rivals are about as good.
7/10ToyotaCorolla Touring Sports£25,255 – £32,925A Corolla estate is exactly as worthy (and no doubt as easy to own) as it sounds
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?
6/10Peugeot508 SW£27,425 – £42,175Not the most rounded family estate, but the big Pug oozes desirability. Much cooler than a 3 Series
6/10ToyotaCorolla£23,985 – £31,210The Corolla is back, looking better than ever, but still short on fun
6/10Peugeot508 SW£27,425 – £42,175The Peugeot 508 SW is a better car than the Citroen C5 Tourer it shares its chassis with.
