car reviews

Not as sharply styled as it once was, and its lack of individuality might perturb some. But the car’s core values mostly remain

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

DS makes something inevitably different from the German opposition, and surprisingly different from the rest of Stellantis's stuff

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

Some cars make you wonder if the development work was ever finished; for the Haval Jolion Pro, it’s more ‘did they bother at all?’

The Karoq might be slightly dull, but it's eager to please and will slot seamlessly into your life

The Renault 5 spawns a hot-hatch with reasonable results. Decent enough, but not a latterday Renaultsport Clio

Latest generation of VW’s best-selling model plays things with a straight bat. Not a thriller, but nor is it designed to be

The Grandland Electric does what it says on the tin, but won't knock your socks off

It's as solid as ever, but some cheap plastics and a ponderous petrol engine have let the side down a bit

Interesting in design inside and out and supremely practical. There isn’t much the Hyundai Santa Fe can’t do

Big, roomy and well-equipped for the price. But even though it's quick, it's not as much fun as some rivals

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

The third gen 3008 doesn't feel like a revolution. For many, that'll be a win. Refined hybrid powertrain, but ride could be better

Definitely the sensible option, but you'll be laughing all the way to the petrol station

The Symbioz is a perfectly fine family runabout, but lacks a little sparkle in an ever-crowded sector

The new EQE SUV fills a gap in the Mercedes range, but doesn't do much else

All Audi brand values, wrapped up in an electric SUV package. No surprises here

A £75k Kia? Yes, the world's arrived here, but the EV9 does plenty to justify a once-fanciful price

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

Mini-me EQS that's comfier than its big brother. Would be more relaxing if the tech was less overwhelming
