A smart looking little supermini that’s as likeable to drive as it no doubt is to live with

Latest facelift adds a touch of sparkle to a car that otherwise feels very normcore. Not necessarily a bad thing

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

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

The best sporting electric SUV money can buy… even if it does take rather a lot of money to do that

The third gen 3008 looks tremendous inside and out. But enough to cost more than a Sportage or Kuga?

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, but has lost some of the verve of its predecessor

The RS5 belongs to a world hell bent on disguising mass rather than stripping it out… nonetheless, it’s got spades of bandwidth

There’s life in the executive estate yet. Simpler than a 5 Series, cheaper to buy and run than an SUV, just needs an excitement injection

Even in mid-life, the MG4 is a better drive than most mid-range EVs. That hasn't changed: the facelift is about a more pleasant cabin

The Fabia is the dictionary definition of 'easy to live with', or would be if the dictionary catered for phrases as well as words

The Fiat Grande Panda does lots for little, and carries it off with an air of panache

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family

Y’know the Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive

Nissan has turned over a new Leaf. Yup, inevitable headline is justified by the facts

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

Skoda’s facelifted electric family SUV is better than ever. Smartened looks add to relentless competence

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

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we want or need. For the final one per cent there is the M3 Touring
