car reviews

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, the verve of its predecessor has gone AWOL

A cleverly packaged and efficient little EV, that also happens to have some proper character

It might look like a van, but the Mercedes VLE is an electric MPV that’s refined, useful, stuffed with details and desirable

Smooth, capable, practical and well made, the Outlander PHEV is an antidote to pretty much everything else of a similar size. Why did it ever leave the UK?

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

The Mitsubishi L200 is a proper workhorse – muscular, dependable, and likely to give you a bruised bum

We wonder what Peugeot and Vauxhall bosses think of the B05. It goes further than their electric hatches and costs less

Forgettable to look at, lacking in dynamic talent, and no cheaper than rivals. Avoid the electric versions

The Citroen e-C3 is a charming little goofball. The fact that it’s comfy and impressively cheap will only make you love it more

The R2 is an excellent starting point for Rivian’s second age – it fully delivers on its promise of a dutiful daily EV equipped for weekend excursions. Could be more user-friendly, though

Marginal gains keep the Hilux match fit, but it hasn’t changed much and the electric version comes with too many compromises

The Subaru Forester is a versatile compact SUV ready for daily chores and weekend adventures, though its media system is woefully lacking

A Scandi four-door GT with over 400 miles of real-world range and Porsche 918 Spyder levels of power. The Taycan needs to watch its back

Noisy and inefficient in its pure combustion form. Omoda's first car to the UK is certainly not its best work

The Nissan Sentra is a convenient, stylish daily driver packed with almost everything you need at an affordable price. It’s even kind of fun to drive

This might be one of the few coupes you’d choose over the SUV – it’s rangier and the roofline doesn’t decimate headroom

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

Merc’s new mid-size EV family starts here, and the GLC is an impressive all-rounder aimed at comfort not thrills

Ford brings back the Wrangler-rivalling Bronco as an adventure truck. We like. Very much

The Volvo EX60 majors in connectivity, quality, practicality, and safety – that the iX3 is superior to drive is neither here nor there
