car reviews

The #5 looks and feels modern and expensive. The drive is all about comfort, so avoid the powerful versions

No obvious weaknesses, a quantum leap for EVs - proves what’s possible when you start from scratch with today’s tech

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

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

It looks like a premium car and it's very practical, but the G6 is still just a bit too generic

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

An extremely competent electric SUV, but apart from those looks there's nothing to quicken the pulse

Relaxing to drive, hugely comfortable and impressively equipped, but not without its flaws

For all it owes to the Defender and G-Wagen, the Ineos Grenadier has lots of character of its own

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around… but it now looks menacingly expensive versus its first proper rival

Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder

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

A Nineties poster car that's every bit as delightful in real life as it was on our bedroom wall

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

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
