car reviews

The E-208's familiarity, stylish cabin and decent range make it a strong package... but there are more desirable options out there

VW’s smallest EV with big-car ideas. The ID. Polo is an excellent all-rounder and a joy to drive, even if the overall vibe is satisfying rather than sexy

World-leading range, tip top handling, and an interior that ignores the rulebook… BMW has thrown down the gauntlet with this

Audi builds a better – and more dramatic – Lamborghini Temerario. But you can’t have one

AMG’s first EV is a technical tour de force, but it looks fugly and the interior is mental. And the new electric M3 will soon give us its two cents…

Hyundai’s best Ioniq yet. A nicely finished, well rounded electric supermini at a price that will make rivals wince

There's nothing quite like it and it drives superbly. But there are roomier and lairier alternatives out there

Another likely hit from one of the leading EV carmakers. Beneath the distinctive design, it pleases rather than entertains

BMW has no intention of throwing combustion under the bus… this new 3 Series remains the benchmark saloon

A remarkable combination of smooth-riding refinement with the ability to make serious progress on road. And off it

A very competent electric hatchback, but not quite hot hatch levels of fun... unless it’s the VZ one

The Range Rover has long been the luxury car to have. Now the Electric is the Range Rover to have

The R4 has a sense of fun in both its looks and its driving, and feels immaculate. This is a very, very good value car

The world’s best-selling EV gets a serious update. Trouble is, BMW's new iX3 is a game-changer...

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party

The RAV4 is comfortable, quiet, and delivers plenty of electric range. But flair is an alien construct here

The first exec-sized electric wagon on the scene is still the best, but it’s no longer the standout star it once was

In many ways (even the looks) the C-Class Electric is different from the combustion one. But its reassuring character is just the same

The Volvo EX60 majors in quality, connectivity, practicality, and safety, but the iX3 is a superior machine

The styling won't be for everyone, but it's not actually ugly and definitely not boring (which would be much, much worse)

It's a top seller because it's amazingly cheap, not because it's in any way excellent
