car reviews

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

An imperious cruiser, best sampled with vast quantities of diesely torque. Now with better tech and still available in bonkers SVR form

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

It’s a seductive car, the A5 Cabriolet, and while more dynamically accomplished than its predecessor, it’s still more of a grand touring boulevardier rather than a B-road hustler

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

It's easy to see why this is many people's default hot hatch

A coupe that majors on comfort and luxury. Unless you go for the C63 AMG, in which case it's NUTS

Mercedes nails it. The C-Class cabrio is pleasant to drive but majors on open-top relaxation

There's nothing quite like it on sale. A proper continent-crusher

The latest version of the car that defined the premium hatch sector stays classy

BMW X1 review: by going transverse-engined the X1 has become technically less distinctive, but more useful in the real world.

It’s the car that Top Gear staffers tend to recommend when asked ‘what should I buy?’ more often than anything else.

Audi blends conventional A3 with futuristic drive tech to create its answer to the BMW i3

B is for better: this latest B-Class is a big improvement over previous iterations

This is the best family hatch Peugeot has ever made. Smooth, refined, and comfortable

It may be a baby crossover for the fashion conscious but it's all Range Rover at heart

We're not quite sure how VW allowed it, but Seat has produced a genuine rival to the Golf here...
