car reviews

The X5 does an impressive job, but it's ultimately hamstrung by being a BMW

Fresh design inside and out, with quality execution, lots of tech and more competent dynamics

The C5 Aircross won't scratch your driver's itch, but it's a part-of-the-family kind of car, at ease with itself

All Audi brand values, wrapped up in an electric SUV package. No surprises here

A behemoth of a car, but one bestowed with genuine practicality and actual off-road ability

Hugely comfortable, impressively equipped and assured to drive. The new C-Class ticks a lot of boxes

Audi’s largest SUV takes the shock out of living with an electric vehicle

Eccentric and a little expensive in PHEV form, yet easier to want than its rivals

If you can make use of it, there's nothing to match it

Mercedes takes the ponderous GLC SUV, removes practicality and charges more for it. Hmm...

There are other expensive SUVs but there’s only one Range Rover. And it’s better than ever

An electric car that behaves like a good old-fashioned hatchback. We rather like that

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical

Land Rover stuck to a winning formula with the introduction of the second generation Evoque, and it remains a stylish, accomplished choice

Merc's C-Class on stilts impresses as a hybrid, and majors on softness and luxury. Far from cheap, though

VW’s flagship SUV is a strong all-rounder and hugely capable both on- and off-road, but it's no cheaper than its premium badged rivals

Take one Mercedes A-Class, subtract practicality, add style

Very popular and with good reason: the Q5 is a posh family crossover done well

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well. But a GLB is the better choice

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport
