car reviews

Heading into the nearest Stellantis dealer to pick up a generic crossover? You might just have your head turned by the Leapmotor’s £29,995 price tag

A feelgood, immensely practical family hauler at a scarcely believable price

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

Not exactly a box-fresh car, but a thoroughly welcome one nonetheless. Follow its lead in not taking life too seriously

Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family.

Future-proofed European Jeep is a pretty blameless car and well priced. But it feels like a box-ticking exercise to us

Nissan has turned over a new Leaf. Yup, inevitable headline is justified by the facts

Bigger than most rivals, this is a really useful and comfy car. Those in the driver's seat will be happy too

Unpick the cringey slogans on the doors and you’ve got yourself a roomy, sensibly-priced and comfortable take on a supermini

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

European design and engineering means it looks and drives better than rival Chinese-brand crossovers. But not enough to overcome annoying screen and inefficiency

New electric Micra feels smart and drives well - just like the R5 whose homework it copied

Several years after launch, an updated ID.5 charms us more than the launch car

Your nan’s supermini handles like the proverbial go-kart, but ain’t as complete as a Fiesta

Ford grabs a VW platform and puts its own spin on it. Arguably with better results

Forgettable to look at, lacking in dynamic talent, and no cheaper than rivals. Where’s the USP?

Fiat's recast 500 is a solid, refined little electric car. But rivals are cheaper and will go further

Fancy a slice of sensible Skoda-ness but put off by the Enyaq’s size? The Elroq is for you

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

Ignore the MG badge, this is another Chinese electric SUV that doesn’t rock the boat and isn’t a bargain
