A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV with a premium ownership experience to match

The Ioniq 9 is big, smooth and accomplished. Who needs an electric Range Rover?

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

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

Kia proves that forward-thinking needn’t be wacky and that sensible needn’t be boring

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

The Alfa Junior is a lot of fun in Veloce form… just know the range means you’ll be having that fun briefly

The Mini Cooper is a great little car, overflowing with personality. This one just happens to be electric

Citroen's hatch isn't like all the rest and plays big on comfort. Plus, it's not quite a crossover

A handsome saloon or estate that doesn’t try too hard to be an aero car

The Explorer’s close cousin is a little slinkier looking but more expensive and much the same to drive

A facelift for the Model 3 comes just in the nick of time to nudge it back ahead of rivals

One or two good EVs could’ve been a fluke… but Kia’s still nailing the brief. EV3 joins what could be the strongest family EV line-up on sale today

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

Smaller and lighter would've been lovely, but no dice. Oh well, the Countryman still hits its brief as an SUV

Among an abundance of small SUVs, the 2008, with its eye-catching looks and great interior tech, is one of the most interesting

Ford jumps on the electric crossover bandwagon. Ignore the Mustang branding and you'll find an accomplished car

The new EQE SUV fills a gap in the Mercedes range, but doesn't do much else

The first exec-sized electric wagon on the scene, and good enough the others need not bother… unless they can undercut BMW’s hefty prices
