car reviews

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

The electric version of the 208 is a mature and accomplished car

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside

The MX-30 is an interesting if muddled car, and one not quite as deft to drive as its name suggests

BMW i5 is part car, part ecosystem. Even so, it’s rewarding to drive and the cabin is world class

The Solterra plays to Subaru's strengths, and while it's not the best all-round EV out there, it's more engaging than you might expect

Jeep has built a top-notch city car, with OK range and quick-enough rapid charging

The MG4 brings range, equipment, zippy dynamics and style to the small electric car party. Why spend more on something else?

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

Sorry, purists. Porsche’s bestselling car in the UK is the most complete small premium SUV money can buy

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

Jaguar stepped bravely into the unknown and nailed it. A rapid, desirable, good-looking car that happens to be powered by electricity

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP

The first purpose-built Skoda EV nails the brief. Incredibly convincing alternative to its VW group rivals

Yes, it’s a rubbish ‘car’... because it isn’t one. But it is fun to use and an entirely loveable object

Sportiness is all well and good, but there’s no harm in prioritising comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

More fun than a crossover, roomy, comfortable, efficient and importantly, it's got character and is likeable

A solid electric car for people who are looking for a solid electric car experience

The EQS SUV does it all but it lacks the character and supreme authority that makes the Range Rover such a lodestar
