8/10Alfa RomeoGiulia£33,010 – £63,565Alfa's rebirth gets off to a flying start. RWD Giulia is a sign of good things to come
7/10JaguarXF Sportbrake£37,125 – £54,125Jaguar said its SUVs made new estate cars pointless. It’s built one anyway, and it’s mostly a success.
8/10Alfa RomeoStelvio£37,160 – £88,165Perhaps it isn’t as stirring as Alfas of the past, but this time who knows, you might actually buy one.
8/10BMW5 Series Touring£39,625 – £58,525The new 5 Series is as good to drive as the BMW image, and yet it's as refined and plush as a Mercedes E-Class.
8/10BMW4 Series Convertible£41,230 – £53,210The default four-seat cabrio. Excellent engines and quality, impressive metal roof too.
7/10Mercedes-BenzE-Class Coupe£43,675 – £67,415Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination
8/10Mercedes-BenzE-Class Cabriolet£48,170 – £70,910Mercedes almost undermines its own flagship with new E-Class Cabrio. Close one
8/10Mercedes-BenzCLS£50,830 – £76,520Same waft, just with added style. A fine long-distance GT, if ever there was one.
8/10AudiS8 £70,785 – £104,590Screw ‘high-performance’ SUVs. Get one of these instead, and pretend you’re a Parisian assassin
