car reviews

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Bosh. What more do you want?

The Tonale is styled and engineered with more verve than most of its rivals. Not perfect, but no crossovers are

Swaggering family lux-bus drives appropriately. One of the passengers will need a comfort break long before it needs a recharge

A wilfully different all-electric saloon with a lovely interior, but not one for keen drivers

It looks the part and it's fun to drive, but Abarth’s 600e can't escape its roots

Spacious, efficient supermini ruined by interfering ‘safety’ tech and soggy drive. Buy a Renault 5 (or a 4 if you need more room)

Fiat’s attempt at urban micromobility is slow, rides like it’s broken and doesn’t go very far. But it’s also impossibly chic and very cheap to lease

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is a comfortable cruiser, with a smart interior that feels a treat to sit in

A mid-life facelift improves an already convincing car – it's neater looking and better driving than basically every crossover you can think of

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

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, the verve of its predecessor has gone AWOL

A cleverly packaged and efficient little EV, that also happens to have some proper character

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

We wonder what Peugeot and Vauxhall bosses think of the B05. It goes further than their electric hatches and costs less

A Scandi four-door GT with over 400 miles of real-world range and Porsche 918 Spyder levels of power. The Taycan needs to watch its back

This might be one of the few coupes you’d choose over the SUV – it’s rangier and the roofline doesn’t decimate headroom

The Volvo EX60 majors in connectivity, quality, practicality, and safety – that the iX3 is superior to drive is neither here nor there

More than half of the W223 S-Class has been updated and refined for 2026. But it's not perfect…

The Raval is the first MEB+ supermini – with the ID. Polo and Skoda Equip to come – and it has a defined Cupra character…

The 7 might just be Omoda’s best car yet. It’s not perfect, but the price will worry mainstream manufacturers

Unmemorable to anyone interested in cars, but it's spacious inside and gets lots of wow-factor kit... plus, this latest version is less rubbish than before
