car reviews

It's as solid as ever, but some cheap plastics and a ponderous petrol engine have let the side down a bit

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party

A good SUV from Kia - quietly does all the family jobs you need, without fuss. Looks smart, too

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

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

The Mk4 Skoda Superb is the Czech firm’s best effort yet. Get one while you still can

Had enough of the family SUV? The E-Class proves there’s still plenty of life in the estate

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

A great looking car with a myriad of drivetrain options. Shame the Skoda Octavia exists

Honestly? The new X2 doesn’t feel like a car BMW spent spent much time or love on

If you can make use of it, there's nothing to match it

Mini-me EQS that's comfier than its big brother. Would be more relaxing if the tech was less overwhelming

The Forester is undoubtedly a capable companion, but it’s let down by its pointless hybrid range and dated cabin

The Lexus RX is a handsome player in the big SUV arena, but it's hard to play the value card this high up the price chain

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us
