car reviews

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

For a car built to venture off the beaten track, the latest Forester sticks to familiar territory: comfy, spacious and dependable

A worthy effort and far from terrible, but the, um, err… Jaecoo isn’t memorable enough to offset its invisible badge kudos

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

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 newly facelifted Skoda Octavia is the perfect antidote to every SUV out there. Better to look at, better to drive and just as practical

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

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

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

The looks might be polarising but it's not actually ugly and certainly not – bigger crime – bland

Newly facelifted eighth-gen Golf remains the lingua-franca of the hatch world. A finely polished machine

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

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

Leave your baggage about its looks at the door and the Cayenne Coupe is a stupendous thing
