car reviews

Finding fault with the A3 Sportback is quite hard. Right now, it’s the most roundly talented premium hatch there is

Efficient and interesting to look at, but the Yaris is one for the practical head rather than emotional heart

Very, very convincing. Handsome, luxurious, balming and stately. But awesome to drive too

Unquestionably better than its rather lumpy predecessor... but why not just go for a 3 Series instead?

The Ford Ranger was already Europe’s best-selling pick-up, and on this evidence it will hold that title for a long while yet

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability

Lancia is back, and the Ypsilon is now a sensible but stylish little supermini

The Taycan Sport Turismo handles as beautifully as it looks. Practicality, on the other hand, is not this estate’s strongest suit

Exciting looks clothe typical Toyota cleanliness and worthiness. Still a bit bland though

Kia proves that forward-thinking needn’t be wacky and that sensible needn’t be boring

At last, Volkswagen has (mostly) fixed the interior and tech. But rivals are cheaper, go further, and come with better cabins

Everything Bentley knows about luxury, wrapped up in an SUV. Not the prettiest, but one of the most complete

An Audi for people who like Audis – you could do much worse

One of Britain's cheapest EVs has loads of equipment. We wish they'd spent that money elsewhere though

The Aceman is there for those that want a Cooper with rear doors and a slightly bigger boot. But it's not a game-changer

The GMC Sierra EV is a more versatile application of the Hummer and Escalade IQ platforms that blends loads of EV mileage with truck utility

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

The Enyaq Coupe is an accomplished electric SUV, but it sacrifices substance in the name of style

Volvo's baby SUV does a decent job of being slightly different but entirely acceptable

The Omoda 9 is a steady effort with headline-grabbing e-range. But is all that tech enough to make you put up with the forgettable drive?
