car reviews

A six-cylinder sports drop-top sports car with a six-speed manual gearbox is a rare thing these days. The looks? That's up to you

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

Maserati reinvents itself for the electric age… with a car that doesn’t look too different from the old one. A bonkers V6 lives on, though

Renault offers an X4 rival at X2 prices and gets a lot of it right, but arguably misses the point of what a family SUV should really do

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

If you're looking for a Mazda with seven seats then... now there is one

SsangYong has rebranded as KGM, and this first effort under the new badge is… mostly what we’d come to expect from the old one

The Toyota 4Runner is technically good, but it doesn't have the Ford Bronco's enthusiasm for adventure

The 911 remains the definitive sports car. Hybrid GTS is an engineering nerd’s dream, or pick the Carrera for simple pleasures

Hits its marks but doesn’t do much else besides

Manages to be pretty good at everything without being exceptional at anything, but it’ll be a doddle to live with

Apocalypse on the way? Looming natural disaster? The Land Cruiser 250 can get you out of any tight spot

Honda's latest HR-V is a decent all-round package with some thoughtful touches

Tidy dynamics and an upmarket cabin make the Mazda 3 a top-notch hatch, even if it is a bit poky

The Explorer’s close cousin is a little slinkier looking but more expensive and much the same to drive

Better looking than the Lambo Urus, phenomenal performance and handling, hugely expensive… ideal if you need a supercar and an SUV rolled into one

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

The most powerful M5 ever. And the least exciting. Hybrid powertrain robs this hefty bruiser of natural delicacy

Mercedes-Benz does enough to make the G-Wagen a strangely compelling product… even in 2024. You either get it, or you don’t

Two decades old but still the ideal runaround for today, the Mk1 vRS represent some major bang for buck

Safe update of a car that won’t help it find the wider audience it probably needs
