car reviews

We’re stoked that Kia hasn’t binned the hatch for good, but the K4 isn’t a great all-rounder like so many of its kin

A terrifically mature new-gen small car from Mercedes, even if the design reprises the old. Still usefully compact

Latest facelift adds a touch of sparkle to a car that otherwise feels very normcore. Not necessarily a bad thing

A slick design wrapped around a sumptuous interior. Hopefully the software underpins it all properly

Interesting in design inside and out and supremely practical. There isn’t much the Hyundai Santa Fe can’t do

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

Baby Renault keeps the price down but desirability up. Delightful for urban use. Of course limited for road-tripping

The marque’s first mid-engined supercar is also a plug-in hybrid. Don’t worry, though. It has a V8, 1,068bhp and a carbon fibre chassis

The best sporting electric SUV money can buy… even if it does take rather a lot of money to do that

Jaecoo has shown Britain is giving anonymous brands a chance; Changan might be another that gets people’s collective nod of approval because the Deepal S05 is stylish and competent enough to compete with established names

Hyundai's most strident styling yet clothes a car as sensible and well appointed as you'd hope

Electric turbos ensure this is not only the fastest, but most drivable 911 Turbo there’s ever been

Mildly eccentric and self-consciously French, but underneath its fancy frock it remains an Astra/308 in disguise. It shows

Merc’s new mid-size EV family starts here, and the GLC is an impressive all-rounder aimed at comfort not thrills

Subaru-built with Subaru values; it’s an electric Outback that offers more than you’d think

The Symbioz is a perfectly fine family runabout, but lacks a little sparkle in an ever-crowded sector

The third gen 3008 looks tremendous inside and out. But enough to cost more than a Sportage or Kuga?

DS makes something inevitably different from the German opposition, and surprisingly different from the rest of Stellantis's stuff

The Renault 5 spawns a warm hatch with reasonable results. Just watch the range when the going gets chilly

The #5 looks and feels modern and expensive. The drive is all about comfort, so avoid the powerful versions

The Kia Carnival is an excellent example of what a minivan does better than the average SUV, but also shows what people will sacrifice for more versatility
