car reviews

With its good looks, well judged handling and competitive pricing, the Ateca remains a strong candidate for your shortlist

The Arkana doesn't excel anywhere and ultimately feels too clinical

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

Merc’s second crack at a small coupe-ish estate car based on a hatchback… is a good’un

Sure, the Honda Accord is about as exciting as oatmeal, but as a quiet, comfortable, efficient daily driver, you could do much, much worse

The Tesla Cybertruck has inexplicable magnetism, causing dumbstruck disbelief and breathless euphoria wherever it goes

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside

Simply one of the greatest M cars, jerky gearchanges an' all

Not a bad effort from Mercedes. Even if the Disco Sport is more likeable and Kodiaq more practical

The Chevy Colorado impresses with a great powertrain, but lackluster interior materials make this brand-new truck feel old

The MX-30 is an interesting if muddled car, and one not quite as deft to drive as its name suggests

Land Rover stuck to a winning formula with the introduction of the second generation Evoque, and it remains a stylish, accomplished choice

A big French hatch might be an oddball choice, but the 508 looks bold, feels good and drives (mostly) well

This is a car that reaches the parts no other can. A symphony of engineering purity, weight-saving purges and mechanical artistry. It will almost certainly never be bettered

Merc's C-Class on stilts impresses as a hybrid, and majors on softness and luxury. Far from cheap, though

VW’s flagship SUV is a strong all-rounder and hugely capable both on- and off-road, but it's no cheaper than its premium badged rivals

A likeable Swiss Army knife. Used to be a bit bland but it now stands out and will shrug off anything thrown at it

BMW i5 is part car, part ecosystem. Even so, it’s rewarding to drive and the cabin is world class

Genesis’ big plush SUV looks and feels as premium as any of its rivals, but can’t quite compete when it comes to driving dynamics

Take one Mercedes A-Class, subtract practicality, add style

The right badge on the wrong car? Perhaps not. It's a cracker to drive
