car reviews

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP

The most involving, joyous 992. It just makes you want to drive. What more can a sports car do?

Yes, it’s a rubbish ‘car’... because it isn’t one. But it is fun to use and an entirely loveable object

Sportiness is all well and good, but there’s no harm in prioritising comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

A solid electric car for people who are looking for a solid electric car experience

The EQS SUV does it all but it lacks the character and supreme authority that makes the Range Rover such a lodestar

Few buyers will make full use of all the Defender's abilities, but it's a family car that’ll make you feel adventurous

It might be a more 'accessible' Ferrari, but don't be fooled - something of an assassin still lurks within

The most powerful hot hatch in series production operates unobtrusively when you don’t demand much from it, and goes properly feral when you do

What the Crosstrek lacks in power and tech it makes up for with butch capability and excellent on-road comfort

Some character's gone AWOL, but it's still astoundingly good to drive yet amazingly easy to live with

A thoroughly capable all-round coupe. But not a purebred Toyota

The Silverado is clearly a front-runner pickup, with user-friendly tech, amenities and engines with great prowess

The electric future’s looking very bright for Rolls-Royce. Very probably the finest car in the world

While it might not have the visual pizazz of its predecessor, the 11th-generation Honda Civic reminds us it’s what’s inside that counts

Honda’s hybrid powertrain is still impressive, but just get it in the Civic rather than messing about with a heavier, uglier SUV

The 595 is certainly feeling its age, but cheap lease deals and noisy exhausts at least make it good value fun

If you're after a seven-seat electric car, then the EQV is the one

Good news: the Soul EV is like a Niro EV, only a bit more interesting

With so much Giulia DNA, the Stelvio was bound to be good. At last an Alfa to buy with your heart *and* head

Makes no promises it cannot keep, and absolutely nails the brief Dacia set for it: simple, spacious motoring for pennies on the pound. Now with added refinement
