car reviews

BMW’s Icarus moment. The XM tries to be a luxury SUV and an ultimate M car with a hybrid conscience, but fails to convince as a whole.

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream

It’s more apparent than ever that the 911 GT3 is part of a famous motorsport bloodline. Another phenomenal car

The most single-minded hypercar ever to turn a wheel. Vast complication and compromise hand-in-hand with divine beauty and outlandish speed

Not cheap, and not a conventional SUV, but a thoroughly capable family wagon

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness

The car that started everything for Hyundai. A car with surprisingly British roots

Audi’s heartland hero might not have the hustle of a BMW 3 Series Touring, but it’s plenty competent and got refinement on its side

Hyundai's first full-strength performance car, and it's nailed it. Few hot hatches are this fun to drive

Slightly sharper looks, slightly sharper chassis... but otherwise refreshingly old-school. The F-Type doesn't cause any upsets. Phew

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

McLaren's third LT is its most ferocious yet. Take your brave pills and strap in

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling now as it was when it was launched in 2016

A proper all-rounder with a spec for everyone. As long as you want a medium-sized SUV, of course

A spectacularly good hot hatch that gained some extra focus we had no idea it lacked

One of the pioneering performance SUVs uses plug-in power to stay relevant in its third generation

A capable answer to a question nobody should be asking

Doesn't create a new must-have niche, or take itself too seriously, and neither should you

MG gives the previously dull-but-useful MG5 a thorough upgrade inside and out. Reveals a decent, relatively cheap, unfussy pure electric estate

Futuristic looks conceal run-of-the-mill underbits. Still, the Hyundai Staria is the acceptable face of MPVing
