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

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

Mini's crossover still sits in the family-size heartland, but there are more interesting options now available

A car that makes going fast incredibly easy. But rivals do the whole 'fun' thing much better

The all-important 0-124mph sprint takes 0.3 seconds longer than the coupe, but if we’re honest, we think we could cope with that...

A lightweight, rugged city car big on charm, and small on thirst
