car reviews

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

No obvious weaknesses, a quantum leap for EVs - proves what’s possible when you start from scratch with today’s tech

Heading into the nearest Stellantis dealer to pick up a generic crossover? You might just have your head turned by the Leapmotor’s £29,995 price tag

The RS5 belongs to a world hell bent on disguising mass rather than stripping it out… nonetheless, it’s got spades of bandwidth

The Subaru Trailseeker is a compelling EV if you’re looking for a capable wagon-like crossover that can double as a weekend adventure vehicle

The reborn Prelude is a niche car underpinned by an interesting idea… now Honda needs to go and develop it even further

The Grandland Electric does what it says on the tin, but won't knock your socks off

The Sealion 5's aggressive low pricing is a big hook in this day and age, but there's no hiding where that cheapness comes from

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

It looks like a premium car and it's very practical, but the G6 is still just a bit too generic

There’s life in the executive estate yet. Simpler than a 5 Series, cheaper to buy and run than an SUV, just needs an excitement injection

Even in mid-life, the MG4 is a better drive than most mid-range EVs. That hasn't changed: the facelift is about a more pleasant cabin

The Nissan Frontier is a back-to-basics pickup that gets the job done, and does so fairly on the cheap

Toyota is lukewarm at best on EVs, and it shows in this less than mediocre effort with few redeeming qualities

The MG4 Urban isn't bad and it's certainly great value. But in no way is it aimed at people who like cars

The driver assist is infuriating and the handling isn't up to much... how badly do you want to save money?
