Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

How do you keep the muscle car faithful happy when you’ve got an electric powertrain? Throw some ideas at the wall and see if they stick…

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price… and for that reason it’s hard to look past the identically priced electric variant

Interesting in design inside and out and supremely practical. There isn’t much the Hyundai Santa Fe can’t do

Audi’s version of the electric Porsche Macan is a tour de force of waftiness. Just don’t ask for more from it than that

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

Audi's model mash-up project has lost a little something along the way

BYD’s most convincing entry into Europe yet. It’s a long way from exciting but it should prove cheap enough to compensate

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its price parity with the hybrid, but it's got more going for it too

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

MG's on the move – the ZS has come back transformed (and still cheap)

High technology and sumptuous luxury merge in spectacular fashion to deliver a car that lights the way forward

Everything good about the A3 Sportback, just a little less practical. A complete car that won't get on your nerves

Suzuki reckons it can steal small car sales now that others are backing out of the game. The new Swift is a refreshingly simple choice if you get past the looks

Merc’s facelifted V-Class remains the business-class express in the MPV market... but is let down by its van-like dynamics and eye-watering price

A great everyday family car, and possibly the best electric seven-seater yet that isn't silly money

The Skoda Octavia vRS balances fun and liveability just as sweetly as ever

Plainer to drive than it is to look at, but a fine, good-looking, surprisingly spacious estate

The ID.7 lacks a bit of style, but at least VW has nailed the basics this time

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off

A Maserati convertible that’s every bit as good as those words sound. Engaging, well-engineered and effortlessly chic
