car reviews

An uplifting electric van that's fun to be in and around… but it now looks menacingly expensive versus its first proper rival

Audi’s fastest Q5 is now powered by a petrol engine again, and it’s certainly not hanging around

The Ram 1500 is a versatile, accessible pickup with enough configurations to satisfy work, play or daily tasks

The Cupra Ateca is quick, practical and handles pretty well. But it's rather old now and the lack of TLC is showing

A good looking, fine driving, practical family estate. And only marginally more expensive than the hatch

This handsome four-door GT is the best car Audi makes. Rapid whichever version you choose

A proper BMW that just happens to be electric; those pioneering moves with the i3 and i8 paid off

A feelgood, immensely practical family hauler at a scarcely believable price

The Cupra Leon has universal appeal with its wide range of engine options, and the latest facelift has massively improved the interior

This isn't just a retro pastiche. The 5 is almost as joyful to use as it is to look at. Strong value cements the appeal

A quirky looking, refined little car, at home in the city and suburbs. The price is a little stiff though

What was once the ‘entry-level’ Rolls-Royce has truly arrived. A near-perfect execution of the ultimate luxury car

A very blunt instrument. But so’s a sledgehammer. And they’re pretty effective

A collector car for proper petrolheads, the Speed Six is a glorious throwback that takes no prisoners

Utterly magnificent in every way. The true bottled, distilled essence of everything wonderful about Bentley

More power, more buttons and less grille for the entry-level Prancing Horse, which could be the most satisfying of the stable

The Kia EV5 ticks all electric family SUV boxes. Just don’t expect any more than that

Not one for the drivers, but seriously rapid, efficient and a huge amount of kit for the money

The best-selling French car is back for another generation. Vive la Clio!

The second coming of the Hyundai Kona is just as radical to look at, and just as competent underneath

The baby 120 feels refined and luxurious; the M135 grippy and reassuring. If a petrol auto suits you, this is a fine car
