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

What we have here is a sensible family car that - in Twin Motor guise - happens to go like the clappers

A handsome four-door GT that plays to Audi's strengths, now with a completely bonkers turn of pace

Big, roomy and well-equipped for the price. But even though it's quick, it's not as much fun as some rivals

Dacia’s entry EV is everything you want: low cost, low weight, low impact, but lots of fun

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

A tech-heavy Touring that suits M5-ness a little better than the saloon. But it's still complex. And heavy

A desirable family hatch that just happens to be electric. Fantastic interior, too

Fashion continues to turn against hatches so the 1 Series range has shrunk. But if a petrol auto suits you, this is a fine car

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

Skoda’s mid-life facelift to the Octavia improves on an already very good car

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

Reforged Vanquish now has the poise and performance to trouble even the most aggressive supercars

The newly facelifted Skoda Octavia is the perfect antidote to every SUV out there. Better to look at, better to drive and just as practical

AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party
