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

The Countryman goes green... by getting bigger and (much) heavier. Quick, distract yourself with the interior!

It’s not as off-the-wall as it used to be, but the WRX hasn’t lost what truly makes it worthwhile

About as sensible an all-rounder as a 328bhp hot hatch can be

A good SUV from Kia - quietly does all the family jobs you need, without fuss. Looks smart, too

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

Not an instant hitter like the cars that came before it, but a considerably greater all-rounder awaits those willing to give it time

The latest Elantra has enough style and convenience to pull it out of the background and into the forefront. The budget-friendly price tag doesn’t hurt either

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

The Urus hijacks hybrid power to reach hitherto unseen levels of outlandishness

Do not adjust your device: the new Prius is an object of desire

Smaller and lighter would've been lovely, but no dice. Oh well, the Countryman still hits its brief as an SUV

The 12Cilindri feels like a summation of everything Ferrari does so well in 2024 with a few unexpected twists

Polestar’s eponymous fourth model, this time with added subtraction. Of a rear ’screen

McLaren’s first V6 hybrid. Slick powertrain, plentiful power, lovely steering. All the usual McLaren attributes, but why does it look so like a 570?

Not revolutionary, but the seven-seater makes plenty of sense... if you need this sort of thing
