car reviews

A well sorted, mature and very complete family hatchback. The new Prelude's smoother sibling

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family

A refined, capable, likeable van. But it’s not actually a Toyota. It’s French

Crossovers have become the same-iest cars ever. Why not go for one that’s a bit more left field?

While others play catch-up on EV estates, this Peugeot is the best value all-rounder you can currently buy

Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet

An eminently sensible spaceship. AI-infused with monster range and dazzling efficiency, but not exactly fizzing with excitement

A refreshingly 'normal' EV that happens to look better, go further and cost less than before. Winner

The MX-5 dishes out open-air fun at entirely legal speeds and costs peanuts to run. What more could you want?

Familiar with the Golf? No surprises here, but there are plenty more interesting options out there

This is a well-targeted car that won't frighten mainstream buyers. Its problem, strangely, is the price

The GV60 is a good quality, comfort focused EV deserving of a wider audience

The Subaru Outback goes full crossover to be more of what its customers demand

The Terramar is more aggressively styled than its competitors, but also thoroughly decent to drive

The e-3008 isn’t a revolution, but the design and interior have both improved over the old petrol car. Pity it’s not more spacious

A campervan designed by people who actually go camping. Space for four people to travel and sleep in proper comfort

Like an own-brand packet of ready salted crisps. The Geely EX5 is as plain as motoring gets

Not exactly a box-fresh car, but a thoroughly welcome one nonetheless. Follow its lead in not taking life too seriously

Facelifted fifth-gen Sportage strikes a neat balance between practicality and style. Like the looks? You'll be a fan

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

Bigger than most rivals, this is a really useful and comfy car. Those in the driver's seat will be pretty happy too
