car reviews

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

Dacia’s flagship that manages to be both value-for-money and slightly posher than other models. Useful, if not particularly flash

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

Ignore the MG badge, this is another Chinese electric SUV that doesn’t rock the boat and isn’t a bargain

Rivian’s second swing at its EV utility vehicle trims the fat and is all the better for it

One of the automotive woodland's great oaks. As strong as ever, and now with an even better PHEV option

Skoda’s facelifted electric family SUV is better than ever. Smartened looks add to relentless competence

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

More useful than a Cybertruck, but the 1,000hp+ quad motor feels like a nod to Tesla's influence

A likeable little city car, but comfortable enough beyond it too. Just don't expect the off-road chops you're used to from a Jeep

The Volvo EX30 is a likeable and admirable car, unless you’re sat in the back of it or lost in the labyrinth that is the screen

By rights an EV cobbled together like this one ought to be rubbish. The fact that it isn’t is testament to the rescue effort Ford’s engineers have pulled off

Not as sharply styled as it once was, and its lack of individuality might perturb some. But the car’s core values mostly remain

A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV with a premium ownership experience to match

Goes, stops, and steers like a proper M special. No compromise in practicality

The Ioniq 9 is big, smooth and accomplished. Who needs an electric Range Rover?

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we want or need. For the final one per cent there is the M3 Touring

The styling is down to taste, but anyone put off will be missing out on one of the best-realised sporty EV crossovers around

If all you do is pound up and down the motorway, you *could* make a case for the MG IM5… but in any other scenario you should run a mile from it

Everything about the new Vanquish is big, and now there’s endless headroom to further amplify the experience

You might never fall in love with it, but nor will you shake your fists at it in a moment of Basil Fawlty-esque existential despair
