car reviews

VW’s smallest ID with big-car ideas. An excellent all-rounder, even if it is a little bit vanilla in the styling. Satisfying rather than sexy

Latest Vauxhall Grandland is an improvement, but it's not very exciting

An electric estate for hatchback money. Just a shame it's a bit lifeless to drive and rear legroom barely grows

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Bosh. What more do you want?

Spacious, efficient supermini ruined by interfering ‘safety’ tech and soggy drive. Buy a Renault 5 (or a 4 if you need more room)

Fiat’s attempt at urban micromobility is slow, rides like it’s broken and doesn’t go very far. But it’s also impossibly chic and very cheap to lease

A cleverly packaged and efficient little EV, that also happens to have some proper character

We wonder what Peugeot and Vauxhall bosses think of the B05. It goes further than their electric hatches and costs less

Do you know someone who owns a Jaecoo 5? Offer them a hot beverage and a consoling hug. There, there

Peugeot’s biggest SUV looks the part, has a funky cabin and it’ll comfortably seat seven, too

The third gen 3008 looks tremendous inside and out. But enough to cost more than a Sportage or Kuga?

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

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

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price, making the cheaper EV hard to overlook

Unpick the cringey slogans on the doors and you’ve got yourself a roomy, sensibly-priced and comfortable take on a supermini

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

The R4 has a sense of fun in both its looks and its driving, and feels premium. This is a very, very good value car

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

Among an abundance of small SUVs, the 2008, with its eye-catching looks and great interior tech, is one of the most interesting

The electric 500 convertible is compromised, but that won't diminish its appeal to fans
