car reviews

Mini-me EQS that's comfier than its big brother. Would be more relaxing if the tech was less overwhelming

Sound the fanfare, it's a rear-drive Alfa that's rather good indeed. Updated tech helps too

Light on practicality, but otherwise the most complete sports estate available today. And one of the best electric cars, too

New mid-engined Corvette C8 is a revolution, not evolution

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

The Audi A6 Avant makes a compelling case for itself, but doesn’t quite match up to the all-round excellence of the BMW 5 Series Touring

As practical as a pair of lead water wings, but one of the most entertaining cars ever built

An imperious cruiser, best sampled with vast quantities of diesely torque. Now with better tech and still available in bonkers SVR form

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Looks good, lowers the heart rate and comes with some reasonably cost-effective engines. A winning combination, slightly fussy facelift details aside

The posh cabriolet market isn't huge. Perhaps the E-Class's utter dominance is to blame

Alfa's love letter to the fast saloon doesn't make rational sense, but it doesn't matter: it's very, very special

Lambo at its wildest. Supercapacitor technology plays second fiddle to mighty V12, handling more fluent than you might expect

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

Porsche's hybrid masterpiece, the most complete car in the Holy Trinity

As an object lesson in corralling the discordant forces of petrol and electricity, it’s stunning

The M3 coupe's changed name and gained not only two turbos, but one of the most aggressive driving experiences on sale

The base engines are gruff, but the handling is as sweet as ever. Very few sports cars are this complete

Beautiful up top, focused below. Maybe not quite as unique as it once was, but still a glorious item to behold

Can BMW’s ultimate limo finally beat the Mercedes S-class, by a nose? Not quite.

Practical and liveable, but also blooming good to drive. The 911 is *the* all-round sports car
