car reviews

Very popular and with good reason: the Q5 is a posh family crossover done well

The Solterra plays to Subaru's strengths, and while it's not the best all-round EV out there, it's more engaging than you might expect

Crossover'd A-Class is an improvement on the old one and will no doubt sell very well. But a GLB is the better choice

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

Sorry, purists. Porsche’s bestselling car in the UK is the most complete small premium SUV money can buy

A bunch of great updates make the Ford Mustang a sharper sports car while still staying true to its muscle car roots

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

Hyundai’s upgraded SUV takes on heavyweights and holds its own

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

Latest CR-V is a sensible family buy and the new PHEV option makes sense for company drivers

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP

The first purpose-built Skoda EV nails the brief. Incredibly convincing alternative to its VW group rivals

More fun than a crossover, roomy, comfortable, efficient and importantly, it's got character and is likeable

A solid electric car for people who are looking for a solid electric car experience

The Cupra Ateca is quick, practical and handles pretty well. But it suffers in comparison with its younger, smarter sibling

Honda’s hybrid powertrain is still impressive, but just get it in the Civic rather than messing about with a heavier, uglier SUV

With so much Giulia DNA, the Stelvio was bound to be good. At last an Alfa to buy with your heart *and* head

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Just don't expect it to excel at anything

The 408 turns out to be a tempting concept that drives more engagingly than most crossovers

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