car reviews

If you have a big family and aren't dead-set on a crossover, go look at an S-Max. Not glam, but good to drive and hugely practical

It’s big, it’s spacious, it’s comfortable, but van-like looks and a limited 143-mile range may prove too much of a turn off for some

Makes a broadly good first impression with its S-Class-grade tech and comfy cabin. Final verdict to come once we've driven a UK car

An enormously well-rounded true four-seat cabrio… but open cars are all about style. Does this have the right kind?

A coupe-ified SUV that isn't massively less practical than the car on which it's based. But you still want the SUV

The culmination of decades of work for Toyota, but it's for very specialist cases and hydrogen cheerleaders only

Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks

Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir

Bored of your tired ol' Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? Welcome to the new Toyo-zuki successor

Life's pretty great inside the new 4, not just because you don't have to look at it

It'll be a perfect tool for some, but cheap plastics and an underpowered drivetrain mean it'll never be loved

A clever bit of engineering wrapped up in a tedious package

Yes, it’s effectively a van with windows. But it’s also magnificent

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

A comfortable, efficient way to do a big SUV if you can’t plug-in

As the years have streaked by and the zeitgeist for sports cars has become ‘complicate and add horsepower’, Lotus has managed to retain what really matters when you’re driving just for the fun of it

Heartland Audi, now with (shock!) semi-controversial looks and crowd-pleasing tech

Like your cars straightforward, fuss-free, and practical? You’ll really like this. (Very) quietly excellent without ever being memorable.

Far from M Division’s finest hour. Flashy and fast, but you couldn’t live with this ride

Judged appropriately, the Plus 4 is a charming tonic to the grumpy, cynical modern world

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