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

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

One of the pioneering performance SUVs uses plug-in power to stay relevant in its third generation

A car that makes going fast incredibly easy. But rivals do the whole 'fun' thing much better

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is a comfortable cruiser and more practical than expected, with its smart interior a sure crowd pleaser

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

It's comfy, it drives well, it's got performance *and* eco options... There's really not much to criticise

The Taycan Sport Turismo handles as beautifully as it looks, but we're not convinced it sufficiently outperforms the Cross Turismo

BMW’s four-wheel-drive-only four-seat convertible, now with a fabric roof and some serious chops when it comes to going fast. That’ll be the 500+ bhp, then

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

The Boxster isn't going to awe you or overpower you. It simply works with you in a deeply satisfying way

If sheer refinement is what matters to you in a luxury car, this is the new champion. The EQS fuses Merc’s old school lux with new-age propulsion

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

This is the best Grand Cherokee Jeep has ever produced. And it’s one that is now more than capable of squaring up to the competition

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

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

The most convincing DS. Tried all the German best-sellers? Here’s a thoughtful alternative

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

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

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul
