car reviews

It’s a deeply complete car, the Cayenne: practical, potent and very clever. Underneath, it’s still at the top of the class to drive

New found dynamism and modern interior help make this the most accomplished Aston Martin we’ve driven in years

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

The EQS SUV does it all but it lacks the character and supreme authority that makes the Range Rover such a lodestar

Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder

The electric future’s looking very bright for Rolls-Royce. Very probably the finest car in the world

While it might not have the visual pizazz of its predecessor, the 11th-generation Honda Civic reminds us it’s what’s inside that counts

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

The Lexus LC is the maddest Lexus since the LFA, and backs it up with impressive dynamics… so long as you buy the V8, not the hybrid

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

A brilliant GT, now with a bit more headroom

Doesn't create a new must-have niche, or take itself too seriously, and neither should you

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

Vastly improved cabin and well-mannered hybrid set-up are impressive, but the Civic might struggle to stand out in a crowded market

The Honda Civic brings some welcome colour to a sensible part of the market. Not perfect, but very interesting

Still feels like the odd one out in the BMW family. Roomy and well-appointed, but doesn’t drive well enough or offer clever solutions for family motoring

The Jimny’s ultra-honest unpretentiousness is the antidote to every beige crossover. Don’t expect sophistication, and you’ll adore it

New Ghost is a sublimely engineered, hugely charismatic motor car. Less really is more

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

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

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