car reviews

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

Audi's model mash-up project has lost a little something along the way

BYD’s most convincing entry into Europe yet. It’s a long way from exciting but it should prove cheap enough to compensate

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its price parity with the hybrid, but it's got more going for it too

MG's on the move – the ZS has come back transformed (and still cheap)

High technology and sumptuous luxury merge in spectacular fashion to deliver a car that lights the way forward

Everything good about the A3 Sportback, just a little less practical. A complete car that won't get on your nerves

Suzuki reckons it can steal small car sales now that others are backing out of the game. The new Swift is a refreshingly simple choice if you get past the looks

The Skoda Octavia vRS balances fun and liveability just as sweetly as ever

The ID.7 lacks a bit of style, but at least VW has nailed the basics this time

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off

What we have here is a sensible family car that - in Twin Motor guise - happens to go like the clappers

A handsome four-door GT that plays to Audi's strengths, now with a completely bonkers turn of pace

Big, roomy and well-equipped for the price. But even though it's quick, it's not as much fun as some rivals

Everything Bentley knows about luxury, wrapped up in an SUV. Not the prettiest, but one of the most complete

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

Kia proving that forward-thinking needn’t be wacky and that sensible needn’t be boring

The Mini Cooper is a great little car, overflowing with personality. This one just happens to be electric

A tech-heavy Touring that suits M5-ness a little better than the saloon. But it's still complex. And heavy

A desirable family hatch that just happens to be electric. Fantastic interior, too

Fashion continues to turn against hatches so the 1 Series range has shrunk. But if a petrol auto suits you, this is a fine car
