Beautiful to look at and listen to, but still a proper challenge to drive. Forget 1,000bhp hyper-exotics – this is what loving cars is all about

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose

The Velar majors on style but it's still a useful car. It's roomy enough for a family, not so big it's awkward in cities, and capable of unusual off-road feats

Does things differently to the Germans - a safe way to move a family around in style

Goes in a different direction to the German alternatives, with convincing success.

Land Rover plays with a winning formula just enough. The Evoque remains a stylish, accomplished choice

The Evoque is pretty much all we hoped it’d be, a crossover to fall for.

A good-natured daily driver that's rare, looks sporty and offers lots to enjoy. But it's pricey

Jaguar’s little crossover aims to storm a competitive set with F-Type-inspired looks inside and out, and an engaging drive

A refreshing niche that ain’t a crossover, but not as sporty as billed

The Grandland X is a good car, but not a great car. However, that doesn’t matter so much in the SUV class

It's taken Volkswagen a surprising amount of time to get here, but finally we have a Golf Estate that's up with the best.

Suffers from exactly the same flaw as every other Infiniti – the only reason you’d buy one is because it’s rare-groove different. Not necessarily better.

Ticks every cost-effective box, and quite refined. Still tricky to be enthusiastic about, though

Brilliant, fearsomely potent, and never less than addictive to drive.

Kia improves things yet again. Refinement, styling and interior quality are nearly as good as anything out there. Nearly…
