car reviews

It might be a bit quirky for some, but quiet EV power really suits the Lexus vibe

VW’s tiniest, cheapest hot hatch has similar horsepower and weight to the original Mk1 Golf GTI. Time to party like it’s 1975

It's cheap, sure, but the rest of it won't make you run away screaming

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 Leon Cupra has come of age. The mix of civility and pace is as good as anything out there

It's easy to see why this is many people's default hot hatch

Vauxhall upgrades its mainstream hatch, makes a very competent Focus rival. Definitely worth considering

Cheap, but doesn't always feel it. The Korando is coming of age

Peugeot's hot hatch renaissance continues. The 308 GTI has a joyously wild streak

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

A perfect illustration of why the world is being taken over by crossovers.

Camry makes an underwhelming return to the UK. It'll make a decent Uber, but you wouldn’t want to own one

Your nan’s supermini handles like the proverbial go-kart, but ain’t as complete as a Fiesta

A thoroughly capable family car that handles far better than it really needs to

Forgettable engine and transmission in a sporty-looking package. A sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport

Everything we've come to love about new-age Volvos in a smaller size

Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape
