car reviews

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside

Jeep has built a top-notch city car, with OK range and quick-enough rapid charging

Sportiness is all well and good, but there’s no harm in prioritising comfort and serenity. The e-C4 is one such car

The Austral is well trimmed, feels high tech, and uses little fuel. If you want a hybrid crossover, it's a good choice

A characterful supermini with decent levels of comfort, the C3 has ended up as a likeable little car. If not for those with choice paralysis

The C-HR handles well, looks quirky and makes a tank of fuel go a long way, but small families will quickly outgrow it

There are few crossovers as car-like to drive, but the lack of hybrid options might count against it

Citroen's little crossover has a very useful cabin, and it's more individual than many of its ilk. Pity it's not as comfy as billed

A true Nineties hero. And one that’s just as much fun to drive now as the day it was born

Seat's take on the VW Up & Skoda Citigo is a damn good EV. Though of the three, it's not the one we'd have

It'll be a perfect tool for some, but cheap plastics and an underpowered drivetrain mean it'll never be loved

It's one of the cheapest electric cars you can buy. And, happily, a good one too

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

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

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

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

The simplest and most exciting Toyota in years is also a real pleasure to drive

Mitsubishi has stolen a march on the oppo here. In practice, it's not quite so impressive

A fun car with a practical side, but no longer one of the sharpest hot hatches on sale

Citroen has made the C4 Cactus more mainstream, yet conversely it's become a more niche choice in the process

Ford EcoSport review: better-looking, better-equipped and better to drive than before
