car reviews

A wilfully different all-electric saloon with a lovely interior, but not one for keen drivers

Top spec models are well equipped and massively capable off-road (particularly the AT35), but on road it’s still rough around the edges

It looks the part and it's fun to drive, but Abarth’s 600e can't escape its roots

A reminder that there’s nothing – nothing – to beat a lightweight for raw thrills and excitement

Spacious, efficient supermini ruined by interfering ‘safety’ tech and soggy drive. Buy a Renault 5 (or a 4 if you need more room)

The Subaru WRX is a playful sport sedan that can scratch the performance itch without compromising its role as a daily driver.

Fearsome fast but fully driver-friendly, the drop-top 849 is Ferrari hitting its straps. Only a less-than-sparkling soundtrack lets it down

Fiat’s attempt at urban micromobility is slow, rides like it’s broken and doesn’t go very far. But it’s also impossibly chic and very cheap to lease

The follow-up to the successful DS 7 irons out some of its idiosyncrasy while standing convincingly proud of its numerous Stellantis cousins. A job decently done

The Ram TRX SRT is a powerful sport truck with amazing off-road performance that can also perform average pickup truck jobs… so long as it’s not hurling through the air

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is a comfortable cruiser, with a smart interior that feels a treat to sit in

The Infiniti QX60 is a surprisingly sporty crossover, despite its diminutive power unit

A mid-life facelift improves an already convincing car – it's neater looking and better driving than basically every crossover you can think of

The W1 is a car of singular purpose and precision, marrying advanced materials and aerodynamics to truly stunning effect

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

The latest Mazda CX-5 is a familiar recipe, the verve of its predecessor has gone AWOL

A cleverly packaged and efficient little EV, that also happens to have some proper character

It might look like a van, but the Mercedes VLE is an electric MPV that’s refined, useful, stuffed with details and desirable

Smooth, capable, practical and well made, the Outlander PHEV is an antidote to pretty much everything else of a similar size. Why did it ever leave the UK?

Audi’s best-selling model is back for a third generation, but we miss the old interior

The Mitsubishi L200 is a proper workhorse – muscular, dependable, and likely to give you a bruised bum
