car reviews

Dacia’s entry EV is everything you want: low cost, low weight, low impact, but lots of fun

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

Porsche nails the mid-sized electric SUV. No huge technological leaps, but absolutely solid in all areas. Best-in-class

Skoda’s mid-life facelift to the Octavia improves on an already very good car

Everything you need is in the Dacia Duster, and a lot of what you don't, isn't. Good

Reforged Vanquish now has the poise and performance to trouble even the most aggressive supercars

The newly facelifted Skoda Octavia is the perfect antidote to every SUV out there. Better to look at, better to drive and just as practical

AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party

The Countryman goes green... by getting bigger and (much) heavier. Quick, distract yourself with the interior!

It’s not as off-the-wall as it used to be, but the WRX hasn’t lost what truly makes it worthwhile

About as sensible an all-rounder as a 328bhp hot hatch can be

A good SUV from Kia - quietly does all the family jobs you need, without fuss. Looks smart, too

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

Not an instant hitter like the cars that came before it, but a considerably greater all-rounder awaits those willing to give it time

The latest Elantra has enough style and convenience to pull it out of the background and into the forefront. The budget-friendly price tag doesn’t hurt either

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

The Urus hijacks hybrid power to reach hitherto unseen levels of outlandishness

Do not adjust your device: the new Prius is an object of desire
