car reviews

An eminently sensible spaceship. AI-infused with monster range and dazzling efficiency, but not exactly fizzing with excitement

The R4 has a sense of fun in both its looks and its driving, and feels premium. This is a very, very good value car

Lucid’s first production car draws an indelible line in the sand for electric cars. Vast performance, even vaster range

Handsome, luxurious and with the reassurance of Volvo's reputation for safety. What's not to like?

LaFerrari successor ditches the V12 but ups the ante to 1,183bhp and takes inspiration from three successive Le Mans victories

An electric SUV that's good to look at and nice to sit in, but at a price

Completely forgettable to look at and lacking in dynamic talent, but the BYD Dolphin is at least well equipped and spacious

The GT3’s evolution continues with lessons taken from the RS and S/T. And it’s available with rear seats

Finding fault with the A3 Sportback is quite hard. Right now, it’s the most roundly talented premium hatch there is

Efficient and interesting to look at, but the Yaris is one for the practical head rather than emotional heart

Very, very convincing. Handsome, luxurious, balming and stately. But awesome to drive too

Unquestionably better than its rather lumpy predecessor... but why not just go for a 3 Series instead?

This was originally meant to be called the new A7, but it’s the standard A6 recipe that we know and really quite like

Toyota aims to keep the city car alive by making it a crossover SUV thing. Your nan will like it

The Ford Ranger was already Europe’s best-selling pick-up, and on this evidence it will hold that title for a long while yet

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability

Lancia is back, and the Ypsilon is now a sensible but stylish little supermini

The Taycan Sport Turismo handles as beautifully as it looks. Practicality, on the other hand, is not this estate’s strongest suit

Exciting looks clothe typical Toyota cleanliness and worthiness. Still a bit bland though

Kia proves that forward-thinking needn’t be wacky and that sensible needn’t be boring
