You might never fall in love with it, but nor will you shake your fists at it in a moment of Basil Fawlty-esque existential despair

A coupe that'll warm the hearts of traditionalists, but it's a little too closely aligned to the bigger 4 Series Coupe

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

An Audi for people who like Audis – you could do much worse

DS makes something inevitably different from the German opposition, and surprisingly different from the rest of Stellantis's stuff

Bigger, but not necessarily better – the new A5 keeps the spirit of the old A4 alive

A fine, relaxing executive saloon. Provided you’re able to ignore the distracting tech. And coarse four cylinder engine

Looks slick, drives adroitly, and bigger engines and bougier specs see it shine brightest, of course. Pity the tech spoils it

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

Mercedes takes the 45 years of G-Wagen and succeeds in making a vehicle that feels like an electric G-Wagen, if not a light-footed EV

The updated RS3 is the best one yet. Although you’ll need to spend time getting the best out of it

Audi’s fastest Q5 is now powered by a petrol engine again, and it’s certainly not hanging around

A very balanced SUV. Comfy, quiet, practical, none too sporty and all the better for it. More an XC90 rival than an X5 fighter

The world’s best-selling car gets a serious update in this second-generation. But is it enough to keep it at the top of the charts?

A handsome saloon or estate that doesn’t try too hard to be an aero car

The 911 remains the definitive sports car. Hybrid GTS is an engineering nerd’s dream, or pick the Carrera for simple pleasures

Mercedes-Benz does enough to make the G-Wagen a strangely compelling product… even in 2024. You either get it, or you don’t

It's as solid as ever, but some cheap plastics and a ponderous petrol engine have let the side down a bit

Audi’s version of the electric Porsche Macan is a tour de force of waftiness. Just don’t ask for more from it than that

Audi's model mash-up project has lost a little something along the way
