car reviews

Credit to Leapmotor for giving the city car some love. Too bad the T03 lacks our favourite small car traits...

Unpick the cringey slogans on the doors and you’ve got yourself a roomy, sensibly-priced and comfortable take on a supermini

The Fiat Grande Panda does so much for so little, and carries it off with an air of panache

Citroen's hatch isn't like all the rest and plays big on comfort. Plus, it's still not quite a crossover

Manages to be pretty good at everything without being exceptional at anything, but it’ll be a doddle to live with

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price… and for that reason it’s hard to look past the identically priced electric variant

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its price parity with the hybrid, but it's got more going for it too

Suzuki reckons it can steal small car sales now that others are backing out of the game. The new Swift is a refreshingly simple choice if you get past the looks

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

A refined and good looking little car, at home in the city and suburbs. Price a little stiff though

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

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

The freshened Picanto proves that there's still some life left in the city car. If only more manufacturers would build them

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

A comprehensive little supermini that holds its own against the competition

VW’s coupe-crossover will win some fans for its sportier looks, but otherwise it’s easily forgettable

If you’re not quite ready to go electric yet then you could do a lot worse than the baby Skoda

The best supermini to drive, and arguably the class leader. But the supermini class isn’t what it once was and the Clio is missing its joie de vivre

Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but it won’t tug your heartstrings

The Citroen e-C3 is a likeable little thing, offering good comfort, a useable real world range, and an impressively low price tag
