car reviews

Like your cars straightforward, fuss-free, and practical? You’ll really like this. (Very) quietly excellent without ever being memorable.

A perfect illustration of why the world is being taken over by crossovers.

Camry makes an underwhelming return to the UK. It'll make a decent Uber, but you wouldn’t want to own one

Your nan’s supermini handles like the proverbial go-kart, but ain’t as complete as a Fiesta

A thoroughly capable family car that handles far better than it really needs to

Renault’s Qashqai rival is conveniently a rebodied… Qashqai. A fine appliance for family transport

Everything we've come to love about new-age Volvos in a smaller size

Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals

Facelifted Sportage gains mild hybrid diesel tech, but it’s not enough to radically alter the class landscape

The 500 looks tempting and fun where so many cars in this segment are drab.

A convincing mini-A8, but not as complete as the brilliant BMW 5 Series

Fun to drive, fun to operate and cheap to run. Other city cars are cleverer, but it's still competitive

The latest version of the car that defined the premium hatch sector stays classy

A fun car with a practical side, but no longer one of the sharpest hot hatches on sale

GTI Mk1 gave birth to a era of hot hatchery. And for that, we thank it

BMW X1 review: by going transverse-engined the X1 has become technically less distinctive, but more useful in the real world.

Citroen has made the C4 Cactus more mainstream, yet conversely it's become a more niche choice in the process

Audi’s four-frameless-doored ‘coupe’ is back, with A8 limo tech. It’s an ultra-refined, if soulless, tech express

Ford EcoSport review: better-looking, better-equipped and better to drive than before

Takes the fight to the Ford Galaxy with sliding doors and an accommodating cabin.

Facelift X-Trail is softer and more sophisticated, but still more agricultural than class best
