car reviews

The Forester is undoubtedly a capable companion, but it’s let down by its pointless hybrid range and dated cabin

Reverting to an old-school soft-top plays perfectly to the Roma’s stylistic strengths. This is as pretty a car as Ferrari has ever made

Jeep has built a top-notch city car, with OK range and quick-enough rapid charging

An Audi RS that nails its basics but also sprinkles in some genuine fun. A proper E63 and M5 rival

The MG4 brings range, equipment, zippy dynamics and style to the small electric car party. Why spend more on something else?

The new Kona Electric is just as competent as before, but with more of all the good stuff. Well done Hyundai

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously overdelivers on the underpromising price...

Sorry, purists. Porsche’s bestselling car in the UK is the most complete small premium SUV money can buy

Ignore the grille, what lies behind makes the M3 the most complete sports saloon on sale today

A bunch of great updates make the Ford Mustang a sharper sports car while still staying true to its muscle car roots

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

Ticks all the grown-up sensible boxes and looks this flipping special. Tesla’s worst nightmare

The last ever petrol-powered Lotus looks fantastic and drives with precision, but not quite as much emotion as we might’ve hoped

The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport

Hyundai’s upgraded SUV takes on heavyweights and holds its own

A decent first attempt at a purpose-built EV from Lexus. Quite expensive though...

The Ford e-Transit is a joy to spend time in. The best electric van of the current breed

Jaguar stepped bravely into the unknown and nailed it. A rapid, desirable, good-looking car that happens to be powered by electricity

Mazda’s oft-overlooked Corsa rival isn’t a bad all-rounder, but is let down by its weak naturally aspirated engine range

Latest CR-V is a sensible family buy and the new PHEV option makes sense for company drivers

Smart has been reborn as a Toys R Us Mercedes. Soft-edged and comforting, but it’s yet another electric crossover and lacks a USP
