car reviews

The TT's final iteration is its best: a very good car that's easy to live with and thunderously fast in the quick version

A sensible hybrid family estate with the fuel-sipping ability of a camel. Doesn't mean we have to love it...

Top notch Japanese muscle car with a whole lot of heart. Not dynamically perfect, but in 2023 its charm continues to grow

The Tonale is styled and engineered with more verve than most of its rivals. Not perfect, but no crossovers are

Exciting looks clothe typical Toyota cleanliness and worthiness. It's still bland though

The Lexus LC is the maddest Lexus since the LFA, and backs it up with impressive dynamics… so long as you buy the V8, not the hybrid

The most compelling four-door luxury saloon on sale today

Not the EV we’d recommend, but if you like the way it looks and battery-power suits your lifestyle then by all means

No slouch and an impressive plug-in hybrid, but won’t put a smile on your face like the GTI

The CX-60 is a likeable SUV with a great interior and easy-to-use tech, but the plug-in powertrain still needs work

The B-Class is, in essence, just a tall A-Class with more rear room. The 2023 facelift is minimal. Comfy and roomy, but not as versatile as others

The facelifted DS 7 looks smart, rides well in base spec, and has a useful electric-only range, but a premium could dissuade many

BMW’s littlest SUV is no longer so little, but is hampered by its interior tech and combustion engines. iX1 is the pick of the bunch

New mid-engined Corvette C8 is a revolution, not evolution

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

It shouldn’t make any sense. But drive it for a couple of days and you realise being sensible is for other vehicles. The Hummer is about fun

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us

The Q2 is bold on the surface, but woefully unremarkable beneath it

A decent attempt at a lifestyle SUV which should come with a premium ownership experience, but doesn’t drive as well as its German rivals

BMW’s Icarus moment. The XM tries to be a luxury SUV and an ultimate M car with a hybrid conscience, but fails to convince as a whole.

Decent powertrain happily takes a back seat to dependable quality. This is where the electric vehicle hits the mainstream
