car reviews

A heroically talented go-anywhere, do-anything family SUV. Just be sure you *need* this much space and ability

The Renault 5 spawns a hot-hatch with reasonable results. Decent enough, but not a latterday Renaultsport Clio

Cadillac’s all-electric Escalade is a solid addition to the lineup, with great range and luxury accoutrements that succeeds in spite of itself

The Terramar is more aggressively styled than its competitors, but also thoroughly decent to drive

The Lexus LM is here to gatecrash the world of VVIP travel, one A-lister at a time

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

This isn't just a retro pastiche. The 5 is almost as joyful to use as it is to look at. Strong value cements the appeal

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

VW decided the seven-seat Tiguan needed its own unique treatment… the end result is the Tayron

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

Very, very convincing. Handsome, luxurious, balming and stately. But awesome to drive too

The Ioniq 9 is big, smooth and accomplished. Who needs an electric Range Rover?

A high-tech showcase of everything BMW can do. Now with more power and additional range

Want a slightly taller Mazda 3 with extra wheelarch cladding? We've got the perfect car for you...

The Alfa Junior is a lot of fun in Veloce form… just know the range means you’ll be having that fun briefly

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability

Latest generation of VW’s best-selling model plays things with a straight bat. Not a thriller, but nor is it designed to be

Unquestionably better than its rather lumpy predecessor... but why not just go for a 3 Series instead?

As good as front-driven BMWs get, but arguably not as stylish as its sub-niche requires

The Toyota Sequoia’s a luxury tank with room for eight people, albeit one you’ll pay handsomely for

No major compromises versus the hard-top, and the V12 symphony is that bit closer to your eardrums. Find a tunnel, apply throttle, be happy
