car reviews

A Mazda like no other, but there are glimmers of the firm’s dynamic sparkle if you look hard enough

The Arona is a decent enough small crossover, but a very minor facelift means it’s starting to feel a little tired

There's nothing quite like it, and it's good. But there are roomier and lairier rivals

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price, making the cheaper EV hard to overlook

This was originally meant to be called the new A7, but it’s the standard A6 recipe that we know and really quite like

The Ibiza is a likeable supermini... but it feels a little dated and struggles to stand out alongside its sibling rivals

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its VFM price tag, but it's got more going for it too

The reborn Prelude is hardly a thriller, but we love its meticulous engineering and simple existence

A truly formidable achievement that's as amiable on road as it is astonishing on track

Heading into the nearest Stellantis dealer to pick up a generic crossover? You might just have your head turned by the Leapmotor’s £29,995 price tag

Wholly different from the hybrid C-HR, but does just the same job. Only it's electric

A feelgood, immensely practical family hauler at a scarcely believable price

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

Y’know the Clio, yeah? Like that. But bigger. Roomier. And more expensive
