car reviews

Toyota's pick-up walks the tightrope between lifestyle cool and hard as nails utility

Top spec models are well equipped and massively capable off-road (particularly the AT35), but on road it’s still rough around the edges

The AMG One delivers on the dream of an F1 engine in a road car. It’s simultaneously flawed, an ill-advised folly and one of the most fascinating machines ever made

Peugeot has rolled the dice on design, inside and out... but on top of that there’s quality of execution

From generic corporate parts, Citroen has made something likeably honest in its role as a comfy and useful member of your family.

Future-proofed European Jeep is a pretty blameless car and well priced. But it feels like a box-ticking exercise to us

A solid and likeable evolution amid an SUV market undergoing revolution

Nissan has turned over a new Leaf. Yup, inevitable headline is justified by the facts

Like the sedan, the Toyota Corolla Cross is functional and affordable, but little more

By focusing on luxury over performance, the Cadillac Lyriq succeeds as a useful, comfortable and elegant electric SUV

Quirky, comfortable hatchback and cheaper than most rivals. Perhaps the e-C3 is more interesting, though

European design and engineering means it looks and drives better than rival Chinese-brand crossovers. But not enough to overcome annoying screen and inefficiency

New electric Micra feels smart and drives well - just like the R5 whose homework it copied

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

Several years after launch, an updated ID.5 charms us more than the launch car

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

The GMC Yukon is a dutiful family hauler with enough upmarket qualities to make it a go-to for all sorts of tasks

The larger Chery launch car gives you three rows for reasonable value – but with caveats

Ford grabs a VW platform and puts its own spin on it. Arguably with better results

The Kia K4 is a fresh face in a segment that’s going strong despite the crossover takeover

Forgettable to look at, lacking in dynamic talent, and no cheaper than rivals. Avoid the electric versions
