This is it: the Big Bang moment of the passenger car

Smart, likeable supermini that bodes reasonably well for the i20N

In standard form, the i30 is as comfy and effortless to own as small hatchbacks get, if not very entertaining to drive. Mild-hybrid tech is smoothly integrated

One of the smallest cars on sale makes a good case for itself if you seek simplicity

Good looking, spacious and well equipped, but the wow-factor is only surface-deep

Looks the business, decent to drive and relatively practical, but still likely to be a rare sight on UK roads

This swaggering 616bhp monsterwagen is what we get instead of an M5 Touring

Bored of your tired ol' Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? Welcome to the new Toyo-zuki successor

Simultaneously frenzied and approachable, the 812 is a remarkable achievement. Roof on or off

The Fortwo is like a hypercar: great in its chosen environment, and pretty rubbish elsewhere

The TRX is the new apex predator of the truck world

Life's pretty great inside the new 4, not just because you don't have to look at it

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

The strangest of the ‘Squared’ series that demonstrates just how good electric is off-road. It just needs to make it to production now…

It might be a bit quirky for some, but quiet EV power really suits the Lexus vibe

Handsome, quick, comfy and ultra exclusive. There's a heck of a lot to like here

Porsche's hybrid masterpiece, the most complete car in the Holy Trinity

AMG applies the Black Series treatment to the GT R. The most track-focused Black Series yet

Go have a look at one of these before you stick a deposit down on that crossover. A fine little estate

Updated E63 gains comfort, still mighty to drive. A win-win for the best super-saloon of them all

It looks good, and it makes you feel good. What more do you need?
