AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

The seven-seater SUV market is rather crowded, but not many bring this style of hybrid tech to the party

Looks slick, drives adroitly, and bigger engines and bougier specs see it shine brightest, of course. Pity the tech spoils it

A big-hearted engine in an otherwise sensible car. The perfect seven-tenths hot hatch. We’ll miss it when it’s gone

The Countryman goes green... by getting bigger and (much) heavier. Quick, distract yourself with the interior!

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

It’s not as off-the-wall as it used to be, but the WRX hasn’t lost what truly makes it worthwhile

About as sensible an all-rounder as a 328bhp hot hatch can be

A good SUV from Kia - quietly does all the family jobs you need, without fuss. Looks smart, too

A wonderful package of practicality, refinement and comfort at a reasonable price

Not an instant hitter like the cars that came before it, but a considerably greater all-rounder awaits those willing to give it time

The latest Elantra has enough style and convenience to pull it out of the background and into the forefront. The budget-friendly price tag doesn’t hurt either

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

The new Vauxhall Grandland is an improvement on old both inside and out, but it isn’t anything groundbreaking

The Urus hijacks hybrid power to reach hitherto unseen levels of outlandishness

Do not adjust your device: the new Prius is an object of desire

The freshened Picanto proves that there's still some life left in the city car. If only more manufacturers would build them

Credit to Leapmotor for recognising that small cars have largely been abandoned. But can a fledgling brand exploit that gap?

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

Smaller and lighter would've been lovely, but no dice. Oh well, the Countryman still hits its brief as an SUV

The 12Cilindri feels like a summation of everything Ferrari does so well in 2024 with a few unexpected twists
