car reviews

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

While others play catch-up on EV estates, this Peugeot is the best value all-rounder you can currently buy

Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet

An eminently sensible spaceship. AI-infused with monster range and dazzling efficiency, but not exactly fizzing with excitement

A refreshingly 'normal' EV that happens to look better, go further and cost less than before. Winner

The e-3008 isn’t a revolution, but the design and interior have both improved over the old petrol car. Pity it’s not more spacious

Not exactly a box-fresh car, but a thoroughly welcome one nonetheless. Follow its lead in not taking life too seriously

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

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

Spain’s strongest attempt to out-Golf the Golf yet. A stylish, well equipped and cheaper version of its German cousin

Unpick the cringey slogans on the doors and you’ve got yourself a roomy, sensibly-priced and comfortable take on a supermini

A supermini survivor that blends diverse powertrains with strong design

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

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

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

Fiat's recast 500 is a solid, refined little electric car. But rivals are cheaper and will go further

Ticks all the rational boxes, but rivals are better to drive and more interesting

Dacia’s flagship that manages to be both value-for-money and slightly posher than other models. Useful, if not particularly flash

A likeable little city car, but comfortable enough beyond it too. Just don't expect the off-road chops you're used to from a Jeep

Finding fault with the A3 Sportback is quite hard. Right now, it’s the most roundly talented premium hatch there is

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off
