car reviews

One of the automotive woodland's great oaks. Stronger, crispier and all-roundier than ever before

An imperious cruiser, best sampled with vast quantities of diesely torque. Now with better tech and still available in bonkers SVR form

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

Not the most compelling hatch, but as a car for real family life, it could be brilliant

Practical, comfortable and premium. A fantastic large estate from Skoda

One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

The Volvo S90 does things differently from its German rivals, which is exactly why we like it so much

This is finally the spicier Arteon we've been waiting for

Jaguar’s little crossover is broadly competitive but loses out overall to Volvo's XC40

Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul

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

Vauxhall upgrades its mainstream hatch, makes a very competent Focus rival. Definitely worth considering

Peugeot's hot hatch renaissance continues. The 308 GTI has a joyously wild streak

Far from M Division’s finest hour. Flashy and fast, but you couldn’t live with this ride

Can BMW’s ultimate limo finally beat the Mercedes S-class, by a nose? Not quite.

Everything we've come to love about new-age Volvos in a smaller size
