In-depth reviews

The VW Passat Estate is a refined, comfortable and hugely versatile family car

The Ford Focus ST is neither the fastest nor the cheapest hot hatch, but it’s up there with the very best

The Mercedes A-Class is a premium hatch that is full of quality, with great on-board technology and a range of frugal engines

The DS 7 SUV offers a touch of French luxury to take on its established German rivals

The retro-styled Honda e provides a cool, classy take on the small electric car, although it's expensive to buy

The BMW X4 offers a little extra style over its X3 sibling, but it's more expensive and sacrifices practicality

The MINI Clubman is a fun, small estate that's well-built and powered by a great range of engines – but it's not that practical

The handsome Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a sporty SUV that's good to drive, but it's expensive to buy and run compared to some rivals

The new Mercedes Citan is a solid all rounder, available with diesel and electric power

Hyundai’s first attempt at a hot hatchback is close to being a class-leading one, despite well-established competition

Toyota’s tiny pseudo-SUV might be a charming city car, but it costs as much as cars in the class above

The Ford Focus is a great-handling family hatchback that matches its rivals on interior quality and cabin space

All 911s have impressive performance, but different engines respond in different ways

Stringent emissions regulations continue to put the squeeze on Porsche’s engines, but that does yield improved efficiency

The 911’s rear-engined layout yields more practicality due to small back seats and a decent front boot

Honed engine, chassis and interior tech – plus reputation for longevity on the race track – mean the 911 should be reliable

More digital functionality gives the new 911 a cleaner, less cluttered feel, while there’s more tech on offer too

Big on range and performance, practical and stylish – the Hyundai Kona Electric is a fantastic EV

The Hyundai Kona has funky looks and great on-board tech, although isn't as good to drive as the class leaders

The low-slung and less than practical BMW X2 is an SUV oddity, but it’s stylish and good to drive

If you want a ludicrously quick crossover with all-electric drive and quirky doors, the Tesla Model X is it

It’s not a proper MPV, but the Mercedes B-Class boasts a spacious and classy cabin

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is seductively stylish, offering rear-drive thrills and plenty of Italian charm

You’ll be impressed with the premium feel of the Mercedes EQA, but versatile rivals offer a more complete all-electric package

Honda offers the HR-V with a clever hybrid setup, but its e-CVT transmission isn’t the best

The HR-V offers strong real-world economy, but it’s expensive to buy compared with some close rivals

Stylish looks, decent levels of standard kit and improved onboard technology mean the HR-V is an appealing small family SUV

The boot is smaller than before, but the HR-V offers plenty of flexible cabin space

Safety kit for the HR-V is impressive, while Honda has achieved encouraging feedback in our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the most luxurious SUV (lots of) money can buy

Impressive to drive and an improvement on the old SL, but AMG development doesn’t make it a sports car

The MC20 is a real return to form for Maserati, and bears comparison with the very best supercars

The new Emira isn’t a game-changer, but it’s attractive, good to drive, and better-built than any Lotus before it

The Toyota GR86 is a bargain sports car that’s both usable and thrilling – but it’s already sold out

A quality interior, great efficiency and strong on-board tech mean that the Mercedes C-Class is a hugely impressive compact executive saloon

The Land Rover Discovery Sport combines seven-seat practicality, go-anywhere performance and premium style
