What are the best new cars to buy in the UK today? The 2018 New Car Awards have the answer...

It’s been another amazing 12 months in the automotive industry. Yet again, the pace of progress has wowed us, with the world’s car manufacturers battling each other to keep pace with the expanding, shifting demands of car buyers just like you.

As always seems to be the case, standards which we couldn’t imagine being beaten last year have been surpassed and new benchmarks have been set right across the car market. Whether you’re shopping for a city car or a supercar, the options at your disposal today are clearly advanced from where they were only 12 months ago. Technology, safety, performance, efficiency, comfort, space, design, value; new cars just never stop advancing and keeping up with the pace of change isn’t easy. That is where we come in.
