BMW iX

3.8/5

The BMW iX is a car that stood at the absolute pinnacle of BMW’s EV technological prowess at the turn of the decade but has since been joined by numerous rivals. A recent mid-life refresh has bestowed the iX with an updated exterior and improved electric range in certain models. But above all else, the iX remains a spacious and comfortable SUV that is designed to swallow family life and transport it around in the most relaxing manner possible. It does so while offering an array of cutting-edge in-car technologies, a classy cabin and the ability to charge its batteries quickly.

Peugeot 408

3.9/5

Introduced in 2023, the Peugeot 408 offers buyers an unconventional blend of coupé-inspired styling and SUV practicality, with bold, angular design influences, innovative features, and a focus on refinement and efficiency. Built on the EMP2 V3 platform, shared with models like the Peugeot 308 and Citroën C5 X, the range includes a choice of efficient petrol engines and advanced plug-in hybrids, but there is no diesel derivative. The 408’s rivals include the Renault Arkana, Citroën C5 X, and even premium options like the Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake, as it has a high-quality, premium feel that has been core to Peugeot’s brand transformation in the 2020s.

Toyota Land Cruiser

4.1/5

Built in the toughest tradition and very much in the mould of Land Cruisers before it, right down to its unashamedly retro styling, the latest model is a robust and rugged 4x4 and will appeal to those who may be looking at an Ineos Grenadier or Mercedes GL, as well as the Land Rover Defender. It’s more workmanlike than most of those rivals, though, and that’s no bad thing, as its go-anywhere nature is very much core to the Land Cruiser’s appeal.

Ford Focus

4.0/5

The Ford Focus has been providing reliable and good-looking transport to the masses for decades, which is why it was so surprising when Ford announced that it would be discontinued in 2025. However, the Focus remains a great all-rounder, while later mild-hybrid cars bring added efficiency. It is also one of the most sensible used cars you can buy today.

BYD Dolphin

3.5/5

The BYD Dolphin is a serious contender in the small electric hatchback market, undercutting rivals from Hyundai and Citroen on price but still delivering an impressive amount of kit for the money. Just over £30,000 buys a 60.4kWh battery that delivers an impressive combined range of 265-miles, while this compact hatchback boasts enough performance to keep everyone happy.

Ford Mustang

4.0/5

Bringing a true slice of Americana to the UK, the Ford Mustang brings everything you’d expect from a V8-powered muscle car. Old-school looks combined with big performance and a raucous exhaust note to make this a throwback with lots of the latest tech. The Mustang has evolved over time and in its current guise, it is one of the more accomplished GT cars out there.
