  Volvo EX40

  3.9/5

  Volvo has set its sights on true electrification and this car - the Volvo EX40 - has formed a part of the Swedish firm’s plans. To make things easier to work out, a recent naming change brought Volvo’s compact electric models closer into line with its combustion cars, hence the C40 became the EC40 and the XC40 became EX40. With its typically Scandinavian feel, the EX40 remains a classy option within the electric car market.

  Toyota GR Yaris

  4.5/5

  The Toyota GR Yaris arrived in late 2020, right after the pandemic. And it was unlike any other hot hatch out there. Being a rally homologation special, this Toyota was one of the rare specials. Receiving rave reviews, it proved to be a legitimate rally car clothed in your next-door Yaris attire. Now in its second generation, it is more of an evolution with refinements to make it even better. Has that idea crystallised? Is the Toyota GR Yaris still the best hot hatch out there?

  Mercedes GLC

  3.9/5

  Launched as a replacement to the GLK, the GLC is designed to bring increased comfort and style to the mid-sized family SUV segment. It has gone on to become one of Mercedes’ best-selling models worldwide and an absolute cornerstone of its segment. Now in its second generation, the latest GLC launched back in 2022 with the purpose of building on that success. Sitting on an all-new platform, it is packed with cutting-edge technology and a choice of powertrains, which make it more than a worthy rival for the likes of the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus RX.

  SEAT Ibiza

  3.9/5

  The Ibiza name dates back some 40 years, and over that time the supermini has become a by-word for fun and style, and has been a hit amongst younger customers. It's a top choice with used car buyers, slotting nicely alongside cars like the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Hyundai i20. Part of the Ibiza's appeal to used car buyers is its mechanicals. In more recent times it’s been closely related to the Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Fabia, but has leant more on driver appeal and high equipment levels compared to its sisters. The current fifth-generation car has been on sale since 2017 but was updated in 2021 and 2025 to keep it feeling fresh against newer competition.

  Vauxhall Grandland

  3.5/5

  When the original Grandland first appeared in Vauxhall showrooms back in 2017, it marked something of a turning point for the British brand. After years of trying to compete at the budget end of the market, the car set out to go head-to-head with the best vehicles on offer in the fiercely contested family SUV market. While that original car may not have quite been up to the task, the latest offering represents a major step forward. Launched in 2024, the second-generation car is built on Stellantis’ advanced STLA Medium platform, which is also utilised in the likes of the Peugeot 3008, 5008 and Jeep Compass. Here is everything you need to know about the new Grandland.

  Dacia Sandero

  3.7/5

  Ever since first arriving in the UK back in the early 2010s, Dacia has been on a mission to prove that motoring needn’t be complicated. The Romanian brand has spent the years since challenging the stigma that seems to exist around cars with bargain-basement price tags, aiming to prove that cheap can indeed be cheerful. You could think of the outfit as the automotive equivalent of Lidl or Aldi and nowhere is this approach clearer than on its humble little hatchback – the Sandero. Now in its third generation, the current Sandero does add a number of more premium touches than previous models but its ethos of keeping things simple and affordable remains at the heart of everything the car does.
