  Audi Q3

  4.2/5

  Since its launch in 2011, the Q3 has become one of Audi’s most successful models, leaving the brand with little reason to change a winning formula. Instead, the 2026 model is an evolution with sharper styling, a more modern cabin and other refinements to make it more complete than ever. We spent time with the new Audi Q3 265 TFSI to find out whether those changes have produced a more accomplished luxury SUV.

  Honda CR-V

  4.0/5

  The Honda CR-V first arrived in 1995 as a soft-roader with car-like driving characteristics, appealing to buyers as it bridged the gap between a full-size SUV and a hatchback. In its sixth generation, the CR-V has grown into a bigger SUV with more cabin space and sophisticated hybrid powertrains. We drove a plug-in hybrid CR-V for a week to find out how it compares against its rivals today.

  Mercedes G Class

  4.0/5

  When it comes to icons of the road, there are few cars quite as notable as the Mercedes G-Class. Tracing its roots back to the iconic off-roader of the 1960s, the latest ‘G-Wagen’ has all the looks of its predecessors, but with more modern materials, up-to-date engines and lots of in-car technology. Naturally, the G-Class commands a premium, but it does go some way to justifying this through its excellent materials and smooth yet punchy engine options. A recent electric model gives drivers a battery-powered option, too.

  Hyundai I10

  3.7/5

  Ever since it first arrived in the UK, way back in 2008, Hyundai’s i10 has been one of the most popular city cars around. But what is it that makes the i10 so beloved? The car builds on previous models’ basic, no-frills approach and adds modern touches that drivers have come to expect. The latest edition is stylish, surprisingly spacious and packed with features that would normally only be found on more expensive cars. The i10 is able to stand out in a crowded field, which includes the likes of the Kia Picanto and Toyota Aygo, to be a credible choice for anyone wanting a dependable everyday run-around.

  Peugeot 3008

  4.0/5

  Peugeot has taken a bold new step with the third generation of the 3008. While the previous cars were largely forgettable, the current model stands out, thanks to its striking design, futuristic interior and modern technology. The current car now sits on Stellantis’s STLA Medium platform, which means it is also available as a full EV, although plug-in hybrid and mild petrol hybrid variants are also still available. The 3008 is taking on a crowded field, which already includes the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage, but Peugeot believes its appealing blend of comfort, efficiency and innovation makes the 3008 the perfect family SUV.

  MINI John Cooper Works

  4.2/5

  As endearing as affordable petrol hot hatchbacks are, they are slowly starting to fade away. With the likes of the Ford Fiesta ST long gone, Mini is still soldiering on with the JCW, which packs a 231hp turbo petrol engine. At least on paper, it’s got everything that suggests the making of a legitimate hot hatch. However, does it really come together on a spirited drive, and more crucially, is the 2026 Mini JCW the affordable petrol hot hatch to buy today?
