The benchmark for all other sports cars to aspire to
Drivers of sports cars have high expectations for their vehicles, and the GR Supra lives up to those expectations in both terms of performance and handling. However, it is unexpectedly good in other aspects as well, including being comfortable enough for long-distance travel and giving a considerable amount of space inside. It is an outstanding sports coupé in every respect and a Which? Best Buy.

Full hybrid
Comparative verdict: cosy, but high maintenance and operating costs
If you are looking for the pinnacle of executive transportation, the LS is nearly impossible to outdo. However, because it was never submitted to the crash testing conducted by Euro NCAP while it was still in its brand-new state, we are unable to endorse it.
Pros
Extremely quiet and pleasant
Excellent ride quality and handling balance.
Cons that are completely stocked Pros
Exorbitant costs of operation

The conclusion is that it does not live up to expectations.
Given the exceedingly high purchase price, we would expect it to be extremely close to perfect; yet, there is no doubt that it is an excellent luxury executive cruiser. Unfortunately, it does not live up to expectations.
The benefits are that it is roomy and opulent.
Suspension that is easy on the body
Outstanding passive and active safety features
Cons
Extremely expensive both to purchase and maintain.
Limited functionality due to the cramped boot

Identifying characteristics
SUV of a Compact or Small Size

The conclusion is that this all-electric SUV is really convincing.
The Kia Soul EV may sway your opinion in the event that range anxiety has prevented you from purchasing an electric vehicle in the past. It can go a considerable distance on a single charge, has very low operating expenses, and produces no emissions from the tailpipe. It is not just good to the environment, but it is also a family car that is substantially capable, and it is a Which? Best Buy.
Pros Long range

Spacious with a guarantee for seven years
Cons

verdict: A remarkable EV model
The e-Niro heralds in a new era of electric transportation by firmly putting an end to range anxiety issues while also providing very low operating expenses and zero emissions from the tailpipe. It is not as inexpensive as chips, but it is more affordable than many electric cars, and it makes a strong argument for itself as environmentally responsible family transportation. It is a well-deserved That or Which? Best Buy.
Pros
Long range

Warranty that lasts seven years.
Cons
A little bit costly.

Full hybrid
In light of the evidence, careful evaluation is recommended.
A motor vehicle that stands out from its competitors by virtue of the unique qualities it possesses. The GS is an excellent candidate for inclusion on shortlists, despite the fact that its fuel efficiency is not as fantastic as one might anticipate from a hybrid.
The ride is quite soft and comfortable.

Large Amount of New Electricity Available
Compare and contrast the verdict: an electrifying competitor from Volvo’s premium brand
The performance of the Polestar 2 is quite remarkable. It is highly secure and uncomplicated to operate, it has an uncomplicated menu system, and the interior has a really upscale feel to it. However, there are some clouds in the sky due to the fact that the energy consumption is quite high and the tested range is in no way comparable to what is claimed. In spite of these concerns, Which? has awarded the Polestar 2 with their Best Buy rating.
Pros Superb performance
Well-equipped
Feeling of high-quality and safety Pros and Cons
High amount of required energy

The judgement is in: a secondhand SUV that is both comfortable and sumptuous
Even while the RX450h is not quite capable of living up to its environmental claims, it is still pretty efficient, and the fact that it is a hybrid may spare you some of the disapproving looks that can come with owning a 4×4. The fact that this particular model of the RX was not put through the paces of the Euro NCAP testing process is the only reason why it is not a Best Buy. Cars that have been on the market for longer than four years but have not been evaluated by Euro NCAP are ineligible for Best Buy status going forward.
Pros
A pleasant and comfortable environment
Negative aspects of hybrid technology
Not as green as one might have anticipated.

Identifying characteristics
Large Vehicles that can only run on gasoline, diesel, or a mild hybrid
Compare verdict: A more practical 5 Series
The question is, Which? Best Buy. If there is one thing that the GT hatchback is about, it is about being practical. Despite this, the amount of room in the trunk is unsatisfactory, and folding the back seats is not a simple option. The GT drives fairly similarly to the other models in the 5 Series range, which means that the driving experience is excellent. However, the price of the GT is higher than that of the saloon.
Pros
Superior calibre
Good safety

Consistently impressive performance as well as control
Purchase costs that are high
Exorbitant costs of operation
Disappointing luggage space

Comparative analysis reveals that this family-friendly hybrid offers superior performance
The entry of the Suzuki Across into the category of large SUVs is very much appreciated. Strong performance and the possibility of very cheap operating costs are both provided by its plug-in hybrid configuration, which is a unique selling point of this vehicle. In addition, it has a good brand reliability rating thanks to Suzuki, which provides lots of space on the interior. It has earned the title of Best Buy.
The advantages of a solid performance
Ample in size and functional
Good fuel economy Cons
Weak braking
Poor performance in the test designed to simulate avoiding hazards

Contrast this verdict with the highly effective master of spaciousness.
The Jazz is a package that is not only simple to operate but also very nicely put together, and it accomplishes the goals of being both flexible and practical. Although it’s not the most polished or fun-to-drive car in its class, the hybrid power system works well, and it gets decent fuel economy for the amount of power that it puts out. Additionally, it has a high level of safety and equipment, both of which contributed to it being named a Best Buy by Which?
Pros
Tremendous space inside
Simple to operate and well-appointed Pros
Unrefined in the face of intense acceleration
Pricey
Not as responsive to driver input as some of its competitors.

The Lexus RX is a really outstanding luxury 4×4, despite the fact that it exudes an air of menace reminiscent of Darth Vader. In addition to being roomy and comfy, it also has an impressively high level of craftsmanship and an abundance of cutting-edge technology. However, you shouldn’t expect it to perform as well off road as a Range Rover.

Large estate with a brand new plug-in hybrid vehicle available (PHEV)
The conclusion is that this hybrid vehicle is highly functional.
The Skoda Superb Estate plug-in hybrid doesn’t make too many concessions to the normal model’s enormous cabin. It has the same amount of passenger room as the standard model and a trunk that is still enormous. It is also very comfortable and has a superb cabin, in addition to being an enthusiastic performer. Additionally, there is the possibility of extremely cheap operating expenses with the hybrid system. The question is, Which? Best Buy.
Pros

Large Only Fueled by Gasoline, Diesel, or a Mild Hybrid
The verdict is that this luxury option is quite outstanding.
You won’t be disappointed behind the wheel of a BMW 5 Series, regardless of whether you choose a gasoline or diesel engine. In spite of their fuel efficiency, diesel vehicles aren’t quite as exciting as their gasoline-powered counterparts. The handling and steering are of the very highest quality. The only serious complaints are about the visibility and the interior, which has a potentially challenging learning curve.

Identifying characteristics
Sports Only (Used for)
Petrol/Diesel/Mild hybrid
The conclusion is that it is incredibly quick while also being useful.
The new M4 outperforms the previous M3 in terms of acceleration and pulling power, yet being significantly more fuel efficient. It boasts more over 400 horsepower. It is quite practical for driving in everyday situations and is more than capable of functioning as a polished cruiser. Additionally, the seating comfort is satisfactory, and the trunk space is superior than that of a number of competing sports cars.
Pros
Stunning execution of the role
Effortless and precise automatic control
Large front cabin and rear boot space Cons
Congested seating in the back

Comparative analysis reveals a family vehicle that is distinctively distinct
When compared to its predecessor, the current generation of the Honda Civic boasts a driving experience that is marked by significant advancements in areas such as ride quality, steering feel, and safety and security on the road. Although the odd body form has a minor influence on access and space, the Civic is, all things considered, a rather practical vehicle.
Advantages Class-leading shoe

Economical diesels
Cons

Identifying characteristics
Sports Only (Used for)
Petrol/Diesel/Mild hybrid
In contrast to other two-seat roadsters, the SLK is not a true sports car, despite the fact that it is very comfortable and enjoyable to drive around in general. Because the seats are quite comfy and the heating system is so effective, you can drive around in the winter with the roof off without any problems at all. The fact that the boot is so cramped and difficult to get into is one of the car’s many flaws.
Advantages Beautifully crafted and simple to use
Putting the brakes on engines Cons
Difficult to squeeze into the tight space
A Porsche Boxster provides a lower level of enjoyment.
