You can’t knock them for being cheeky, with Ford reviving the Capri name for its latest medium electric SUV. The resurrection of the hallowed name may not be popular with everyone, but you can’t ignore the fact that the new electric Capri has become the hottest discussion topic in the car world.

Rubbing shoulders with the electric Ford in our news pages is the reimagined Audi A5, now offered in Sportback and Avant guises and serving as a replacement for the A4. We’ve also got spyshots of the Skoda Elroq, the first official photos of the BMW X3 and information on the facelifted Audi e-tron GT. Hyundai’s Inster and the LEVC L380 rub shoulders, alongside more details on the Citroën C3 Aircross and the classy Bentley Continental GT. Fiat’s funky Grande Panda is exhibited alongside the 500e Giorgio Armani limited edition, and we’ve got the first photographs of both the new MG HS and the Cyber GTS Coupé. Completing this month’s repertoire is the Polestar Concept BST and the plug-in hybrid BMW M5.

In for testing this month, Jeep’s electric Avenger faces the Kia Soul EV, and we get behind the wheel of the diesel Kia Sorento, the Peugeot E-5008, KGM Torres EVX, MINI Cooper Electric and diesel Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupé. We’ve got a comprehensive A-to-Z on tyres, and we wave goodbye to the Cupra Formentor from our long-term fleet.
