New Large cars

44 New Large cars reviews available

  • Saab 9-3 (2002-2011)

    saab 9-3 2009 5

    New price: £20,995 - £35,149

    The 9-3 lasted a long time under Saab but it's now dead. It's up against very stiff competition from prestige German brands.
  • Seat Exeo (2009-)

    Seat Exeo 2012

    New price: £19,600 - £26,465

    The Seat Exeo is essentially the old-model Audi A4 in disguise. It fills a gap in Seat's range, but does it do any more than that? The Which? testers find out.
  • Skoda Octavia (2004-2013)

    skoda octavia vrs

    New price: £13,425 - £25,045

    The Octavia represents a cheaper option to VW hatchbacks and saloons. For those with more to carry, the Octavia is also offered as a capacious estate.
  • Skoda Octavia (2013-)

    SKODA Octavia TDI RaceBlue01

    New price: £16,025 - £23,275

    Skoda's best-selling Octavia is larger, plusher and pricier, but is it a winner?
  • Skoda Superb (2008-)

    skoda superb 3

    New price: £17,110 - £31,690

    The Skoda Superb is called a 'saloonback' as it has both a hatchback and a saloon boot. The Which? team finds out if its as good as it seems.
  • Subaru Legacy (2003-2009)

    Subaru Legacy 1

    New price: £19,393 - £30,623

    Subaru's quirky, 4WD alternative to a 5 Series or Volvo V70
  • Subaru Legacy (2009-)

    subaru legacy

    New price: £22,750 - £36,010

    The Subaru Legacy and raised-ride-height Outback are relatively rare, but the four-wheel-drive chassis appeals to some drivers. Which? takes a closer look.
  • Suzuki Kizashi (2012-)

    Suzuki Kizashi 1

    New price: £21,735 - £21,735

    Large saloons with four-wheel drive are rare indeed. Can the Suzuki Kizashi score highly in a very narrow market niche?
  • Toyota Avensis (2009-)

    toyota avensis 2009 8

    New price: £17,735 - £29,645

    Toyota sticks to what it knows with the latest Avensis, safely in the middle of the road and similar to the previous version. We ask - is that enough?
  • Toyota Prius (2009-)

    2012Prius1

    New price: £21,845 - £28,195

    The 2009 Toyota Prius was the most radical design for the model since it first appeared. The big question is, has it improved on the original?
  • Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid (2012-)

    Toyota Prius Plugin Hybrid 2

    New price: £33,245 - £34,745

    Plug-in Prius records best-ever fuel economy in Which? tests
  • Vauxhall Ampera (2012-)

    Vauxhall Ampera 1

    New price: £34,995 - £38,995

    Is Vauxhall's 'range-extender' hybrid the next revolution in motoring?

  • Alfa Romeo 156 (1997-2005)

    Alfa Romeo 156 97 1

    Used price: From £1,225

    Don't beleive an estate car be stylish? Then check out the Alfa Romeo 156. Which? has road tested both saloon and estate, with petrol and diesel.
  • Alfa Romeo 159 (2006-2011)

    Alfa Romeo 1591

    Used price: From £5,975

    Alfa's 159 is sporty, stylish and striking to look at - but how does it drive? We've road tested the diesel saloon and estate versions.
  • Alpina D3 (2006-2012)

    Alpina D3 saloon

    Used price: From £15,650

    The BMW 3 Series-based Alpina D3 is an interesting and unusual choice
  • Audi A4 (2000-2008)

    Audi A4 Gen 2 1

    Used price: From £3,095

    The Audi A4 and estate (Avant) range, built from 2000-2008. Good fit and finish, but enough to rival the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3-Series? 
  • Audi A4 saloon (2008-)

    Audi A4 2012 A

    Used price: From £12,895

    Audi is famed for its solid family cars, but can the A4 saloon, built from 2008 and facelifted in 2012, match the BMW 3 Series? Read on.
  • BMW 3 Series (1998-2006)

    BMW 3 Series 99 1

    Used price: From £2,395

    The last-generation 3 Series is still highly sought after. It commands good prices and has some great engines - but here's what to look out for.
  • BMW 3 Series (2005-2011)

    BMW 3 Series 06 4

    Used price: From £6,825

    The popular BMW 3 Series saloon is a family-sized car to be reckoned with, possessing excellent handling and refinement. And it's a lot more affordable than the latest version.
  • Cadillac BLS (2006-2009)

    cadillac bls 1

    Used price: From £4,925

    Essentially a rebadged Saab 9-3, the Cadillac BLS is a well equipped, cheap second-hand car. Is it too odd to go for?
  • Chevrolet Epica (2008-2009)

    Chevrolet Epica 1

    Used price: From £5,575

    Dated and dull, but the Epica saloon sure is cheap
  • Chrsyler Sebring (2007-2009)

    Chrysler Sebring 1

    Used price: From £5,150

    Can bargain basement prices compensate for the unrefined manners of this big American cruiser?
  • Citroën C5 (2001-2008)

    Citroen C5 01 2

    Used price: From £1,375

    For a large family car the Citroën C5 delivers an impressively smooth ride. Built from 2001 to 2008, Which? members have had plenty to say about it.
  • Citroën C5 (2008-)

    Citroen C5

    Used price: From £7,525

    A French car advertised as 'very Germanic', the new Citroën C5 is meant to be more refined than the old C5. We put the Teutonic claims to the test.
