THE OVERRUN

Small but perfectly formed reviews. The best of this month's drives

- 

VAUXHALL FRONTERA ELECTRIC

£22,495

PANDA AND INSTER TOO TITCHY for you? Similar money can bag you a 4.3m long SUV with electric power too. Vauxhall's entire car lineup offers an EV powertrain, all of which get the £1,500 government grant, and the new Frontera arrives with a bunch of free charging offers to lure you in. The car is played with a very safe bat, and doesn't possess the design of its Citroen C3 Aircross twin, but buyers can do worse. SD

VOLVO ES90 SINGLE MOTOR

£69,760

WHILE AN SUV MIGHT BE THE default choice for the (upper) middle class family these days, there's something compelling about a well executed high end saloon. The ES90 is a sublime place to sit and spend time, thoughtfully designed and 'pulsing with tech, and though the single motor car is no rocket ship, its sublime refinement and superb manners atone for any palpable lack of drama.

CITROEN C5 AICROSS

£30,495

FOR Unshackled from the superfluous

AGAINST No longer has individual rear seats
