The single-motor Polestar 3 is an attractive proposition, but in contrast to plenty of other EV model line-ups that offer both single and dual-motor configurations, the Long Range Dual Motor is the edition we’d opt for. It might cost more and have less range, but they’re fairly negligible downsides when you consider the increase in performance it offers – and the improved ride quality thanks to the brilliant adaptive air suspension.

A new Peugeot 208 is set to arrive next year, but the French firm is still looking to keep the current model competitive - adding a new GT Premium version and increasing the range of the all-electric E-208 to a maximum of 268 miles. The new GT Premium trim is also offered in the 208’s crossover sibling, the 2008, representing the most lavish and best-equipped edition in the line-up.

We like the Mercedes C-Class here at Auto Express, thanks to its impressive on-board technology, stunning cabin design and solid range of engines - but even in its most basic C 200 form it costs £46,175. With this budget in mind, we studied the Auto Express classifieds to see what three cars we could get instead. If you want a Mercedes to ferry you up and down the country in stylish comfort, forget the C-Class – this CLS is what you want.
