2023 best cars

“Best” in 2023 depends on whether you’re hauling kids, Labradors, or just your ego. For small cars, the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai i30 nailed value, safety tech, and low running costs. Medium SUVs? The Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage delivered comfy cabins and tidy fuel use. If you want electrons, the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Atto 3 were favourites for range and price. Hybrids like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid stayed hot property for good reason. Test-drive a few, check service intervals and real-world economy, and buy the one that makes traffic feel less tragic.
