The winner is... VW Arteon

OUR PICK: 2.0 TSI Elegance 190PS AWD DSG PRICE: £33,505

WITH its striking looks, the Volkswagen Arteon is the most eye-catching car in its class, but it faced tough competition in the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Kia Stinger. Still, the Volkswagen is comfortable and easy to drive, with a plush interior and lots of standard equipment, which helped it to take the win in its category this year. As it’s based on the excellent Passat, the Arteon is refined and spacious as well.
