CDE’s UK model directory. A fast index into our independent coverage by individual car, new and used. Tiles are ordered by how much we have published on each model, not by who pays for placement. Every link runs a live search across our buying guides, finance and salary-sacrifice maths, recall watch and reliability work.
Premium SUVs and 4x4s
Range Rover
Sport, Velar, Evoque and full-size — the model years that earned their reputation, the ones to avoid, warranty risk and where used values are falling fastest.
BMW X5
Diesel, petrol and the plug-in xDrive45e — running costs, the engines that age well, and how it stacks up against the GLE and Q7.
Audi Q7
Seven seats, air suspension and the used-buyer checks that matter — plus how the Q7 compares with the larger Q8 e-tron on cost.
Porsche Macan
Petrol versus the new electric Macan, Porsche Approved warranty, and what a sensible used budget really buys.
Porsche Cayenne
Generations, the V6 and V8 trims to look for, and the maintenance bills that catch out first-time Cayenne buyers.
Land Rover Defender
The reborn Defender as a daily driver — reliability so far, resale strength and which engine makes sense for your mileage.
Executive saloons and estates
Audi A6
Saloon and Avant, TDI and TFSI e — the engines to buy used, common faults, and how depreciation works in your favour.
Mercedes E-Class
The comfortable long-distance pick — diesel traps to avoid, the trims worth paying for, and resale against the BMW 5 Series.
BMW 5 Series
From the 530e plug-in to the straight-six petrols — how the 5 Series drives, what it costs to run, and used-buying advice.
Electric and salary-sacrifice favourites
Tesla Model Y
The UK’s best-selling EV — real-world range, the salary-sacrifice maths at a 2% Benefit-in-Kind rate, and used pricing.
BMW i4
The electric 4 Series Gran Coupe — eDrive35 versus eDrive40 versus M50, charging in practice and lease versus salary sacrifice.
Audi e-tron
The Q8 e-tron, Q6 e-tron and e-tron GT — how they charge, what they tow, and the company-car case for higher-rate taxpayers.
Porsche Taycan
The driver’s EV — battery options, the cost of running one used, and how depreciation has reset the entry price.
Polestar 2
Single versus dual motor, the long-range battery, and why it remains a strong salary-sacrifice pick under £45k.
Hyundai Ioniq 5
800-volt charging, the warranty that backs it, and where it beats the premium German EVs on value.
Sports and specialist
Porsche 911
The generations that hold value, the trims to buy, specialist insurance, and what to budget for a used 911 you can actually live with.
Tesla Model 3
The saloon that made EVs mainstream — range by version, the Highland refresh, and used pricing as the market matures.
Mercedes EQS
The electric S-Class flagship — long-distance range, the technology that justifies the price, and steep early depreciation.
