Hatchbacks, SUVs, hybrids, electric cars: Renault makes them all, in a variety of shapes and sizes, meaning&nbsp;it has a line-up designed to tempt pretty much everyone.

From the roadside, the standout feature of all its cars is design, with them instantly recognisable as members of the Renault family, without being so similar that they fall&nbsp;into the Russian doll trap. However, in terms of ability they're a mixed bag,&nbsp;ranging&nbsp;from very good to no better than average.

Models that fall into the former camp include the Clio small hatchback and Megane E-Tech electric car, while the smaller Zoe electric car is also impressive in most respects; it's just a pity Renault omits key safety kit.

On the other hand, the Captur, Arkana and Austral SUVs are all outclassed by several rivals.

Renault has some exciting new models planned, including a new Scenic (this time it will be an electric SUV instead of a conventionally powered MPV) and two cars that reimagine classic Renaults: the 4 and 5.

TWINGO

Want to buy a Formula 1 car for the young Fernando Alonso in your life? Then make their dreams come true this Christmas with a pedal car that's modelled on the double Formula One champion's R28 racing car. The scaled-down racer won't cost as much as the real thing, but at 208 it's pretty pricey.

Still, there are some neat design touches that any F1 team would be proud of, such as swivelling pedals and the use of shockproof polystyrene in case of any accidents. However, if you're buying for a little one who prefers style over speed, there's the Twingo Princess pedal car to suit ages three to six. It's available for 93, is bright pink and comes with a tiara, earrings and a ring. There's also a 'standard' red Twingo pedal car, which is the same size and costs 80. For children aged two upwards there are pink and blue pedal cars for 42, or a push along Twingo priced at 28. All items are available by visiting a Renault dealer.
