The only engine in the Hyundai i30 Tourer’s arsenal is a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol with 48V hybrid tech, which uses the starter motor as a generator to slightly reduce emissions and boost efficiency. While it may have only 118bhp, the i30 Tourer’s engine pulls well from low revs and won’t leave you hanging when you need a sudden burst of power. It’s perfect for both town and motorway driving, proving refined in either situation. 

1.0T GDi

Estate

Hyundai has transformed itself from a maker of oddball hatchbacks that sold in small numbers in the UK, to a major rival to the likes of Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.

The Korean firm’s Ioniq Hybrid is particularly impressive, having beaten the trend-setting Toyota Prius when we tested the cars back to back.

Meanwhile, at the extremes of the Hyundai range you find the tiny i10 city car – a four-time What Car? award winner – and the stylish yet family-friendly Santa Fe SUV.

As a bonus, all of these cars come with the reassurance of a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, whereas most of Hyundai’s rivals offer only three years and 60,000 miles of cover.

Hyundai i30 Tourer

If the bland handling and average performance don’t concern you, the Hyundai i30 Tourer proves itself to be a reliable all-rounder that undercuts its rivals on price and offers plenty of practicality. Just bear in mind that the Ford Focus Estate offers a slightly bigger boot and a more dynamic driving experience. 

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Huge boot and excellent practicality</li> <li>Plenty of interior space so you can carry passengers as well as luggage </li> <li>Strong engines to pull a heavily laden car</li> <li>Comfortable ride, especially on the motorway</li> <li>Low running costs for company car drivers</li></ul>

If you’re after bags of space but you don’t want to commit to the van-like dimensions and styling of an MPV, there are some great estate cars on offer that should do the job.

Tricks to look out for include an electric tailgate&nbsp;that opens automatically when you wave your foot under the rear bumper; this is&nbsp;particularly handy if you’re trying to load in a heavy or&nbsp;bulky item. You should also look for handles in the side of the boot itself that can drop down the rear seats; these are much more convenient than having to walk around the side of the car to do it.
