Hydrogen fuel cell

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

NEXO

There’s only one model of Nexo and it comes packed to the rafters with equipment including heated and cooled electric leather seats, dual-zone climate control, full LED lighting, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start plus a hands-free electric tailgate as standard. Infotainment is taken care of by a 12.3in screen that gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and you get plenty of cameras to help visibility. Even if you could add options, there isn’t much you’d want extra.

Hyundai Nexo

There's no doubt the Nexo packs some serious green credentials, but this comes at a price when buying and running one. However, decent interior space and a relaxing drive shows that hydrogen cars have plenty of potential.

<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.
