Caravan owners may be tempted to trade in their old tow car after seeing the Hyundai i40, as this family estate boasts sleek styling as well as great functionality.

With prices starting at under £19,000, it’s certainly affordable for a spacious family car, and it should be very cheap to run – the i40 qualifies for insurance group 12, while Hyundai claims careful drivers can get 65 mpg.

Tow car drivers can choose from a 1.6 or a 2.0-litre petrol engine, while the 1.7-litre diesel option can deliver up to 134 bhp.

As standard you will get 16-inch alloy wheels, steering-wheel mounted controls, and an electric parking brake with automatic hold for added safety.

Optional extras include leather seats, cruise control, rear-view parking cameras and parking sensors.

Furthermore, all i40s come with five-years of roadside assistance, vehicle health checks and warranty cover.

The estate version will go on sale in September, while the saloon version should be along later in the year.
