The Fiesta is the UK’s top-selling car by quite a margin, and there’s a good reason for that. With the i20 trying to muscle in on its success, the Korean has quite a job on its hands. And while it admittedly it might not look as good, the Coupe’s five-door relative is also a more practical propsition.

A turbo version of the i30 hatchback is on the way, using a 1.6-litre petrol engine and a sporty bodykit to become the flagship of the Korean firm’s range.

It’s not particularly fast, and it’s not all that cheap to run either. That said, it offers something a bit different in a world of grey hatchbacks and you get the firm’s excellent five-year warranty thrown in too.
Tucson
Redesigned SUV gets tough new look and an interior which shows the direction the firm is heading.
There’s a wide range of engines on offer along with myriad safety systems and trim levels packed with kit.

It certainly looks like a compelling proposition for the family looking for a new SUV, and the five-year warranty is going to help sales too. If it appeals, it’s certainly worth going to a dealer for a test drive.
