Your only engine option with the Suzuki Swace is a 1.8-litre petrol hybrid engine, but that’s not a bad thing. Producing 138bhp, it gives the Swace more than enough pace for everyday use, officially sprinting from 0-62mph in 9.4sec, so reaching motorway speeds or overtaking is a doddle. 

1.8 Hybrid

Estate

Suzuki is well known as a motorcycle manufacturer, but the car brand has been enjoying decent success in recent years, thanks to a line-up of neat, well-equipped and keenly priced models.

Its expertise focuses on smaller cars, although its high-riding SUV range is also hugely credible, especially the Ignis and Vitara, which are both rated highly by What Car?’s testers and which have enjoyed success at the What Car? Awards as a result.

Well priced, decent to drive and full of useful tech, Suzuki’s cars also generally stand out for delivering good fuel economy. The Ignis, Celerio and Baleno have all stood head and shoulders above the competition during our True MPG testing.

SUZUKI

SWACE

It might be the entry-level trim but Motion is the one we’d go for. It keeps the price as low as possible but still gives you plenty of equipment, including 16in alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, LED headlights, heated seats and a heated steering wheel

Suzuki Swace

The Suzuki Swace is virtually identical to the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports while costing usefully less (although the Corolla does get a much longer warranty). As such, the Swace remains a comfortable, fuel efficient, well-equipped choice in the estate car class.

<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.
