Genesis arrived in 2021 in the UK after being elevated from being a model in the Hyundai stable. Today it’s a standalone premium brand offering a fresh take in terms of design, luxury and value for money. Not surprisingly, it's being compared to Lexus and Infiniti, the latter no longer available in the UK.&nbsp;

It's had a good start with the G70 and G80 saloons, superb GV70 SUV and the rather Dubai-esque GV80. Sales are going reasonably well and the brand has a slightly different approach to the traditional dealership sales model, taking a leaf out of the book of rivals such as Polestar, with Genesis Studios and what the company has called the Genesis Difference.&nbsp;

Our review features the G70 Shooting Brake 2.2 diesel and after driving the petrol saloon last year, our expectations were high for this one.

We’ve scored the car over 10 areas, so you can see how the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake looks at a glance.

Earning its tag as the “estate that defies convention”, the Peugeot 508 SW is stylishly designed both inside and out. More shooting brakes than family estate on the outside, its interior features the latest Peugeot i-Cockpit packed with an impressive list of assists, which not only up the safety count, but deliver a relaxed and comfortable drive too.

While not the most practical estate on offer, it’s sure to stand out from the others in its class and with its mammoth 1,780-litre boot space, you’re not going to struggling to fit a couple of suitcases in.

Take a look at our Peugeot 508 SW review for the lowdown if you’re in the market for an estate car with a little character and a lot of style.
