Looking to be a cooler dad? Here are the must-have motors<\/p>\n
Every dad would love to be seen as cool by their offspring, but it's a feat few achieve once the kids hit somewhere around the middle of primary school. All of a sudden, there's extensive eye-rolling in reaction to every single comment.<\/p>\n
However, vehicle data specialist HPI reckons dads could win some instant 'school gate cred' – and all they have to do is invest in one of five cars.<\/p>\n
Ahead of Father's Day this weekend, the company has put together a list of models it thinks are guaranteed to make daddy cool.<\/p>\n
Top of the chart was the Jaguar E-Pace, nudging the Volvo XC40 into second position. Next came the Tesla Model X, followed by the Audi e-tron and the Audi TT to round off the all-important top five.<\/p>\n
Consumer director at HPI Fernando Garcia said: "The Jaguar E-Pace just edged it in our poll ahead of the Volvo XC40. It's also perfect for the age range of a dad on the school run."<\/p>\n
Since it's a crossover, this Jag does have more practicality than many of the vehicles that typically top this kind of list.<\/p>\n
It also seems to meet the criteria of the Which? guide to buying a family car, which points out that the best models have wide-opening doors to allow you to get car seats in and out easily and a big boot for the pushchair.<\/p>\n
The E-Pace also has plenty of room for people more than six feet tall, which is another of the magazine's recommendations to prevent you from getting a bad back.<\/p>\n
However, with prices ranging from £28,815 to more than £48,000, we can't help but think mum would have something to say about dad splashing out on his own Father's Day gift just to win a bit of street cred.<\/p>\n
After all, there are some great Nissan and Vauxhall deals around lately … we just can't guarantee they'll help stop the eye-rolling. Sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
