7/10Peugeot5008£27,690 – £39,720Peugeot ditches MPVs, does crossovers instead. Seven-seat 5008 is the biggest yet
7/10VolkswagenTouran£27,965 – £34,950Better than the car it replaces, but not interesting, exciting or memorable.
7/10SeatAlhambra£30,415 – £38,270Seat’s most complete car. It has no real weaknesses – but we just know you’d rather have the VW…
7/10VolkswagenSharan£29,910 – £40,290It’s big, expensive and not especially clever, but it is really, really good at ferrying lots of people about. Really, really quietly.
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,555 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
6/10SsangyongRexton£27,125 – £37,125A giant, kitted out seven-seat 4x4 for the price of a top-spec Qashqai. Only apply if you like your driving rufty-tufty
6/10BMW2 Series Active/Gran Tourer£27,205 – £37,165Cosier and more expensive than rivals, but appealing badge and quality
5/10ToyotaLand Cruiser£33,425 – £53,650If you live in the desert, the Land Cruiser is as good as it gets. But seeing as we don't, the Discovery is a much better bet
4/10ToyotaLand Cruiser V8£33,425 – £53,650Capable, dependable, and civilised. Pity about the styling: it’s brash outside and too reminiscent of a Corolla within.
