MPV car reviews

Enormously practical and built for family life, the Berlingo does all you could realistically ask of it

A desirable and hugely practical device for carrying seven people with a few annoying foibles

Still feels like the odd one out in the BMW family. Roomy and well-appointed, but doesn’t drive well enough or offer clever solutions for family motoring

A massively practical VW that isn’t an SUV. Benefits greatly from its new MQB platform

Yes, it’s effectively a van with windows. But it’s also magnificent

New B-Class is, in essence, just a tall hatch.. Good, but not as versatile as others.

Takes the fight to the Ford Galaxy with sliding doors and an accommodating cabin.

The VW California finally has a direct rival. Merc’s Marco Polo camper is plush, well engineered and comfortable.

BMW brand diversification continues. A pricey people carrier, but a cut above

Nice to drive and with funky doors, the Meriva is very practical for such a small car. What's not to like?

Like the rest of the Kia range, the Carens is a very capable machine

The Verso has a smart new look and is better to drive. Pity interior space isn't better

Think of this as a Yeti made over as an MPV. And made uglier. Interior is well-shaped and eminently usable.

The Ford MPV to have if absolute space is all. if it’s not, then eyes left...

The big-brother to the regular Fiat 500 is roomier and more family-friendly. Nice work, Fiat

Introduced a decade ago, the Zafira now exists beside the Tourer in Vauxhall's line-up. If this is a hidden gem, the sparkle is now well-hidden...

All-new C4 Picasso is comfier and more versatile than the SUV crossovers that are all the rage

Ford B-Max review: Ford finally joins the mini-MPV fray with a clever car packed with potential.

Marred as the whipping boy of the VW Group, Seat has produced a highly credible MPV

The Zafira turns premium with a sleek look and super-luxurious interior - but has prices to match

Simply enormous van-people-carrier thing from deepest Korea. Masses of room for eight, but sadly with all the on-road prowess you’d expect from something with the exterior dimensions of a bijou flat.
