MPV car reviews

Hits its marks but doesn’t do much else besides

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

In the age of utility vehicle dominance, the minivan - the SUV of its time - still has legs and the Pacifica is its paragon

A campervan designed by people who actually go camping. Space for four people to travel and sleep in proper comfort

Ford has used Fiesta bits to make a proper chunky little MPV. Of course it was going to be good

The B-Class is, in essence, just a tall A-Class with more rear room. The 2023 facelift is minimal. Comfy and roomy, but not as versatile as others

Futuristic looks conceal run-of-the-mill underbits. Still, the Hyundai Staria is the acceptable face of MPVing

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

If you have a big family and aren't dead-set on a crossover, go look at an S-Max. Not glam, but good to drive and hugely practical

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

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

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

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

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

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