Nissan offers a couple different engines with the NV, including a horsepower, 4. A five-speed automatic transmission pairs with both. The V-6 engine is a bit thirsty compared to the competition, yielding lower-than-average fuel economy, but the 3. The second row of seating can be moved out of the way to increase cargo capacity when needed. The Kia Sedona , which was just redesigned for the model year, carries over into mostly unchanged, which is just fine. The Sedona offers a posh and refined interior, finished in high-quality, sound-dampening materials that provide a quiet and relaxing ride for up to eight passengers.
Five trim levels are available on the Sedona, but these are mostly to organize the features an equipment hierarchy, since all Sedonas are powered by the same drivetrain. Some of the available features include power sliding doors, dual sunroofs, climate-controlled front seats, an upgraded audio system, plenty of high-end safety equipment, and reclining second row seats which reduce available seating to seven. Passenger-oriented Sprinters offer capacity for 12 people, and the sliding door makes it fast and easy to embark and disembark.
Otherwise, a horsepower, 2. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is easy to drive for a van, even with a full load, thanks to a thoughtful design that provides the driver with plenty of visibility. The Volkswagen Caravelle is big, well built and expensive.
What do you get for your money? While the driver faces a well-equipped dashboard, the Caravelle is best sampled in the rear. VW offers two 2. The Citroen SpaceTourer is a large MPV based on the underpinnings of the Dispatch van, but with a reasonably luxurious interior given its commercial beginnings.
Three lengths of SpaceTourer are available, with XS the shortest, M at around five metres in length and XL allowing up to nine people to get comfortable. An overhead unit provides rear passengers with airline-style air-conditioning and lighting, while sunblinds, tray tables and power sockets are also provided, but it can get a bit noisy on the move.
Sitting in the middle of the range, the BlueHDi is the best all-round engine, with a six-speed manual gearbox and smooth power delivery. The suspension copes well with bumps, too. For a start, Toyota offers Compact, Medium and Long versions, depending how many passengers you want to carry, and how much space you have to park. Even the Shuttle has eight or nine seats, automatic wipers, air-conditioning, DAB radio and Bluetooth, covering all the essentials.
A five-star Euro NCAP safety rating provides great peace of mind, too, especially with so many people on board. Meanwhile, engines include a 1. Of the SpaceTourer, Verso and Traveller trio, the Peugeot arguably has the most conservative styling, with a simple grille flanked by swept-back headlights. Peugeot has decided to push the Traveller slightly upmarket, with no cut-price version on offer and every trim getting an impressive roster of equipment like climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth and a seven-inch infotainment display.
The Allure trim is even more luxurious, thanks to leather seats, a panoramic sunroof and even a heads-up display. The unashamed focus on practicality means adults can practically stand up in the high Tourneo Connect, while the seven-seat option adds further appeal — although the rearmost seats are a little on the small side and tricky to fold up and down. Ford offers a 1. If you want to spend even more money on a car with sliding doors, turn to the Mercedes V-Class.
Mercedes offers the V-Class with a 2. We advise you to choose the more potent bhp version, which propels the V-Class from mph in a reasonably rapid 9.
The Citroen Berlingo has always been an appealing choice for families seeking affordability and maximum practicality. Twin roof rails look the part, too. There are two sizes of Berlingo, both available with five or seven seats, and of course access is exceptional thanks to the sliding doors. Good-quality trim and an impressive infotainment system means it actually feels rather plush. Otherwise, the Rifter offers all the many advantages of its PSA Group stablemate, including the same two wheelbase lengths, plus five and seven-seater options.
Both models also share a range of efficient engines, including our favourite 1. This makes it ideal for young families for fitting and removing car seats, as well as offering far better access for people with limited mobility.
Very good, in fact, with acres of interior space, high tech features and a premium quality feel. The range kicks off with a 1. Plus, the practicality and engine line-up from its German sibling has been retained. You could say the C-Max is the Grand-daddy of them all.
