What is it?

A HIGHLY efficient seven-seater people mover at supermini prices. Useful if your business car has to double as a delivery vehicle during the week; and family transport at the weekends. The cost of the Family Pack that buys the extra two seats is £800.

What’s hot?

  • Seven seats for supermini money
  • Looks like a van with windows (which it is)…
  • …but doesn’t drive like a van. Nicely refined
  • Great view from inside glassy cabin
  • Especially for kids in the back row of seats
  • Rear seats can be removed and left in your garage
  • Big sliding rear passenger doors
  • Nearly 50mpg fuel economy
  • Loads of handy storage areas
  • Acres of space in the back with seats folded

What’s not?

  • Long rear top-hinged door makes access tricky in tight spots
  • Rear seats bulky to take out…
  • …and you need somewhere to store them
  • Handbrake release is too far away without a reach
  • Access to rear seats is tricky…
  • …although kids probably won’t mind a bit
  • Engine gets coarse at top end

Business Car Manager Road Test Rating

A versatile vehicle for traders with dual needs – for business delivery items and for carrying children. It’s an amazing cargo-and-people carrier for the money.
