Choose it for

  • Its seven-seat capability, generous standard equipment list including a Sony sound system and 19-inch alloy wheels, and incredible value for money.

Worth knowing

  • The entry-level petrol engine can feel noisy and slow, and the boot is very small when all seven seats are in use.

Choose it for

  • Its huge boot space, striking exterior design featuring LED headlights and front fog lights, and a well-sorted cabin layout.

Worth knowing

  • The suspension feels on the firm side, and the rear seat shape can feel a bit awkward.
