Ford Grand C-Max
Our pick: Ford Grand C-Max Titanium
If it’s skin in the game you’re after, a Ford Grand C-Max is a great choice for you.
Yes, it’s been around for a while now, but that’s not to say it isn’t good, in fact, it’s testament to its long-lasting nature.
Admittedly, the rearmost seats are a little cramped so are therefore better suited to children but if that’s what you need them for then it’s perfect.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso
Our pick: Citroen Grand C4 Picasso Flair
Many families are boxed into buying MPVs because they’re practical and not because they like the way they look, but the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (now known as the SpaceTourer) changes everything.
With its sleek design and surprisingly upmarket interior, it’s an ideal choice you can enjoy with or without the rest of the family.
Even with all seats in place, you get an impressive 170-litre boot space, growing to 790 litres when a five-seater.

Ford S-Max
Our pick: Ford S-Max ST-Line
The Ford S-Max takes the concept for the C-Max and takes it to the next level with a sleeker body shape and design cues borrowed from the massive Galaxy MPV.
Available with a range of petrol, hybrid and diesel engines, the S-Max can suit an array of different lifestyles.
Plus, Ford made an all-wheel drive (AWD) version if you’re worried about slippery winter weather.

Peugeot 5008
Our pick: Peugeot 5008 Allure
Talk about swanky – the Peugeot 5008 is a stylish, affordable and well-thought-out MPV available as a petrol, diesel, mild hybrid or fully electric e-5008.
Even with all seven seats in place, the 5008 is surprisingly spacious with the rearmost seats having enough room for taller drivers on shorter journeys.
The interior is also impressive, especially in later models sporting Peugeot’s i-Cockpit screen setup.

Renault Grand Scenic
Our pick: Renault Grand Scenic Signature Nav
A cheap-to-run and cheap-to-buy MPV is just what most families want, and the Renault Grand Scenic ticks both those boxes.
It's also very space efficient, with sliding rear seats to give you more or less space – depending on what you’re after.
You also get a portrait screen, which may have an outdated system now, but does most things you need one to do. If not, just stick your phone on a mount.

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer
Our pick: Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Elite
In 2016, the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer received a vital facelift which brought its design closer in line with the then-current Astra, improving the interior tech too.
Despite being discontinued in 2018, it still comes with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto seen through a decent-sized eight-inch touchscreen.
It’s also obviously very practical and easy to live with too, offering space for up to seven people.
