Volkswagen Touran

The seven-seat Touran contains more useful space than there is in the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso and Ford S-max, with room for adults in the rear two seats. All five rear seats are easy to erect and stow in the floor, and getting in and out is a cinch. It’s also pretty good value for money when you factor in the Touran’s impressive 51mpg real-word fuel economy and decent haul of standard goodies. Our pick 1.6 TDI 115 SE

List price £26,955

Target Price £22,315
