Our quick take

Alternatives to consider

Peugeot 5008 - 3.5 / 5

An SUV in style, but not substance

On board – a Tardis with style but some usability issues

In the back – acres of space, if you’re in the middle row

On the road – an acquired taste

Plenty of ‘Allure’ and good value

To recap

It’s out with MPV and in with SUV. The 5008 has still got 7 seats and space aplenty, plus a strong specification for its asking price - especially on the tech and safety side of things. However, there are nagging issues in the back - which is where it matters most in a car such as this.
