Basically the same as VW's Sharan and SEAT's Alhambra. Not as flash as the Renault Espace but well liked by owners and less van-like than some big MPVs.

Basically the same as VW's Sharan and SEAT's Alhambra. Not as flash as the Renault Espace but well liked by owners and less van-like than some big MPVs. Equipment levels are adequate; all have air-con, good security and lots of safety equipment. And like-for-like, it's cheaper than VW's Sharan.

What owners say...

 Individual seats, make much better driving with children and so much easier to fit all the car seats in.

 Plenty of room in middle row of 3 seats. Like the pop up storage in the dash. Nice solid locking fuel cap, flush with bodywork. Like separate rear heating/aircon.
