Most of the safety systems you can buy on car-based people carriers are available here, but only anti-lock brakes and a driver’s airbag are fitted as standard. Electronic stability control, which can help the driver regain control of the vehicle during a skid, is an option along with side and curtain airbags. This is down to the Tepee’s van origins – van customers tend only to want the safety equipment they see as absolutely necessary.

The smallest Tepee offers 283 litres of luggage space up to the parcel shelf behind the third row seats. The long wheelbase offers a minimum of 553 litres. Whether you choose a Tepee with two or three rows of seats luggage space becomes vast with the seats removed because you’re turning it back into a medium-sized panel van. The seats aren’t that easy to remove however, as they’re pretty bulky and heavy.

There’s useful cabin storage though, including an open compartment on top of the dashboard as well as overhead storage. Models with the bench-style front passenger seat have extra under-seat storage.
