Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi 130 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 06 October 2011 18:00

Vauxhall is replacing the Zafira with the new Zafira Tourer - and it also isn't. Eh? What's with the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Well, the new Zafira Tourer you see here will be in addition to today's Zafira MPV. Rather like Renault with the Clio, Vauxhall plans to sell both old and new concurrently. The thinking is it'll give GM a ...

VW Sharan (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Al Suttie, 02 June 2011 13:00

The new VW Sharan slipped discretely into the MPV marketplace in 2010, replacing a people carrier that had been first launched in 1995. Back in the mid-90s, the Sharan was a product of a joint venture with Ford that saw the original Ford Galaxy, and the Seat Alhambra sharing the same platform. Ford went its own way in 2006, with ...

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2011 11:55

This is Ford’s second-generation C-Max, one of ten models Ford will spin off its new global C-platform – there’s a bigger Grand C-Max, three Focus models, plus hybrid and electric versions as well, and by 2012 it'll underpin 2m units annually. It’s the new Grand C-Max that will take to name to North America too, and cater for the 60% ...

Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive S (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anonymous, 03 January 2011 07:35

The new Seat Alhambra MPV is once again twinned with Volkswagen's Sharan, but the familial links have been cut with Ford's Galaxy. Think of the new 2010 Alhambra as a cut-price VW; our Alhambra 2.0 TDI Ecomotive model costs around £800 less than the equivalent Sharan. It's a pretty compelling reason to pick the Seat badge. We tested the Alhambra ...

Mazda 5 2.0 DISI (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 23 June 2010 11:34

Mazda will replace its 5 midi-MPV in autumn 2010 and CAR's just driven the new minivan. The new Mazda 5 (2010) is the first production car to bear the full fruits of the company's much-vaunted 'Nagare' design policy, with some highly unusual sculpting on the flanks. As you can read in our news story here, that design direction is being ...

Vauxhall Meriva 1.4T SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 13 April 2010 14:32

The last Vauxhall Meriva was a charmless, if effective, little box. The new one looks great, but is there more substance to it than those rear suicide doors? Is this the first mini MPV that you’re not embarrassed to be seen in? Could well be. We thought that Kia’s Venga (or at least the show car that previewed it) was ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 19 February 2010 10:00

It’s taken three generations, but Nissan’s funky Cube has finally made it Europe through official channels. But is it a case of style over substance? Hmm, this latest Nissan Cube looks slightly less, well, square. Yes, some of the earlier car’s styling edge has gone, in both senses, but it’s still a striking looking car and stands out a mile ...

Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Stephen Worthy, 02 July 2009 10:58

Think ‘Renault Scenic’ today and what does it conjure up? Mum stuck in traffic on the school run. Jammy-fingered kids staring wistfully out of the window. Dad pootling down to the seaside with the whole clan seething inside it. There are so many cars like the Scenic on the road today, it’s easy to forget how radical it was when ...

Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jed Maxwell, 28 January 2009 14:30

Sensible, practical, useful – MPVs are all of those things. What they’re not, is fun. Until now. The Citroen C3 Picasso does all the normal useful stuff you expect of a people mover, but does it in a much more entertaining way. Is the Citroen C3 Picasso the coolest MPV ever? I do have a bit of a soft spot for ...
