Volkswagen Touran – The Best People Carrier?

Although it’s been around for a long time, the VW Touran is still right up there as one of the best 7 seater MPVs of all time. Inside, the Volkswagen Touran is roomy and quiet, there is terrific versatility in the seating arrangement, and plenty of space for luggage. With great all round insulation, there is very little wind noise when driving the Touran, however, the diesel engines are a bit noisier than the petrol versions.

If you’re looking for a practical and versatile people carrier you will find it hard to beat the Volkswagen Touran. There are 7 seats as standard although that leaves little in the way of luggage space, around 121 L, but you can arrange the seats in a different format to increase baggage room.

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso – Triple “MPV of the Year” Winner.

One of the most popular people carriers you can hire is the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, with good reason. It’s renowned for it’s level of comfort, and easily seats seven adults when the third row of seats are activated.

The third row of seats can be brought into use very easily, and a range of petrol and diesel engines and manual or automatic gearboxes should mean there’s a model to suit everyone. So slightly softer suspension on the grand Picasso compared to many of its rivals, which is not as pleasant for the driver as it is for the passengers. The driving experience aside, as a passenger , you will be delighted with comfort, layout and quietness inside the Grand Picasso.

From a passenger point of view, this is a luxurious, spacious cabin and it is difficult to find fault with this MPV. Some clever boffin has invented a fantastic seat mechanism that converts the seats in almost any formation you want. In terms of internal room, there’s decent legroom and headroom, even with the seven seats in use, but you may require a roof box if you have 7 adults with luggage as boot space will be tight.

Fuel economy is startling for the grand Picasso with tales of 60 mpg not unheard-of in the diesel models. Overall, the C4 Grand Picasso is a safe, reliable and very popular people carrier hire vehicle and gets a big thumbs up.
