MPVs prioritise passenger space and seat flexibility over styling, which makes them the most practical choice for families of five or more. We’ve tested the full range, from compact van-derived models like the Ford Tourneo Courier and Toyota Proace City Verso to premium people-carriers such as the Mercedes-Benz V-series, plus the electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz and Peugeot e-Traveller. The segment is shifting towards electrification, with the VW ID. Buzz leading European electric MPV sales in 2025.
