Some people just want three things from their new cars: practicality, practicality and practicality. If that sounds like you, then you're going to want to breeze past hatchbacks and SUVs and look for one of the best MPVs you can buy today. Luckily, we've done the legwork for you below and ranked the best on sale.
MPVs are something of a dying breed - though in the 90s and early 2000s, they were ten a penny, nowadays there aren't even ten to make a list like this from. Blame the rise of the family SUV for that.
While there's no denying that the best SUVs are more desirable, they're often no better to drive and far less practical than an MPV of a similar size. It's not just outright interior volume either - the best MPVs have flexible interiors which can go from school bus to moving van in the blink of an eye.
Read on for our expert review team's pick of the best MPVs on sale today.
1. Volkswagen Multivan
Volkswagen Multivan reviewVW has been very clever in the cabin, with seats that slide, fold and can be removed completely, and a brilliant storage unit that moves up and down the cabin to where it’s needed. Choose from petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid versions, and opt for a longer body if you need extra luggage space.
2. Dacia Jogger
Dacia Jogger reviewChoose from a turbocharged petrol and a manual gearbox or a hybrid with an auto, but try as you might you can't spend more than £25,000 on a Jogger. In other words, that's a seven-seat family car for the price of a small hatchback. What's not to like?
3. Volkswagen ID Buzz
Volkswagen ID. Buzz reviewFor such a big car, the turning circle is tiny, meaning you can squeeze into the tightest of parking spaces on the school run. Sliding doors make it easy to get the kids in and out of the back, and there’s enough head and legroom for grown-ups to be comfortable too. It does all the sensible things an MPV has to, but it’s the looks you fall in love with.

4. Ford Tourneo Connect
Ford Tourneo Connect reviewSliding doors make it easy to shepherd kids in and out, especially in a narrow car park space.
5. Citroen Berlingo
Citroen Berlingo reviewThe big appeal is the interior, which is as practical as they come - you can have five seats and a ginormous boot, or space for seven in comfortable, flexible surroundings. Every passenger gets a great view out, and despite all that space the Berlingo doesn't feel any more intimidating to drive than a medium-sized SUV.
6. Lexus LM
Lexus LM reviewA hybrid engine makes it very easy to drive as well as surprisingly efficient, and passengers in the rear get full leather, a big screen that folds down from the roof and suspension that's set up to make them - not the driver - as comfortable as possible. Those in the middle row even get heated, cooled and massaging seats with their own tablet controllers. How posh is that?
7. BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer reviewIt's only a five-seater, so you're stuck if you've too many children. But it does fantastic duty as a family car, with a huge boot, comfortable and flexible rear seating and the best driving manners of any car on this list.
8. Volkswagen Touran
Volkswagen Touran reviewWhile the Touran - like most practical MPVs - isn't the most exciting looking car on the planet, it's the epitome of logic and sense inside, and feels very well made. Despite being a seven-seater the Touran is based on the VW Golf, so it's pretty car-like to drive.
