Honest John Awards 2018: MPV category
The MPV buyer eschews the fickleness that makes SUVs popular these days and chooses a car for one reason only: practicality. A good MPV should have a huge cabin, massive boot and maximum comfort.
The Honest John MPV shortlist is based on user visits to pages on HonestJohn.co.uk - so they're chosen not by us, but based on how popular they are with you.
The 2 Series Active Tourer feels every bit as plush as the bigger 3 Series, but its high roofline and hatchback make it the better family car. Yet it's surprisingly dynamic.
When it comes to MPVs, particularly those with seven seats, few models come close to matching the versatility of the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso.
The Mercedes-Benz B-Class is everything an MPV should be, with acres of space and lots of family-friendly tech. Add in the frugal engines and comfortable driving position and it’s easy to see why the B-Class is such a hit with HonestJohn.co.uk readers.
Designed to appeal to buyers after more space than the Focus but who don't want to sacrifice a sporty design or good handling, the C-MAX provides the best of all worlds with a dynamic drive and lots of practicality.
More practical than a standard Golf, yet every bit as good to drive, the Volkswagen Golf SV provides the best of both worlds, with van-like space and comfortable road handling.
