What fuel type? If you’re open for electric there’s the Enyaq that has a cavernlus boot and huge rear room. With a front seat fully back I’m 6 foot 1 and I can still sit in the back without touching the seat in front. I have 2 teenage boys 18 and 16 and they love the back there’s so much room.
There’s also the Vauxhall combo xl 7 seater it has a lower range but again it’s cavernlus plus the rear has sliding doors.
I’m sure there are some great petrol cars out there I’ll leave those for others to comment on. Do you have any other needs too?
Rich44 I’d prefer not to have electric but will definitely look into those suggestions. Thank you for your reply. I’m a newbie here so not sure if I’m replying to myself or you lol
I recently test drive the ioniq 5 and the enyaq, the ioniq 5 has more 4ear leg room, i couldn’t believe just how much space was in the rear
I’m certain that there’s maybe one or two cars that the rear seats can move forward and backwards. Kona EV? Kia maybe. There’s people on here who will know, but that could be something to look into.
Non-electric and under £2000 would be the MG HS, Kia Sportage, Peugeot 408 or a Renault Austral.
The MG HS has the lowest AP and has just been facelifted, the new model is significantly better than the old one. MPG not quite as good as the others, around 3-5mpg less, but that should only be a big issue if you are doing lots of miles. The AP starts at £895 for the SE rising to £1195 for he Trophy.
The Sportage is known to have had issues with its GPF filter, lots of annoyed customers & so far no definitive fix, so be wary there. The outgoing PHEV is cheap, but you’d need to plug it in to get the benefit of the electric miles.
The 408 has a unique dash design where the instruments sit over the steering wheel, which is small and mounted lower than usual, you’d need to try it out, it’s a marmite thing, some folk like it, others hate it.
The Austral’s AP is higher, so it really depends on your budget and the amount of miles you do. Again, like the MG, a fair bit of kit, even in the lower level cars.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
The Sportage is known to have had issues with its GPF filter, lots of annoyed customers & so far no definitive fix, so be wary there. The outgoing PHEV is cheap, but you’d need to plug it in to get the benefit of the electric miles.
I believe this is now fixed with slight engine updates from Hyundai/Kia
The Tucson has a roomier cabin/bigger boot and has recently being facelifted.
Agree the Sportage PHEV is an excellent buy, even with the pwer reduced to 240bhp.
