Advice about big family cars

Large family cars FAQs

The Peugeot 5008 is the one with the most loadspace. With the third row of seats folded away, you have 780 litres of boot volume (up to the luggage cover), or 1,060 litres if you remove the third row seats entirely (they’re actually not too heavy, and lift out easily enough). Do that, and fold down the middle row, and you have 2,150 litres of stowage. If you don’t want an SUV, then the Skoda Superb Combi (that’s Czech for estate) is the best bet, which can swallow 660 litres up to the luggage cover, or 1,865 litres if you fold the back seats and cram it up to the roof.

Yes, but it’s a question of how many. Virtually all family cars — even the ultra-affordable Dacia Jogger — will have Isofix anchors on the outer two seats in the back, and many will have an extra set in the front passenger seat. If you’re trying to carry lots of kids in car seats, though, then there’s a handful of cars with Isofix in all of their rear seats. The Mercedes GLB gets three Isofix points in the back seats, and an extra two if you specify it with the additional sixth and seventh seats in the boot. The Volkswagen Touran gives you a full complement of five Isofix points too, while the Land Rover Discovery gets two Isofix points in the back seats, and two more in the folding third-row seats, plus one extra in the front passenger seat. The Kia Sorento has four Isofix points - two each in the middle and third rows - while the Audi Q7 has a full complement of six Isofix points — the front passenger seat, and all of the rear seats.

The unquestioned champion here is the Land Rover Discovery, as you might expect. It can tow a maximum of 3,500kg if you’ve got a braked trailer or caravan (although you might need a licence upgrade if you passed your test since January 1997). It can also tow a maximum of 750kg unbraked. Helpfully, it’ll also do that across a nearby desert, or up an Alp, so a muddy caravan park entrance should present no issues. If you don’t want a big SUV, then a Skoda Superb can tow 2,200kg of braked weight.
