People carriers, or often known as MPV’s (multi-purpose vehicles) are a must for large families who require 5 seats or more. People carriers offer a vast amount of space inside with ample room for luggage, shopping and more. They are known to be very secure; manufacturers make safety a priority when it comes to people carriers. Their height and vantage point on the road increases driver visibility and further adds to the safety of these vehicles.

Citroen C4 Picasso
The Citroen C4 Picasso is a five-seater people carrier with a smooth driving experience. This MPV has great economical stats with a range of engines that can average a huge 73.4mpg. The design and tech in the Picasso take this MPV to the next level. A panoramic windscreen offers great visibility, and the twin screen infotainment system allows you to mirror your smartphone on the display. Rear doors open wide to allow easy access to passengers, ideal for families with car seats and children. The back is fitted with three complete identical seats and there is a flat floor, so nothing is blocking the middle seat footwell. Boot size is ample enough for a 5-person family and seats can be independently moved forward to allow for additional boot room.
The Citroen Grand C4 Picasso is the larger 7 seat version.
The Citroen C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso, were superseded by the Citroen C4 Spacetourer and Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer.
Ford B-Max
The Ford B-Max is a 5 seat SUV with the additional benefit of sliding rear doors, great for kids in tight parking spaces, you no longer need to worry about the kids accidently clipping other motorists’ doors. The boot is a good size and can be extended by folding the rear seats and front passenger seat down flat, ideal for transporting long items. The Ford B-Max has three complete seats in the rear with no B pillar blocking the footwell for the middle seat, great for families that regularly transport three passengers in the back.
