Ford's flagship MPV is built with one thing in mind: luxurious practicality - and it succeeds. It's massive, offering loads of space in the cabin and boot. Seven adults will fit comfortably, and both rows of rear seats fold flat into the floor. It's luxurious and surprisingly responsive to drive, too. Despite its bulk it doesn’t roll around like a big, tall van, and it's very comfortable to ride in. Entry-level Zetec models come with essentials like air-conditioning and electric windows, but Titanium versions are extremely well equipped. Of the diesels, the basic 113bhp version is weak, but the 138bhp and 161bhp engines are strong yet economical. The smaller, more economical 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbo petrol engine has recently been added to the range, offering 39mpg.
