Despite a physics not very advantageous, this type of vehicle stands out above all by its modularity. Derived from utilities, SUVs are both very spacious and compact, it is a trump if you live in the city. If most are available in a 7-seater version, the last row of seats will deprive you of a large trunk (A 2017 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi will have a 340-liter trunk with its 7 seats, A compact Volkswagen Golf). So it is rather restrictive if you want to travel to many with lots of luggage.

The manufacturers to offer this kind of vehicle are however very few. The segment's leader is the 2017 Renault Grand Kangoo. Its direct competitors are the Peugeot Partner, the Citroën Berlingo and the Volkswagen Caddy. The range of prices ranges from $ 23,000 to $ 51,000 for the best equipped models

A 2017 Dacia Lodgy starts at a price of $ 22,000 in a 7-seater version while a 2017 Volkswagen Touran starts at a price of $ 36,000.

For a 2017 vehicle with more than 7 seats, the minivans must be targeted. Unpractical, they are penalized by their size in many situations. But manufacturers seem to be more concerned about this segment. Peugeot and Citroën recently introduced their Traveler and SpaceTourer. They allow to travel up to 9 people while remaining compact. Their height is for example limited to 1.90m, which allows them to enter most of the underground car parks of large cities.
