Ford Tourneo comes with eight seats. The rear six seats are perhaps the most flexible in their possible arrangements in the segment. There seems to be endless combinations available.

I’m not so sure about the rear facing set of seats that we picked the car up with. All rear seats can be removed if needed for a huge cargo capacity.

With ISOFIX and top tether points on all rear seats its practical for a large family. The amount of space inside is excellent.

The Ford Tourneo is easy to drive and simple to live with. It comes with a two litre turbo diesel engine and an eight speed automatic transmission. This provides reasonable performance and economy.

It does feel large in tight shopping centre carparks but will be awesome for the weekend kids sport runs.

There are a few similar styled people movers in the segment, almost all based on delivery vans, with the exception of the Kia Carnival.

Given the space, practicality and comfort of the Tourneo, it’s bound to become popular with larger families.

Priced from around $66,000 dollars plus the usual costs its good value.

Instead of the Ford Tourneo – buyers could look at:

Large van style people movers are more popular now especially as most are built on SUV platforms. However the segment is dominated by the Kia Carnival. Other options include: VW Multivan, Toyota Granvia, Hyundai Staria  LDV Mifa.

Kia had graciously organised a transport from the airport to the Hotel. The vehicle was a Kia Carnival.

Regular listeners will realise that I am a big fan of the Carnival. It rides and handles like an SUV, has an abundance of room inside and the latest model has quite sleek styling.

The vehicle we had for the trip was fa few years old and had some 300,000 plus kilometres on it. I was talking to the driver and asked him if he liked it. He told me he had just ordered another one and two Sorento’s for his business.

Here is a driver whose business is all about passenger comfort and he uses the Kia daily.

On the reverse trip we had another Carnival, but a different driver. On this trip we had some other passengers as well. Now here is where the practicality of the Carnival shines. The rear boot space soaked up the luggage of five adults without fuss.

As a motoring Journalist I rarely get to be a passenger, and almost never in the third-row seats. So, I volunteered to sit in the back. I’m 190cm tall and built larger than the average bear. I fitted easily. Plenty of head room, knee, and leg room. And the ride was smooth and comfortable. Getting in and out for someone my size certainly won’t win any elegance awards, but it served the purpose.

There is a reason why the Carnival is the dominant selling vehicle in the family wagon. Its that good.
