Volkswagen Caravelle MPV
What Car? rating - 3 out of 5
FOR  Based on the Transporter van, the Caravelle has plenty of interior space and a luxurious cabin. It’s well built and drives surprisingly well given its van origins.
AGAINST  Van-like looks and size may put off some buyers. Very expensive - smaller rivals do the job just as well but cost far less.
