As time is called on the Grand C4 Spacetourer, matty_prior considers the life and times multi-purpose vehicles

SUVs are sold to us as the lifestyle vehicles that can do amazing things , but go to any hubs for these activities and more often than not the vehicle of choice is a van.

It’s no wonder, then, that for carrying people , ultimately a van with windows and air-conditioning will be the right thing for that too. Citroën’s remaining MPVs – the , its way to seat seven people, and the ë-Spacetourer, which can seat up to nine – are both based on vans. And in a way, I think it’s a bit of a shame.

Most SUVs and crossovers – the cars that have effectively replaced MPVs and family wagons on suburban driveways – are styled the way they are because they seek to imitate a cross-country purpose for which they aren’t actually designed and for which owners will never use them. As a result, they’re bigger and heavier than they need to be and they’ve basically cancelled out every energy efficiency the car industry has gained over the past two decades.

I still maintain that, on balance, the Citroën Xsara Picasso is the UK’s worst-driven car. Hard though I find it to believe, though, here I am now, lamenting the demise of a type of car I never liked a great deal in the first place.
