Family cars are a necessity in modern life, from the school run to family trips; legroom and storage space are must-haves. The family car market has multiple areas, however, stylish crossovers provide a hatchback like feel but with more room in the back. An SUV, on the other hand, offers exceptional safety and ample luggage space. Skoda Superb It’s a cliché, but the spacious Superb really does live up to its name. Build quality is on par with its parent company Volkswagen and standard equipment leaves little to be desired. There are a variety of engine options with top spec being a 2.0 280BHP automatic engine. Everywhere you look in the Superb there is storage space; the boot is gigantic and the feature we particularly love is the parcel shelf folds down behind the rear seats to keep it out of the way when loading larger items. Land Rover Discovery Sport The Discovery Sport is Land Rover‘s most popular model right now, and it’s not difficult to see why. With cool looks, a smart interior, seven-seat versatility and fine driving dynamics, the Brit has plenty to offer. When paired with a diesel engine the Discovery returns some impressive economy figures and acceptable performance. The option of seven seats is incredibly useful if children want to bring friends along on a day trip and as for the typical Land Rover off-road prowess? It’s more than capable of anything you could throw at it. Volvo XC90 The Volvo XC90 is a luxury SUV that rivals models such as the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover Sport. Volvo has created a refreshing SUV by using Scandinavian design influences, and it feels like a premium product that delivers design-led looks and a raft of advanced safety kit. The Volvo is another seven-seat offering however leg room for the third row is comparable to a hatchback; plenty of room for adults. Standard features are very impressive, the T8 engine option comes with the ability to warm the engine and cabin via an app, pilot assists that keeps the car central in its lane and auto-dimming mirrors to avoid glare from cars in the rear. Ford Focus Car Dealers can’t sell enough of the Focus. Not only is it fun to drive and pleasant to look at, but it also offers buyers an enormous wealth of choice – from frugal-yet-fun turbocharged petrol engines to big, brawny diesels; from no-frills models, as basic as they come to those with all the mod cons you can think of – and then some. And, of course, everything else in-between – including the exhilarating ST hot hatch versions, and even an electric model. For extra luggage space, there’s an estate version too.
