| PERFORMANCE RATING: |
 |
A 100bhp 1.6-litre 16-valve petrol engine may seem undersized for a car this big, and sure enough, on the motorway, the Multipla can struggle. But the engine's a sweet-revving thing, so working it hard is no pain - to the ears if not the wallet.
The 115bhp diesel is the better bet, though. It has a little more power and a lot more torque, making the Multipla a more effortless car in most conditions. If you're not delicate, however, the responsiveness of the accelerator can make for jerky progress in heavy traffic; there's a lot of low-down torque, eager to be transferred to the wheels.
