Category: Compact MPV 
Price Range: £14,395 to £24,245
New free-revving 1.4-litre petrol engine, quiet motorway cruiser, car-like handling, comfy cabin.
Firm ride, rubbery steering feel, notchy gearchange.
Practical and comfortable, but top-of-the-range models don't represent good value.
Here's something you can't argue with. In Euro NCAP crash tests the Grand Scenic scored the full 37 points to give it a five star rating for adult occupancy protection.
There are six airbags that comprise adaptive front airbags (airbags that mould to the body of the occupants), thorax airbags and curtain airbags.
Then there's energy absorbing headrests, Isofix child-seat fittings, ABS, emergency brake assist and stability control with understeer control.
An alarm and immobiliser are standard.
