This is Skoda’s largest SUV, and five- and seven-seat versions are available.
If you enjoy the feeling of getting more for your money, the Skoda Kodiaq will be right up your Quality Street. If you go for one of the hybrid options, you will lose a large chunk of the boot space.īoot size - Seats up 395-520 litres Seats down 1,357-1,482 litres You can even fold the front passenger seat forwards for extra long loads, so the skis need not be relegated to the roof. In five-seat mode, the 520-litre boot offers plenty of versatile space, while the wide and low opening would make it easy to load a flat-screen television if you decide to take advantage of the New Year sales - just in case you missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts.įold the seats down and you’re presented with a large 1,482-litre load area. Not that the sharp styling and dramatic dashboard design come at the expense of practicality. Thanks to its sharp styling and cutting edge interior, the 3008 muscles in on the upmarket end of the market. Not to be confused with the old Peugeot 3008, which was about as exciting as leftover Brussels sprouts, the current version has had a makeover of Cinderella proportions. But with monthly prices starting from less than £200, there's not much you can complain about really.īoot size - Seats up 467-478 litres Seats down 1,614-1,623 litres It’s worth noting that the seats don’t fold entirely flat and the entry-level version doesn’t offer a split-fold rear bench - so if you want the most practical Duster, bear this in mind. Better still, with the Duster you'll save enough to pay for the presents in the first place compared with many pricier alternatives.įold the seats down and the space extends to 1,623 litres, which is more than the more expensive Nissan Qashqai offers.

With the rear seats in their upright position, there’s 445 litres of space, which is significantly more than you’ll find in the Volkswagen Golf. Put it this way: you’re getting a family-size SUV for a fun-size price. Size-wise, it sits somewhere between the Renault Captur and Renault Kadjar, so if you’re a family of five, the Duster is a perfect fit small enough to be easy to drive, but with enough passenger and boot space to be seriously practical. At £10,995, it’s Britain’s cheapest SUV, with even the 4x4 version costing less than £16,000. The Dacia Duster: pound-for-pound, you can’t buy a budget SUV for less.
