For For a reasonable price, this Verso model has lots of kit and a 124bhp engine. Running costs are affordable and it's a practical family car.

Against Refinement isn't as good as it should be and legroom in the rear pair of seats isn't as generous as in some rivals.

This is our favourite diesel-powered Verso, delivering a good standard of kit and performance, while not costing too much to buy or run. It's a fine family car.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Toyota Verso isn't the biggest MPV, which is a blessing or a curse, depending on your viewpoint.

On one hand, it's compact enough to make parking pretty easy, but on the other it doesn't provide as much space in the rear pair of seats as some rivals.

The range is pretty simple, with three trims and four engines to choose from, although 1.6-litre models are available with either five or seven seats.

Entry-level T2 keeps prices low, but it misses out on some key features, including electric rear windows, which are handy when there are kids in the back. We'd recommend upgrading to TR trim, which has everything you're likely to want, including a panoramic sunroof.

T Spirit is for those willing to pay for as many gadgets as possible, and the rear-view camera certainly does come in handy.

The key options are a choice of two satellite-navigation packs, an automatic gearbox with the two largest engines, a panoramic sunroof and leather upholstery.
