Looking at the bigger picture we think the 148bhp 1.5 TSI 150 petrol makes the most sense. True, it lacks the low to mid-range gutsiness of the diesel, but that's only really a problem when the car's filled to the gunwales with people and luggage. On those occasions you will need to rev it harder, but the rest of the time it's absolutely fine, with more poke than a Peugeot 5008 1.2 Puretech 130 (0-62mph takes 9.8sec for the five-seater and 9.9sec for the seven-seater). It's so much cheaper than the diesels whether you're a private cash buyer or a company car user.
