Our Ceed wagon has recently been carrying a variety of loads within its sombre, black-carpeted boot.
However, the rear passenger-cum-stowage area format lacks imagination, with the squabs neither flipping nor folding, while the tailgate is fiddly to open and needs a hefty slam to close.
Design flexibility arguably has been diverted to its newer seven-seater Carens MPV stablemate. In mitigation, our SW has six handy under-floor stowage compartments including a central portable tray with handles for odds and ends.
Verdict
|
|
- Capable dual-role load lugger
|
|
- Rear layout lacks flexibility
