Even the cheapest version of this model can accommodate up to 4.9 cubic meters of cargo. In addition, there are 2 sliding doors for easy loading/unloading of different goods. The only disadvantage is a small interior space, which lacks enough comfort.

Fiat Scudo

This Italian minivan is quite similar to Ford Transit and still occupies one of the top places in the middle class category. The minivan features a very attractive price, and also offers excellent driving comfort and pretty great luggage space. Scudo remains the universal choice among medium-sized vans due to the load compartment, which easily accommodates over 4.7 cubic meters of cargo.

What’s more, the car works perfectly even when fully loaded. Unfortunately, there’s a small engine volume and frankly scant space in the cabin at full load, which makes long-distance trips tedious.

Cars that are created to help in business turn out to be great representatives of the modern car industry. However, the minivans described above can be chosen not only by businessmen and company owners. Nowadays, such cars are quite popular solution for traveling and a universal assistant for any task.
