Overall rating 4.5/5If you need a big, practical and plush people carrier, the Nissan Elgrand delivers. With three generations since its debut in 1997 (E50: 1997-2002, E51: 2002-2010, E52: 2010–onwards, imported to the UK), the Elgrand is praised for its comfort, smooth ride and surprisingly luxurious features for its age. The E51 and E52 brought more advanced tech, stronger safety and improvements to running costs, but space was always at the heart of the design. Put it next to rivals like the Toyota Alphard or Renault Grand Scenic, and the Elgrand wins fans for its almost lounge-like cabin and long list of gadgets – it really does feel a cut above for comfort. Flexible seating, ample boot capacity and top-spec trims shine through, though fuel efficiency can be a bit of a shock for newcomers. Today, it's still celebrated for reliability and ease of conversion to camper use.
