Toyota Verso (2013-2018) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Clever and practical cabin	Short on luggage space if all seven seats are in place
Reliable, hassle-free family motoring	Dull looks, even for an MPV
Affordable used prices	Not all engines were available with an auto

Quick Summary

The Toyota Verso (2013-2018) is a practical and reliable seven-seater family MPV that prioritises functionality over style. This generation offers a flexible cabin with clever seating arrangements, allowing the middle row to slide and split three ways, whilst both rear rows fold completely flat for maximum boot space. Available as five- or seven-seaters, the post-2013 facelifted models feature slimmer grilles and updated headlights. With 155 litres of luggage space with all seats in place and 440 litres with the rearmost seats folded, it provides excellent versatility for families. The cabin is durable and easy to clean, featuring seatback picnic trays and bottle holders throughout.

All engines deliver adequate motorway performance, reasonable economy and decent refinement, though the Verso prioritises comfort and body roll control over driving excitement. The 1.6-litre diesel offers the best fuel economy at 62.8mpg, whilst petrol options achieve 41.5-43.5mpg. Service intervals are every 12 months or 10,000 miles, with Toyota's 5-Club offering 20% savings on maintenance after five years. Insurance groupings range from 10 to 11, keeping premiums budget-friendly. As a used car, the Verso represents excellent value, backed by Toyota's reputation for tremendous reliability and longevity.

Best for: Families seeking practical, hassle-free motoring with flexible seating, budget-conscious buyers, and those prioritising reliability and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking stylish design, maximum luggage space with all seats occupied, or those wanting an engaging driving experience.
