Looking at some 7 seaters with #3 expected.
Narrowed down to 5008 & Smax. For the Smax what is the 1.6 like .. it seems to be the most common but was at a garage lately and they said they only go for the 2.0
How does the tcdi compare to the 1.6 hdi ?

For the extra 1-2k is the smax worth it over the 5008.. looking at 131-142

The TDCi and HDI 1.6 is the same thing, and best avoided even in later ones which admittedly are better than the older ones.

So rules out a Grand Picasso too then .. what’s the best option for an MPV in your opinion

A 2.0 TDCi S-Max would be a safer bet, harder to find though.

I’d agree on the 2.0 TDCI

Kinda expected that thx ..
Any worries on the belts of the smax .. believe there’s 2 wet and dry belt..
also what’s the biggest gra about the hdi .. had a 407 which tho crap car the engine didn’t give much trouble been regularly serviced .. everything else did mind u

Might be wrong, but isn’t it just the 1.8 TDCI on the SMax that has the wet belt? The 2.0 is a PSA unit I think.

1.6 hdi v 1.6 tcdi
