Citroen C4 Grand Picasso or Honda Odyssey. Ultimately, you should do a physical test drive to feel which you feel comfortable in. Currently I’m driving Kia Carnival as it suits my driving style and comfort. Lots of space behind and passengers feel very comfortable. I’m 1.8m tall so I tested sitting behind as passenger as well. Estima is great too but pricey for me.
