The minivan market is rapidly declining, and manufacturers are abandoning this seemingly very promising segment. Most of the “vans” leaving the conveyor do not receive direct heirs. People are switching to crossovers, which often have three rows of seats. But it's relative new trend, so minivans are still out of competition among used family cars worth about $5,000.
For the top five today, you can easily find a good copy of the Chrysler Voyager 2000-2003 release. This will be the fourth generation of the model, which was produced until 2007 (including under Dodge brand caravan). Diesel and gasoline engines are equally likely to be on sale. Of course, heavy fuel units are held in high esteem, but a large number of gasoline cars received a revision in the form of gas equipment.
The most modest volume for the Voyager is 2.4 liters, but there are also 3.8-liter options. Diesel (2.5 liters) is only available with a manual transmission. Gasoline engines are often found with automatic transmissions. The drive for all modifications is on the front axle. "American" (produced in Canada, by the way) is almost always well equipped - often there is a leather interior, air conditioning, stabilization system, etc. The owners claim that this is a very comfortable "van".
Honda Stream
From 2000 to 2006, the Japanese produced a 7-seater compact van with a swift body silhouette and the laconic name Stream. Yes, this is the same car that looks like an "inflated" hatchback Honda Civic. In our price range the model falls before the revision of 2003. This car is only petrol. Engine capacity - 1.7 or 2 liters with a capacity of 125 or 156 liters. With.
Both motors had options with manual and automatic transmissions. But in the used car market in our country, Stream is only available with a manual transmission. Drive - only front. The car differs from its competitors in its sporty character and suspension perfectly tuned for active driving. Due to the low height of the body, many people prefer to call the Stream a 7-seater station wagon.
Hyundai Trajet
In the minivan segment, the Korean Hyundai Trajet has always been in an unreasonable shadow. Although it is quite good, economical and very roomy car proven to be reliable. Produced in Korea on the Sonata platform fourth generation. Many people may not like the design, but inside there are seven full-fledged seats, a high ceiling and that's it. required options(air conditioning, electric drives, etc.).
The vast majority of these cars have a diesel engine (2 liters) and a manual gearbox. Although there are options on the "machine", as well as with gasoline engines(often converted to work on gas). In 2004, the Korean minivan underwent restyling, and in 2008 it left the assembly line without receiving a successor.
Kia Carnival
From 1998 to 2006, the Koreans produced another roomy family car- Kia Carnival first generation. This model is well known to our compatriots. For $ 5 thousand on the market you can find worthy copies of 2000-2004. The creators of the car then did not particularly hide that they wanted to make an inexpensive analogue of the Chrysler Voyager. It turned out well, given that the model was in consistently high demand and has already changed two generations.
Only two engines were offered for the Carnival - a 2.5-liter petrol and a 2.9-liter diesel. Both are about the same power - 150 hp. With. Both can be found both with "mechanics" and with automatic transmission. We have more options on a diesel with an "automatic". The car, as a rule, was ordered in rich trim levels, so you can often see a leather interior, air conditioning, heated seats and various electric drives.
Mazda MPV
The second generation of this model is much more in demand in our market than the "Koreans" mentioned above. Belarusians love "Japanese", and that's it! For the top five, you can easily find a Mazda MPV from 2000-2003. If you're lucky, you can take after restyling (2003+). For the car, a whole string of gasoline engines with a volume of 2 to 3 liters and a power of 122 to 203 liters was offered. With. Diesel range modest in Japanese - only a 2-liter version (136 hp).
At the same time, almost half of the versions running on diesel fuel are on the market. Options with a capacity of 136 liters. With. were only on the "mechanics", but gasoline specimens are often found with automatic transmission gears. Three-liter MPVs were completely exclusively with automatic transmission. It is almost impossible to find a car on the market without air conditioning and an ESP system.
Mitsubishi Space Wagon
by the most affordable option of those presented in the rating is Mitsubishi Space Wagon 1997-2000 of release. The model of these years is the most popular, since since 1998 the car has received a major update, and this option still does not look so outdated. Three different ones were put on the car gasoline engines- volume of 2, 2.4, and 3 liters. The last two can be equipped with an automatic transmission. Basic is available only with "mechanics".
Until 1998, minivans were equipped with diesel units volume of 1.8 and 2 liters. These engines were only paired with a manual transmission. By the way, there are practically no versions on the automatic transmission on the market. Expensive trim levels the cat cried too. Often Space Wagons do not have air conditioning, ESP also began to be installed only closer to the 21st century. The rest is quite reliable, unpretentious and roomy car.
Opel Zafira
In general, Opel Sintra is a competitor to most of the above machines. But for $5 thousand there is much more interesting option- Zafira model. This car became the world's first compact van based on the C-class with three rows of seats. For the specified amount, you can safely watch restyled versions released after 2002.
Almost 70% of all Zafira in our market came here from Europe. Hence the huge number of diesel modifications. The car was equipped with 2- and 2.2-liter heavy-fuel engines. The volume of gasoline units varies from 1.6 to 2.2 liters. The most powerful give out 147 hp. With. There was still OPC version but we can't find her.
Peugeot 807
Metamorphoses with the Russian ruble brought down the prices of used cars so much that, having $5 thousand in your pocket, you can look at the Peugeot 807. But the model still looks fresh and attractive for large families. This car also has "twins" Citroen C8, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra. All of them are presented in our market, but the most popular are Peugeot and Citroen.
Most often, a French minivan is equipped with diesel engine volume of 2 or 2.2 liters. Sometimes a very powerful 2.9-liter gasoline unit, which was put on expensive modifications and was paired only with an "automatic". The rest of the "gasolines" include 2- and 2.2-liter engines, which come with both manual and automatic transmissions. Almost all copies of 807 have an average configuration and “mechanics”. In 2014, the model was discontinued.
The Renault Espace family is considered to be the pioneer of the minivan segment. And despite the fact that the latest generation of the car has turned into a premium crossover, all predecessors sold well in Europe and are well known in our market. For $5,000, you can watch like a third generation Espace recent years release (2000-2002), and the fourth generation model.
Gasoline Espaces are extremely rare on the market. Just like the AKP versions. Diesel options there are both modest 1.7-liter and 3-liter with a return of 180 hp. With. But it's not the most powerful model- there was also a petrol Espace with a 3.5-liter engine producing 241 hp. With. Race! By the way, literally all versions of the minivan have air conditioning, a good set of airbags, ESP, alloy wheels and etc.
Here it is, the favorite of Belarusians! Once the Volkswagen Sharan was pipe dream any family man. Today, for another $5,000, try to sell the first version of this minivan. For that kind of money, you can safely choose the 2000+ year of manufacture in the “Auto Flea Markets” filter and watch restyled models. Of course, most Sharans we have are diesel with a 1.9-liter engine with a capacity of 90 to 130 hp. With.
There were petrol options volume from 1.8 to 2.8 liters. The latter are often placed gas equipment. Approximately 20% of all used Sharans have an "automatic", the rest will have to wield "mechanics". By the way, in addition to front-wheel drive, AWD was available for the model. But you rarely see such a car for sale. Same as the version with leather interior. However, there are some.
IN modern world autotourism is becoming widespread. It's great - to race along a flat highway, admiring the passing landscapes. And in order to travel comfortably, it is important which car you choose for traveling. If the car has a cramped interior, then sitting out for several days is quite problematic.

- spacious, roomy interior,
- Sufficiently spacious trunk
- soft suspension,
