@Howard We had Skoda Suiperbes as Catford Banks Equipe team cars and I was very impressed with the room inside them and the spec inside. Not only that they handled quite well for a big old barge, a few times I was planting it in to corners at speed with half a dozen cyclists on my bumper trying to get back on to the main group and it did it well.
Fully loaded with 2 x gazebos, 10 x chairs, 7 x turbo trainers, 1 x table, 1 x water butt, 2 x crates of drink bottles, 2 x kitbags, 7 x riser blocks, 1 x camera bag, and a track pump :-D plus three bikes and seven wheels

They are based on the same PQ46 platform yep, but a lot of the VAG platforms are modular and can be tweaked - a superb is 100mm longer. The rear seat leg room is massive and the latest superb wagon has a 633L boot.
We have a 2014 Passat Alltrack, 2.0 TDI, DSG and some ridiculous amount of options we paid £11k for it. 8 think the boot is more like 600L, and we found the front passenger seat was a bit compromised with the rear facing baby seat we had.
15k might just get you into a B8 Passat which is bigger than the B7 internally but about the same outside.
My shortlist was Skoda Superb / Passat Alltrack or Volvo XC70
