Family haulers aren’t restricted to MPVs any more. These are 10 of the best seven seaters you can buy
Need a large car for the whole family but aren’t convinced by an MPV? A seven-seater car might be your best bet, and we think our favourites are some of the best cars out there.
But why would you choose a car with seven seats? Well, a seven-seater car offers high levels of practicality and flexibility – meaning they can be ideal for ferrying family members or even hauling luggage on holiday – while remaining outstanding to drive.
Most seven-seaters are SUVs, and while many of these don’t offer quite the practical appeal of a true multi-purpose vehicle, they are smartly thought-out machines with a spacious and flexible interior to cater for growing families.
Some of these even combine space and practicality with stylish looks and superb, everyday performance, and there’s enough choice at a wide array of price points.
With some on our list, the third row of seats is best for children or occasional use. Others can carry a group of adults comfortably, even leaving decent space for luggage.
It’s also worth noting that for inclusion in this list, all the seating must be forward-facing, which rules out the Tesla Model S with its optional boot-mounted rear-facing child seats.
Here’s our rundown of our favourite seven-seat machines, each of which should ensure nobody gets left behind.
