A CAR expert has revealed the best seven-seater cars on the market.
If you have a big family, you’ll know the never-ending struggle of loading the kids, the shopping, the bikes and possibly even the dog into your car.
Handily, car experts at Auto Express have come up with a list of the best seven-seater cars to buy now.
Most seven-seaters offer a decent number of Isofix child seat mounts, while some have middle-row seats that tip forward to give extra space, and others have enough USB charging points for every passenger.
Here, Auto Express have rounded off the top seven-seater cars on sale in the UK right now.
1. Dacia Jogger
From £16,305
Dacia describes the Jogger as ‘blending the practicality of an estate car with the spaciousness of an MPV and the styling of an SUV.
Despite costing the same as a mid-spec supermini, the Jogger serves up genuine space for seven and packs the carrying capacity of an estate car.
There’s lots of versatile storage, while the mix of a soft ride, nimble handling and a passable downsized turbocharged engine make it fair to drive.
2. Skoda Kodiaq
From £32,235
The Škoda Kodiaq, available since 2016, is a mid-size crossover SUV that offers three-rows of seats.
It’s a true family car offering enough space for up to seven occupants.
The third row of seats is easy to fold under the boot floor if you need more luggage space.
3. SEAT Tarraco
From £31,615
The SEAT Tarraco is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Spanish automaker SEAT.
There’s a choice of petrol engines available: a turbocharged 148bhp 1.5 TSI and a 2.0 TSI with either 187bhp or 242bhp.
4. Kia Sorento
From £47,800
With seating for up to seven passengers, the Sorento is only offered in the top Edition trim level – which means you should get family wheels with some luxury kit.
It comes with a dual-clutch auto transmission, while the plug-in hybrid should be economical.
5. Land Rover Discovery
From £57,225
All Discovery models come with full-time all-wheel drive as standard, while buyers can choose from a range of mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines.
The mild-hybrid six-cylinder engines are as smooth and unobtrusive as an expert butler, while the Disco remains as composed and capable on the road as it is in the rough.
6. Peugeot 5008
From £35,535
Peugeot’s most family-friendly model is also one of its best. Essentially a stretched version of the 3008, the 5008 boasts similarly distinctive styling,
It’s interior blends top quality with the latest tech.
There’s also loads of handy storage, while the third row is perfect for kids and fine for adults on short trips.
7. Citroen e-Berlingo XL
From £35,535
The Citroen e-Berlingo XL is an MPV rather than an SUV, but the two classes share so many traits that it’d be foolish to consider one and not the other.
It comes in two trim levels, Feel and Flair XTR and two sizes: the 5-seat M version and the 7-seat XL version.
These two lengths adapt to all your needs and can accommodate up to seven people.
