7-seater car buying guide
As great as a five-seat car can be, if you have more than five people to carry around, you’ll need something else. Luckily there’s a range of seven-seater cars on the market, and even a few eight- and nine-seater cars too.
Seven-seat cars generally have three rows of seats, and most will comfortably accommodate adults in the front two rows. As a general rule, the third row of two seats is best kept for children because legroom and headroom can be limited, but some seven-seaters are genuinely comfortable for seven adults, even on longer journeys. Most models let you fold down the third row when it’s not needed, giving you a very large boot space.
Traditionally, seven-seater cars have tended to be MPVs (also known as people-carriers), but you’ll also find many new or used seven-seat SUVs available.
What are the best used seven-seater cars?
Volkswagen Touran – The Touran is a practical but relatively compact MPV, meaning it doesn’t have to take up too much space on your driveway or in a parking space. Its size makes it easier to drive around town than some other seven-seaters.
Peugeot 5008 – With sharp looks both inside and out, the 5008 is one of the most distinctive seven-seat SUVs. You can fit adults in all three rows of seats, and there’s a big boot as well.
Skoda Kodiaq – Maybe one of the best all-rounders available, the Kodiaq is a brilliantly thought-out car. It’s spacious, comfortable and full of clever features to help make family life a touch less stressful.
Ford Galaxy – The Galaxy is a spacious and hugely practical MPV, but it’s unusual in that it’s also surprisingly fun to drive. SUVs might be all the rage, but the Galaxy shows that there’s a lot to like about people carriers.
Land Rover Discovery – A luxurious but very rugged seven-seater, the Discovery will ferry you and your family around in comfort, but it can also clamber over the harshest off-road terrain.

Common questions about 7-seater cars
If you’re on a tight budget, some of the most cost-effective seven-seater cars are MPVs such as the Mazda5, Ford Grand C-Max and Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, but you should also consider SUV options such as the Nissan X-Trail, Peugeot 5008 and Land Rover Discovery Sport. Models that have been on the market for longer will be available with higher mileage and therefore should be a more-affordable purchase price.
If you’re regularly going to have more than five people in your car then a seven-seater is your best option. The two back seats in most seven-seaters fold away when not needed to leave a large boot and plenty of space for five people.
Many SUVs now offer a seven-seat option. These tend to be the larger models because it’s easier for designers to fit seven seats into a larger body, but there are more-compact SUV models with seven seats, such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
Some SUVs, such as the Skoda Kodiaq, are available in both five-seat and seven-seat versions, while in others, seven seats are standard.
Many seven-seaters will be a tight squeeze for seven adults because the third row of seats is often more comfortable for kids. However, there are a few MPV and SUV cars that will fit adults in the back. If you’re after an MPV, take a look at the Volkswagen Caravelle and Multivan, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class (and the EQV, which is the electric model), as well as the Citroen Berlingo and the Peugeot Rifter. Some of these MPVs come in configurations that allow more than seven passengers. Particularly spacious SUVs include the Volvo XC90, the Kia Sorento and the Mercedes GLS.
Lots of seven-seaters have big boots… as long as you don’t have all seven seats in place. Many models have third-row seats that fold down flat into the boot floor when they’re not in use. That’s great if you don’t need all the seats all the time, and you’ll get plenty of luggage space.
But if you have to use all seven seats all the time, then your choices of big-boot cars are more limited. Generally, the larger MPVs will be your best option because they’re more spacious inside than SUVs. That means cars like the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Traveller, Ford Tourneo Connect and Toyota Proace Verso.
According to the independent safety testing organisation Euro NCAP, the safest cars capable of carrying seven people include the latest Volkswagen Multivan, the Genesis GV80, the Ford Tourneo Connect and Land Rover Defender, as well as the Kia Sorento, Seat Tarraco and the Mercedes GLE. All of these have full five-star ratings during the past three years, including very high ratings specifically for passenger safety.
