Practical and perfect for families: the best seven-seater cars of 2023

Families choose seven-seater cars because of their high level of practicality, space, and reliability. Manufacturers of such SUVs offer a comfortable interior so that all passengers have their own place in the car.

Autocar has published a list of the best seven-seater cars of 2023. Experts checked all the advantages and disadvantages of the vehicles.

Volvo XC90

The car combines space, practicality, comfort and reliability. The XC90 offers an excellent balance of performance, efficiency, and low operating costs, especially in the hybrid version. The models are equipped with 4-cylinder turbocharged engines, and the B5 diesel with mild hybrid provides decent speed.

Hyundai Santa Fe

A large, family car with an electric motor has a spacious seven-seater interior, and the third-row seats are comfortable for adults. High-quality materials and modern technology make the car even more attractive and advantageous. The 1.6-liter engine produces 262 horsepower, and the electric motor produces 90 horsepower.

Dacia Jogger

The Romanian car may not be as stylish and luxurious, but it drives smoothly and is a worthy competitor to other cars in this segment. The vehicle has enough space for seven adults, although the third row is best left for children during long trips. The light and precise steering is combined with a slightly raised seat position to make the ride even more comfortable.

Volkswagen Multivan

The car combines a 1.4-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor that produces 215 horsepower. There are also traditional gasoline and diesel options. The real star is the interior, with its spaciousness and modularity that can be easily and effortlessly adapted to your needs. Neat additions include a reusable storage compartment that can be moved around the cabin and a folding table.

Land Rover Defender

The seven-seater Defender has third-row seats that are slightly smaller than similar Discovery models, but still great for children, teens, and adults. The SUV is excellent off-road and is a great choice for family travel.

Kia Sorento

All models of the car have seven large seats. The latest updated design has influenced the appearance and spacious interior. The 1.6-liter gasoline hybrid provides reasonable fuel consumption in the city but does not show such efficient performance during long trips.

Peugeot 5008

The 5008 has three separate middle-row seats that fold down individually, all with Isofix attachments. The third-row seats are large enough for children to use, but they can also accommodate a smaller child seat with a seat belt and a passenger if you slide the seat in front of it forward to make room.

Land Rover Discovery

Even the entry-level S models have seven seats as standard, with Isofix attachments in four of the five rear seats. The engine lineup now consists exclusively of six-cylinder gasoline and diesel options.

Skoda Kodiaq

The car entered the seven-seat SUV market in 2016. This is a vehicle that quite skillfully split the difference between full-size and mid-size variants. The Kodiaq has a large interior and trunk for a vehicle of its price and size. The Kodiaq's engine lineup is quite extensive, offering a choice of both gasoline and diesel engines.

Mercedes GLS

The base gasoline engine provides enough performance for a fairly slow car, and the ride quality is impressive thanks to the adaptive dampers. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive models are also good on off-road, rivaling the Land Rover Discovery Sport. The middle-row seats slide forward and backward and offer decent space for adults.
