Family haulers aren’t restricted to MPVs any more. These are the 10 best seven-seaters you can buy today

The seven-seat car has transformed over the last decade. 

Where they were previously designed in the style of the traditional MPV, most of the best seven-seaters today are fashionable SUVs.

Thankfully, the general ethos of the seven-seater is still the same: multiple rows of seats, plenty of space for the whole family and especially useful for carrying cargo. 

But how about the cars on our top ten list? Some have a third row best suited for occasional use and massive boots. Others can comfortably carry a group of adults but sacrifice some luggage capacity. A few manage to do both. 

We think the Dacia Jogger is the best seven-seater on sale in the UK today, thanks to its unrivalled value and cavernous practicality.

It’s followed closely by the Kia EV9, which offers electric power with an excellent interior, decent third-row space and a sizeable electric range. 

Our list features several other great seven-seat options, so read on to find out which cars can challenge the well-priced, spacious Jogger.
