All the 7 Seater Cars on Sale Right Now

by Ivan Aistrop | 5 June 2026

For some drivers, a cute little hatchback or a sexy little sports car just isn’t an option: family responsibilities simply have to come first, and the brood has got too big for any of that. Only a big seven-seater will do.

But what are your options? Lots of seven-seater models have come and gone over recent years, mainly a mixture of MPVs and SUVs, but most of the former are now no longer available as brand new cars due to the relentless popularity of the latter: most of the MPVs left these days are the ones based on vans, in fact. So exactly what are the seven-seater models left on sale today?

It’s not as simple as just picking a seven-seater model, either. Some are seven seaters as standard, but others are only available as seven seaters when offered with specific powertrain options, while others require you to add a third row of seats as an optional extra. So, what’s the case with the seven-seater you’re considering?

And it’s not just about the seating, either. As well as having enough chairs for all the bottoms in your brood, your car needs to have enough boot space for all the stuff that the owners of those bottoms will bring along with them on a regular basis. So, which seven-seaters have all the cargo space that you need while also providing the amount of seats you need?

Well, to help out with all of those complex conundrums, we’ve put together this guide. We’ve listed all the models on sale as new cars today that are available with seven seats, and we’ve quoted cargo volumes for each (where possible) with all seven seats in place, with five seats in place, and with just two seats in place for maximum load-lugging capacity.

We’ve also included a handy ‘Notes’ section on each car. This contains the specifics of how this particular model comes to be a seven seater: whether it’s a seven-seater as standard, whether seven seats is offered as an optional extra, or whether there are any combinations of powertrain, trim level or bodystyle that preclude the availability of seven seats. And, if there’s an asterisk next to any of the cargo volume figures on a particular car, the Notes section is where you’ll find the explanation.

And when we say seven-seaters, we mean ‘at least’ seven-seaters: we’ve included eight- and nine-seaters as well. Again, it’s all explained in the Notes section.

As well as all that, we’ve also included links to our full review of each car (where available), and to CarGurus listings for each car (where available), so you can go ahead and start shopping.

A few things to note: the cargo volume figures used are either official manufacturer figures, or from other trusted sources, but sometimes, these figures simply aren’t available because the manufacturer can’t - or won’t - publish them. It’s also the case that some of these figures won’t be directly comparable with each other because of differences in the methods used to measure them. For clarity, where possible, the boot volume figures we’ve used for seven-seat configurations and five-seat configurations are measured to the load cover/window line, while the figures used for two-seat configurations are measured to the ceiling for maximum capacity. Where this isn’t the case or hasn’t been possible, we’ve tried to explain the situation in the Notes section.

And that’s about it. Now, dear reader, go forth on your mission to bag yourself a new seven-seater family car, safe in the knowledge that you know what’s what. You’re welcome.
