All the 7-seater cars on sale in the UK

These are all the 7-seater cars sold new in the UK, from budget people carriers to electric SUVs, with the numbers that decide whether seven seats really work: boot space with all seven seats up, who fits in the third row, how many Isofix points there are and where, and the price of the cheapest version with seven seats.

Use the filters to narrow the list by fuel, body style, budget and features such as sliding doors, then open a model for its dimensions, engines and recall history. Where the manufacturer and the reviewers disagree on a figure, we show both rather than pick the flattering one.

Start with the filters that rule cars out. Fuel, body style and budget shorten the list fastest. The remaining filters narrow it to cars with an automatic gearbox, sliding doors, at least three Isofix points or a third row that reviewers rate for adults.

Sort by price, boot space with seven seats up, length, Isofix points or electric range. The price is for the cheapest version with seven seats, which is not always the cheapest version of the car. A blank or "Not published" figure means neither the manufacturer nor the reviewers we checked give it.

Add up to three cars to the compare tray to see them side by side, or compare the length and height of a shortlist, to scale, with the car size comparison tool.

Seven seat belts are the start, not the finish. Four things separate a car that works with seven people on board from one that only works on paper.

• A third row that suits your passengers. Where independent reviewers have sat in the back, we rate the third row on a five-step scale, from children to adults. Most SUV third rows suit children or adults on short trips; people carriers usually do better.
• Boot space with all seven seats up. Brochures lead with the five-seat figure. With the third row in use, plenty of SUVs keep less than 200 litres, and our 7-seater boot space comparison shows how wide the spread is.
• Isofix points in the right places. Count them, then check where they are. Some cars put the third point on the front passenger seat, while a few have them in the third row or across all three middle seats.
• Easy access. Sliding doors, middle seats that tip and slide in one movement and a wide gap to the back row matter most if you load children every day.

Check that seven seats come with the engine you want, too. Plug-in hybrid versions of the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tayron are five-seaters because the battery takes the space. Our guide to choosing a 7-seater goes through each check.

Every model starts with research from manufacturer UK price lists, brochures and specification sheets, checked against independent reviewers such as Auto Express, carwow and Honest John, and against Euro NCAP for safety ratings. Sources are named on every model page, and where they disagree, the page says so.

Free government data then keeps the site current:

• Recalls: DVSA recall records, checked every month.
• Fuel economy and CO2: Vehicle Certification Agency figures, refreshed every quarter.
• MOT pass rates: DVSA MOT test results, updated once a year and shown for used 7-seaters by year of first registration.

Prices and specifications change during a model's life, so each model page shows when we last checked it. Confirm the exact version with a dealer before you order. Our page on how we research explains the process in full.

A model joins the list as Coming soon once its UK price or order book is announced, and moves into the main table when it goes on sale. Recent arrivals include the Jaecoo 8, MG MGS9 and Xpeng X9, and more are on the way:

• BYD Ti7: a seven-seat plug-in hybrid SUV with UK orders open and customer deliveries due from January 2027, according to BYD UK.
• Hyundai Staria Electric: an electric people carrier with seven or nine seats, which What Car? expects in late 2026. There is no UK price yet.
• Mercedes-Benz VLE: the electric successor to the EQV, with first UK deliveries expected in early 2027 (EV Fleet World).
• Denza D9: a seven-seat plug-in hybrid MPV. UK prices are set, but Denza had not confirmed when deliveries start.

Some familiar names are going. Land Rover will end Discovery Sport production in December 2026 (Motor1), and BMW's page for the next X5, due in spring 2027, says nothing about a third row. Cars no longer sold new, such as the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Touran, are covered in our used 7-seaters section.
