Seven-Seater Rides for the Whole Fam: Top Picks Left and Right!
Five positions available for a family unit.
Pssst... Hey there family cruise control crew! Let me help you sort through the extensive options of seven-seater car models available in the German market, 'cause who wants a minibus? From affordables to electrics, compacts, and comfy-as-hell ones, here are five killer deals!
Hyundai Santa Fe – Giant in Disguise
The fifth generation of Hyundai's crossover has grown into quite the behemoth! At 4.83 meters, with an angular body and huge size, it swallows up luggage like nobody's business or, depending on your seat order, chews up five, six, or seven mouth-watering passengers with ease. The third row's no joke—it's spacious enough for adults, all thanks to the second row that's unquestionably comfy.
Hyundai ditches diesel engines and offers full and plug-in hybrids, with the more powerful variants paired with top-notch all-wheel drive. The low-key base model with front-wheel drive, 158 kW/215 PS, and automatic transmission rings in at 60,750 euros on the seven-seater!
Dacia Jogger – All That Cheap, Chic, and Compact
Can't afford Lebron's salary, but need a fresh seven-seater for the fam? Dacia's got your back with the Jogger, priced under €19k! Yeah, you read that right. That means kids and adults'll just have to sport a tighter squeeze—it's based on the small car Clio, after all. But who needs a limo to football practice?
The interior's gotten a spin in the style bin and sports an appealing, straightforward design. Basic equipment may be limited, but for an extra €2k, you can hop up to the "Extreme" model, surrounded by envy. Choose between petrol engines with three or four cylinders, or opt for the autogas variation to keep costs low.
Opel Frontera – Short, Sweet, and Spacious
Mostly vans and large SUVs dish out seven-seaters, but Opel dares to challenge the norm with its 4.39-meter-long Frontera. Plummet between compact and midsize classes, the Frontera's third row ain't just for show—though it's more necessary than luxurious. But no matter, the first five seats offer plenty 'o room and a head-turning trunk when the third row's collapsed!
The base model fancies a lively mild-hybrid petrol engine, but the electric drive ain't available yet. Expect to drop just under €25k!
Mazda CX-80 – Premium Living Awaits
The CX-80's the dapper sibling of the good ol' CX-60, standing taller with a whopping 25 centimeters and the option of a third row. It's more robust and luxurious than a Bud Light in a pint glass! The interior takes elegance to the next level with refined design, high-quality materials, and craftsmanship that'll put the big guys to shame. Comfort's galore—even in the third row, where strategic storage and USB ports make up for minor headroom concerns.
Mazda pulls out all the stops with their powertrain, serving up their flagship with a six-cylinder engine or a plug-in hybrid. And the prices? Well, they don't come cheap: The "Exclusive Line" starts at €56,200, with the better-equipped "Homura" model setting you back around €63,000.
Maxus Mifa 9 – All Electric, All Luxurious
Maxus's Mifa 9 is a posh Chinese van boasting footrests, massages, cooling seats, and luxurious seating for the second row. While the third row's a tad more cramped, you'll still experience that lush ambiance. Powered by an electric motor with 180 kW/245 PS, the battery dishes out a range of around 440 kilometers.
Pricey, but hey, you're riding with the best of 'em: The base model grabs your cash for €70k, with the delightfully well-equipped "Luxury" model setting you back €76k. That's rivals only a handful of Chinese models in Deutschland!
Don't forget—the German market offers plenty more seven-seater options, from blockbuster city cruise stars like Peugeot 5008, Skoda Kodiaq, and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace to high-end heavyweights like Audi Q7, BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Land Rover Discovery. Budget-conscious peeps should eye the Dacia Jogger, and MPV seekers should hit up the Volkswagen Multivan. Hyundai Santa Fe offers a top-notch blend of space, comfort, and affordability in the midsize SUV class.
Enjoy your family road trip adventures with these fabulous seven-seaters. Buckle up!
