7 Seaters, Which is best?

If you have a large family of 3-5 kids and you don’t want a van then your only option is a seven seater. With so many seven seaters on the market, it can be very hard to choose just one. So I have compiled a list of seven seaters from all different car brands. There are cars made by the Germans, Japanese, the Americans and the Europeans in general. At the bottom of the page I will put a picture of each car in order of mention. Now that’s enough talking, Let’s get working.

Mazda CX-9: The Mazda CX-9 is a very good luxury 7 seater made by the Japanese. And although it has lots of chrome on the exterior, lots of leather on the interior and has all the technology you need it only costs $45,000-$60,000, which was a surprise to me when I saw the price tag. Also there is another 7 Seater Mazda makes called the CX-8 which is smaller and $2,000 less than the CX-9, which I think is understandable.

Mitsubishi Outlander: If you want a Japanese 7 seater that is unbelievably cheap, the Mitsubishi Outlander is the one for you. The interior is very minimalist with not many buttons and dials but the buttons and dials that are there are very well-labeled and do exactly what you want them to. Just how unbelievably cheap you may ask?, $29,000-$45,000.

Hyundai Santa Fe: The Hyundai Santa-Fe is a very good 7 seater if you want a car that is priced between the CX-9 and the Outlander and is made by the same sort of people, the Japanese. The car has quite a large central screen with lots of shortcut buttons which makes things countless times easier. But one thing has remained the old-fashioned way, the air-conditioning controls. These controls use dials for changing the temperature, just like they should, and buttons for everything else, also just like they should. This car also has all the safety equipment you could ever need and more and it also has lots of chargers for iPads and phones so the kids are entertained on long drives.

VW Tiguan Allspace: I am kicking off the German 7 seater list with an alright SUV. The Tiguan Allspace is pretty much the same as the normal Tiguan so it is a well-made, simple car you would expect from the Germans. The only difference is that they had shoved 2 extra seats into the boot so in 7 seat mode it robs about 40% of the boot space. It is reasonably priced which isn’t all that surprising, and by reasonable I mean $40,000-$55,000.

Audi Q7: What other SUV would you get other than the Q7? Everybody knows that Audi’s virtual cockpit is better than pretty much any central screen in any car and the central screen in the Audi is absolutely superb. The car has a lot of boot space in 5-seat mode and lots of leg room for the people sitting in the 6th and 7th seats. But all this incredibleness comes at a price, $97,000-$105,000 to be exact.

Skoda Kodiaq: This car is only one of 2 SUV’s this small Chzec company produces but it is definitely very good. Most of the controls are in the central screen but there are buttons and dials for the air conditioning and other important things. and the price is quite good as well as it starts at $43,000 and the top of the line costs $53,000.
