If you are still comparing different family car options, you may also find our guide to choosing your perfect family car useful.
| Model | Best for | Key benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Combo-e Life | Electric family practicality | Compact size with impressive interior space |
| Hyundai Santa Fe | Families wanting SUV comfort | Premium feel, strong practicality and available hybrid options |
| Vivaro-e Life | Large families and business users | Huge cabin space and electric running |
| Peugeot 5008 | Everyday family SUV use | Stylish SUV with flexible seating |
Here are some of our favourites:
When it comes to getting the maximum space in the smallest dimensions, boxy is best. The packaging of the new Vauxhall Combo-e Life is nothing short of brilliant, managing to pack seven seats in a car which is no longer than a family hatch.
Like all Vauxhall electric models, it could save you a fortune in running costs too, with £0 road tax, congestion charge exemptions, 2% Benefit in Kind for company car drivers, and lower maintenance costs.
Best for: Families who want the practicality of a people carrier with the lower running costs of an electric vehicle.
Things to consider: It is very practical, but if you regularly do long journeys, make sure the electric range works for your routine.
Hyundai’s flagship is a brilliantly versatile car, and having seven seats is just one of the reasons we think you’ll love it. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers the luxury, quality and technology of a prestige saloon, the load space of a large estate and the all-weather security of four-wheel drive on most models too.
Best for: Families who want a comfortable SUV with seven seats, strong equipment and a more premium feel.
Things to consider: If you want the lowest running costs, compare the hybrid and plug-in hybrid options carefully before choosing.
The Combo’s big brother, the Vivaro-e Life, offers the same innovative packaging and low running costs but in an even bigger package. There is space to spare with only seven on board too, as the Vivaro-e Life is available with a choice of eight or nine seats across three rows.
Best for: Large families, taxi-style use, business users or anyone who needs maximum passenger space.
Things to consider: It is bigger than a typical SUV, so it is worth booking a test drive to check parking, visibility and everyday usability.
The Peugeot 5008 has all the style and quality of a premium SUV, both inside and out, but has a neat trick - it’s also as spacious and practical as a people carrier. The biggest Peugeot has seven spacious seats, of course, but there’s more to it than just the number of people it can carry.
Best for: Families who want seven-seat practicality without giving up SUV style.
Things to consider: As with most seven-seat SUVs, the third row is usually best suited to children or shorter journeys.
Some of the best 7 seater electric cars include Hyundai, Mazda, MG, Vauxhall, and Suzuki.
Ultimately, the best 7 seater car depends on your preferences, considering factors like range, price, and brand loyalty.
