What seven-seat MPV should we consider?
Planning to update from a 2006 Hyundai Trajet to a 2009/10/11 seven-seater. Any recomendations or avoidances?
Our answer:
Hi Paul,
There are two obvious choices here (three, kinda). SEAT's Alhambra is a really good seven seater, with lots of space and high quality. It's a bit flat to drive, but that's not the point of a family car for most people.
Well it may not be, but no-one told Ford. The S-Max has long been one of our favourite MPVs and even with its replacement looming, that holds true. Cracking car.
A final option, albeit slightly smaller on space than the first two, is the Opel Zafira Tourer. It's a bit underrated and under-appreciated actually, and is both really good to drive and has a lovely cabin. Worth seeking out if it has enough space for you.
